Spartan No Start - Windows 7 - Not d3drm.dll

Post by Anigai »

Hi guys,

Long time player of Spartan here for about 10 years on and off with an original disk copy, I've always loved the game.
Never played or installed Gates Of Troy but I wouldn't be against it bar some issues I'm having.

Issue: After recent reinstall from my disk copy after maybe a 3 year hiatus I had to perform the d3drm.dll repair which stopped that error.
Now when I try to start Spartan the exe appears in task manager for about 0.5 seconds before disappearing with no changes happening(e.g. attempting to go full screen or display a window for the game to run in).

I have used this game disc for over a decade with no issues and it is not damaged.
Any help you guys can provide is highly welcomed and appreciated.

Basic System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_ldr.170810-1615)
CPU: Intel i7 4790k
GPU: Nvidea GTX 1080
RAM: 16GB

Troubleshooting Steps Performed:
-d3drm.dll issue appears resolved after previously outlined steps performed. I have tried using older versions of d3drm.dll as well just in case.
-Reinstalled multiple times. Now Installed at C:\Spartan\Spartan
-Game updated to 1017.
-Both shortcut and game exe made to "Run As Administrator".
-Both shortcut and game exe also ran in Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode.
-Both shortcut and game exe have "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" enabled and disabled through troubleshooting.
-Resolution set to various levels and attempted to start game (this helped with another unrelated game in the past).

-1. My drivers are all up to date including my graphics card.
-2. Latest patch installed to 1017.
-3. CD emulation software disabled and virtual drives removed.
-4. That provided FAQ yields a "Page not found".
-5. dxdiag info at bottom of post to avoid clutter.

Re: Spartan No Start - Windows 7 - Not d3drm.dll

Post by VPaulus »

I can only offer three suggestions:

1. Reduce your DPI setting to 100%. Check OPTION ONE:
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/4 ... hange.html

2. Try to disable all background programs in case these are interfering with the normal running of the game.
You can do this by running msconfig and disabling all non-windows start-up programs and services.
Then once you have disabled all non-Microsoft services, please run the game and see if the issue persists.
If it does not, please then reopen msconfig and reenable those services, one by one, until you find the program causing the problem.
A tutorial on how to do this can be found below:
https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/23848

3. Uninstall the game, create a new Windows Administrator account, reboot Windows, login in new account and install the game.

I would also remove the Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode.

If none of these work, I'm afraid I don't know what else you can do to make it work.

Thanks for getting back so quick man.

It looks like those didn't work.
I'm convinced that some older games just hate the GTX 1080 and I can't really blame them.

On the bright side I have another laptop I can try on with integrated Intel graphics so with any luck, just like all the other times I've installed the game it should just install and work away no problems at all.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Spartan No Start - Windows 7 - Not d3drm.dll

I tried my disc copy of the game on the integrated graphics laptop on a Windows 10 install with the exact same issue which through a process of elimination really does leave my good old disc copy of the game at fault. Although it's worked for years I can only assume that some kinda degredation of the data on it has happened rendering it useless really.

Me not being one to give up on a game I so dearly love in all honesty and I've played for quite a few years now I purchased it again on the Slitherine store and through in GoT for good measure.

All working no problem now apart from the extra few quid out of pocket I am for buying the game again which I don't mind because I do like yourselves at Slitherine.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to combine the 2 games and I'm golden.
