SiegDerMaus Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hello! Recently, I decided to dig out my old copy of Rock Raiders for nostalgia purposes. However, it will no work on my computer. The game launches, as the settings I have applied for it in compatibility mode are applied, but I never see a movie, or loading screen, or anything. I really hope I can get it working again!

Northian Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have run into this problem as well. I just recently bought a copy of the game and installed it on my computer but every time I try to run it I get the dialogue box asking me if I want to run Lego Rock Radiers and I click OK but as soon as I do the game closes. No loading screen or anything. I checked the processes via task manager and soon after I click run it disappears. Even with compabitity modes selected. I am also running windows 7: 64 bit. If I find out the problem as well I'll be sure to post back on here how I got it working. (Unless someone else knows what to do! HELP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northian Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Found out the problem. It was the DRM that isn't supported anymore by Microsoft. This thread has the links to the answers on how to fix it. I'll link the actual Microsoft webpage as well to get straight to the commands. Basically open the command prompt in administrator and then put the code in to start up the DRM service. And then stop it when you are done with the other command on the site. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegDerMaus Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 That seems to have worked, thanks! Never mind. I get the loading screen now, and then it crashes right where the opening movie should start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Are you running in RGB Emulation or Direct3D HAL? And if that question ain't helpful, try copying the videos off your disc into the \Data\Avi folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegDerMaus Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 RGB Emulation? Direct3D HAL? The second suggestion didn't seem to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You do get this option when you start the game directly from the .exe (not shortcut) no? Anyhow, Direct3D HAL is always the route to go for success with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegDerMaus Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I do not get that option, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegDerMaus Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Okay, it looks like it crashes before it can display those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegDerMaus Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I got it working! Unfortunately, it seems to my Rock Raiders have developed a rare disease that makes whole sections of their body transparent or invisible. I'd like to find a cure for these poor afflicted Lego men. Edit: I'll make a new thread for it, since this is a separate issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
