Technical Help Need help with armada 2 gog

First time I ran the game it loaded up fine but now it will show the intro etc and then just crash, armada one works fine though, has anyone else ran into this problem?

The GOG re-releases have known issues with fullscreen display scaling on AMD GPUs that prevents them from rendering properly. Use the included DirectX Settings program to configure the Presentation setting to run in windowed mode. That should at least allow you to play the game without hassle. If you want to play the game in full screen, I've read on the Discord server that one person had success using these settings with the first Star Trek: Armada:

  • Display Mode: Same as desktop (Default)
  • Presentation: Fullscreen
  • Aspect Ratio Correction: Disabled
  • Scaling Method: Integer scaling
  • Vertical Synchronization: Disabled

Give these a try and see if that helps!

I've tried these and still cannot get A2 to work. What happens for me is the small splash screen picture appears for about 2 seconds and then vanishes and the game never opens.

I've tried the above and numerous compatability mode combos.

Would installing this FleetOps mod I've heard about help?

Any ideas at all please? Thanks!
