    Rock Raiders on Windows 7: DirectX error

    I'm probably late on this, but I may have figured out how to get around this DirectX 6 error message. Hope you find this helpful. I have also experienced the same exact issue that everyone on this thread has. I followed all the guides here to the T about how to run Rock Raiders on Windows 10. What I found out is that if you did the steps for configuring dgVoodoo, you end up with this DirectX 6 error message. What I did was I deleted the 3 DLL files from my LRR installation directory which are D3D8.dll, D3Dlmm.dll, and DDraw.dll. And then I also deleted dgVoodooSetup.exe and dgVoodoo.conf. However, DO NOT DELETE d3drm.dll You need to keep that file which you downloaded from this site in your LRR installation directory. Then right-click LegoRR.exe and click Properties. Go to Compatibility tab and under Compatibility mode check the box and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Check the box Reduced color mode and select 16bit (65536) color. Check the box Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution. Check Run this program as an administrator. Then click apply. Now run LegoRR.exe and then when the Mode Selection window pops up, choose the Window Mode and then make sure Direct3D HAL is selected. The box on the bottom right will highlight 640x480. You want to run this game in Windowed mode because the game LAGS like crazy on fullscreen mode. You can also hide the bottom taskbar if it is blocking the window. And VIOLA! My Lego Rock Raiders runs great! I am using HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook laptop and it runs on Windows 10. It has Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 and runs on DirectX 12. TL;DR: Don't do the dgVoodoo steps in the guides. Follow the first few steps, but when you get to the part where you do the dgVoodoo stuff, STOP right there. Configure the properties of LegoRR.exe and run Lego Rock Raiders in Windowed Mode at 640x480.
