Nope still hangs
APCD on Windows 11
Re: APCD on Windows 11
Another quick thing to test that might be worth trying - launching the game from LinksLauncher instead of LinksMMIII.
This is from your new Win 11 system, right?

Glenn,
On both my Win10 and Win11 machines I run Links with the compatibility mode unchecked.
Might be worth a try.

Re: APCD on Windows 11
Never tried that, let me see if that works
Got to the Links Splash screen with the voodoo wrapper logo at the bottom then it freezes. A little more progress, thanks Ian

Re: APCD on Windows 11
I never could get voodoo to work smoothly with Links. Voodoo works like magic for other older games but not with me and Links. I vaguely remember installing DirectX 9 or activating it under Add Features to get Links to work on my Win 10 desktop.

Re: APCD on Windows 11
I used voodoo without any problems on my old computer, but now I can't get links running on my new Win 11 laptop. I may start from scratch over the weekend if I get a chance. I'm just happy the APCD is running ![Smile :smile:](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: APCD on Windows 11
Glenn,
This may be what linkster was referring to as it sometimes is a fix when Links just hangs while loading:
The forum post references Windows 10. I'm guessing there is a similar area in Windows 11 to enable legacy components. It's been a while since I loaded Links on this PC (Windows 10), but I just checked and I had to enable legacy components on it to get Links to run.
