Windows 11 Black Screen Crash Potential Fix
Posted: July 8th, 2026, 10:36 pm
Hey guys,
It's been a long time. This Windows 11 thing has been driving me nuts and I finally found something that fixed the game for me - it plays perfectly, doesn't require voodoo or any other wrappers. It was as simple as running the game like this
"C:\Users\markh\Programs\Links2003\LinksMMIII.exe" /gosnojoystick
This does remove any gamepad functionality but I doubt many people use a gamepad anyway.
Please give it a try and let me know if you have success.
