viktor1406 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 ok i googled thsi for a time so long you wouldn't believe it. its a long time since i played rock raiders and the last time was on xp. so i get an error can't find drdrm.dll i downloaded it . i run it in compatibility mode for 2000 but when i start it i just get a solid black screen, i read a lot and they say you just need to disable the avi's. the problem is : how the heck do you do this i read a lot of cfg and stuff but can someone give me an easy step for step plan to fix this problem? (im running on windows 7 64bit and srry for my bad english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Don't run it in compatability mode? Honestly I've never seen this issue before. Also it works perfectly on every computer I've ever used it on from 98 to 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it works perfectly on every computer I've ever used it on from 98 to 7. i read on a couple of other treads that you need to make a change in the cfg where do you find this file? to disable the avi files beceause when i just delete them i get a picture for a couple of seconds. http://www.rockraide...__fromsearch__1 ive got the same problem as that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really need to skip them get the cfg out of the wads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenyx Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The CFG is in one of the WAD files. You will need a WAD tool to access it. Be careful, the game's main code is stuffed into only two files - the the hard coded EXE for the engine (no need to edit it), and the CFG which contains all the basic game rules. Editing something in there that you don't know about will change things in unexpected ways or even cause a crash. A lot of mods are actually simple edits of the CFG, so once you figure out what everything is you can go ahead and start modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
