The problem is that it runs on an old version of d3d or something that windows just doesn't do any more.
The game itself has the option to run in software mode though. Go to where you installed the game.
In galaxy (if you used that) click more, then manage installation, then show folder.
If you installed manually I think GOG installers default to something like C:\GOGGames or something like that, and then it will be under a folder called Divine Divinity.
If you installed manually and have a shortcut on desktop, you can right click on that, and click properties, and then open file location.
In that folder there is a file called "configtool.exe".
Run it.
In the middle area of the box that pops it will have a selection for "New rendering system:" and the choice of direct 3d, or software.
Pick software.
Apply and close, it will probably launch the game at this point.
The game, after doing this, ran perfectly fine for me.
i think this may help.
i think this may help.
1) Right click on the icon that starts DD and go into Compatibility mode and try running it under WIndows XP compatibility.
2) Launch the video tester and try using the software renderer instead of your beast of a video card. The CPU's of today outperform the video cards from back then so handling it on software renderer instead of on the video card should be fine.
3) And then there is the option to use Legacy Modes on a newer graphics card but I can't recall right now if that's an option under the Windows 10 gaming section or under the specific graphics card software itself.
