I have looked quite a bit for help on DirectDraw compatibility but nothing has worked and I would rather not disable my graphics card and restart my pc whenever i wanted to play. So I am looking for some other way to fix it plz help.

What do you mean with legacy apps. Also for some reason my graphics card isn't compatible with directdraw. I am unsure of the reason for this.

I am not clear on what your actual problem is. If you take a minute to explain the problem in detail it is going to help us help you better. Start by telling us what is the exact error message you see and what are the steps to reproduce that error.

If the problem is related to a game you play we would expect more details about the game as well. For instance what is that game and does it work offline? If the issue is specific to Voobly, you should have some error messages or warnings that will help us pin point the exact problem.

Thank you

Alright so... the problem is that whenever I try to load into an AOE II game it will start to appear as a black screen then quickly delete itself and pop up an error that states, "Could not initialize graphics system, Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw". This only happens when I try to play through Voobly. Offline my AOE II Hd works perfectly.
Correction: when the game is launched through Voobly's lobby system that is when it pops up as a black fullscreen and then closes itself to pop up the message.

Please ensure that your game room settings are exactly like this:

You can verify this by hosting a game room in any lobby

Window allows you to start the game within a window/container thereby preventing lag when switching between active windows. The small window you are referring to only stays active until the game actually begins. Once the game starts, your window should automatically go full screen. If it does not for some reason, consider changing the resolution from in-game options. Select the one that matches your native desktop resolution.

Further questions if any are welcome. :)

Hi,

I have the same problem, but once I launch Aoe1, I just get the game inside smaller window and can't go fullscreen. Inside the game, there are no option for game resolution like 1920x1080. I tried your setts (though I don't see the option "up style" in the menu).

Thanks in advance !

Hi Kitt,

Thank you for your answer. How do I launch aoe in HD mode but offline ? If I launch outside Voobly, it's just the old normal game that appears.

Note : I tried with windows 7 on the same computer and I don't get that problem. Also, with my older laptop, no problem neither (with windows 10), it's only on this one. I have a recent graphic card (geforce gtx 1060 3gb), maybe the problem comes from drivers not adapted to windows 10 ?

try a standard launch off of voobly and see if all works ok.

yes it's aoe1. What is a standard launch off of voobly ? As I said, when I launch outside voobly, it works normally bu the game is not HD. When I launch in voobly, the gam is HD but in a small window.

Hello, I see other Techs, have told you to start windows mode so.

Try this!

I Don't have the option "extended hotkey" and the "userpatch" does not show up neither.
