ellman12 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hi, So when I try to run the LegoRR.exe, the screen shrinks to the 640x480 resolution, but then reverts back to the original resolution. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? Any help is seriously appreciated!!! (If pictures and/or a video would help, I can get those BTW) mattbatcraz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To run, have you also tried this guide? If the game shows no sign of starting, you quite possibly have a copy protected version using Safedisc which is not supported by Windows anymore. You can either find a non-protected version or try this guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the quality isn't that potato and you can actually read the text on-screen. Expand Nice idea :D So, I think it could be two issues. 1: The Notification is blocking the resolution and rr crashes because of that. 2: rr crashes directly because you start it from the CD. Try to start rr directly from the LegoRR.exe in the folder where you copied the D3DRM.dll file. ( e.g.: "C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Media\Spiele\Rock Raiders\LegoRR.exe" ) This should be open the small Window with the mode selection before the game is starting, like in my first post from this thread.

Expand Since that never appears, it's seems likely that you have a copy-protected version which won't run as Microsoft dropped support of SafeDisc. You'll need to either get a non-protected version or try this: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/guides/lego-rock-raiders/lrr-windows-10-setup-guide-safedisc-version-r4/ Easiest way to know is if "LegoRR.icd" is bigger than 0kb.

mattbatcraz Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have done all the steps, but as the screen begins to change to run the lower resolution it just crashes, windows asks me if it started correctly, and that's it.. I was really looking forward to actually beating this game finally too.. update: screen resolution will shrink down to launch the game, but will change back to the normal resolution and never launch the game, and sometimes will blare a one note sound out of the speaker for half a second.

AceLaserBear Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I must have tried every method in every forum post at this point, yet I'm still getting a quick flash of a black screen then crash to desktop. Does anyone have a fail-proof installation method for Win10? I'm using some disc mount I got from a sketchy website and I'm on a Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 Graphics card if that's any help. I just wanna play this darn game, why is it so impossible to install??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Glückskekschen Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I have tested it with the original and a english release, but I think the issue is that it is an re-release.
