TTDPatch on Win xp x64
TTDPatch on Win xp x64
Hi Josef,
just I wanted to test the TTDPatch on Win XP x64, but it crashes.
I adjusted the compatibility to windows 2000, XP and Win98, all the same - the game crashes every time

At what point does it crash? Does it make a crash log?Hi Josef,

That's not something I can fix. Someone who has XP64 might be able to,
though.

If you are comfortable using a hex editor, you can open gamegfx.exe (make
a backup first!), find all occurences of "64 8A 04 18" and change the "64"
into "90" for all of them (everything in hex here).
Then delete ttdloadw.ovl to make sure these changes get imported there.
That should theoretically fix the problem.
