1. Gangsters 2 Free

Playable on Windows 10

GameRanger is the best way to play Gangsters 2. I used to play Gangsters 2 with my friends. If anybody would play with us, please e-mail me and we will see on GameRanger. Yea man am still. Due to popular request, after our how to be ninja 2.0 remake, we decided to continue the trend! Watch How To Be Ninja 2.0 here: https://www.youtub.

I am using the version of Gangsters Organized Crime from GOG.

Problem

The problem with Gangsters Organized Crime is that when the game starts on Windows 10 all the buttons are blank.

Solution

After some troubleshooting I was able to figure out that DDrawCompat was able to partially fix this issue. It was able to restore the text to the buttons however there were still a few problems. First of all 'gangsters.exe' only loaded the system 'ddraw.dll' and I was unable to get it to load the local 'ddraw.dll'. After running Process Monitor I found out that 'dsound.dll' could be used for this if I hooked the 'ddraw.dll' API's. However, a second problem was that DDrawCompat only hooked the DirectDrawCreate and DirectDrawCreateEx API's but for Gangsters Organized Crime the DllGetClassObject API needed to be hooked also (see this thread for more details).

The third problem was that all the other the text on the game (besides the button text) was black, which meant that it blended into the background and was almost undecipherable. For this I had to make some changes in the Fullscreen option of DxWrapper to refresh the screen each time a new page was loaded (see this code change here).

After applying these fixes the game works pretty good on Windows 10. There are a couple of minor issues, such as: 1) the screen will flash briefly after switching pages, 2) during the configuration of the game the scroll bars remain fixed in place and don't refresh after their value changes and 3) the courser icon looks too large when using display custom scaling options (see Menu misalignment on G:OC fix #4). I may look into fixing these issues later.
