Hi there, so i've just bought the Settlers 4 from here and managed to play. There comes the problem. I saw the the cinematics , animations whatever are these things after you launch it. But after it all ended, my screen just became black and said to me "No Signal". Ye theres no cabel or any problem like that. What should i do? I have win10.

Already sorry for my crap english, hopefully its understable

Thanks
Start by looking here: https://www.gog.com/forum/the_settlers_series and in GOG's support page for that game.

Hey there, you can download DXGL to make the game run properly.
Is your PC connected to a TV or a proper computer monitor ?.
Ofc, i mean yea for sure, its a proper Acer monitor, shouldn't be problem with my monitor. You know, its connected otherwise how would i abble to do things on my PC, its only happens when the cinematics ends.

Dray2k:

Can you just help me out a little bit more, how to config it or i dont know, you know im a casual pc user, who doesnt know anything of it just to how to download and instal games and click on it , lewl, know only the damn basic things.

Glad that I checked this thread again, I only get a notice if you quote me by using the quoting feature on this forum.

Anyway, I try to help.

You start the programm, click on "Add" and choose the .exe (the file you click on so the game starts). You have to figure out the settings yourself since I deleted my own but I remember that I checked all checkmarks and put Video mode to "Aspect corrected stretch" and scaling method to "nearest".

Perhaps doing this is already enough to make the game run.

EDIT: I remember that I also used DXGL in conjunction with dgVoodoo 2 which is less complicated than DXGL. Perhaps try out both.

It works perfectly for me though, even without any external fixes.
- i7 6700, 32GB DDR4, GTX970, SBZ, Win10 x64 v1809, setup_the_settlers_4_gold_2.50.1516_(22976).exe

Do you have DirectDraw enabled? Do you have it installed outside a Windows folder (like Program Files)?
(just some basics that cover a lot of old games in Windows (10).
