So just wanted to post to all I just installed v1.02 regfix on Win10 64-bit UPDATE: a little bit of skipping as I scroll across the screen, but at least the thing actually now seems to load in D3D mode!

Give me some solid, easy to understand facts that will work, for me, and others to come in 2019. Soooo, how do we get this alternate version/ file to work? Using the "D3DPopTB.exe" file Version to work that has much better graphics!? There are workaround for EVERYTHING!. I did so by doing lots of research via Google Search, however I can't find anything up to date now and that works for me. Newer PC and using Windows 10 has altered the way to change files, even IF I had the way I changed them before. I've acquired this game many times through DL over the years, as recent as 3 years ago and had to alter the game files. When I played this at release in and around 1999 I played the better version even then, and that's what I want now. I'm not playing this version, because it's totally unacceptable. To be clear, this is the more pixelated or earlier version of the game, like Minecraft. Let's see if we can update this waaaay better?!. And, Thanks, in advance!!!Ĭatpsyche: Okay, let's try this Troubleshooting Thing for Populous:The Beginning in 2019.
