Dominions on Windows 10

[Benjamin]

Hello dear Dominion fans !

I started to install the game with the original CD. Installation succesfully complete !

However when I click on "Play"  Error message : Cannot find the file Dominion.exe

However, the file DOES exist.

Got an Idea ?

Merci d'avance pour votre réponse,

Benjamin

You need to download Pre-installed Dominion 1.2 and virtual copy of CD1 and CD2. Then you will need to mount both of CD with some free program like Daemon Tools - this will allow you to start game with .exe file in Dominion's directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Ion Storm\Dominion).
Links for downloading:
Dominion 1.2 Pre-installed www.contemporaryvision.com/Dominion/Dominionpreinstalled12.zip
CD1 www.contemporaryvision.com/Dominion/Dominion1.zip
CD2 www.contemporaryvision.com/Dominion/Dominion2.zip
Daemon Tools lite www.daemon-tools.cc/downloads#install-dtLite-offer (Click "download" under DAEMON Tools Lite 10)

If you have any errors - try to turn on "compatibility mode" in Dominion.exe properties (try Windows 98)
If game complains that you have no support for 640x480 resolution - turn on "run in 640x480 screen resolution" on the "compatibility mode" page

Took me less than 10 minutes to download, to install everything and to start the game

Hi everyone ! Im just setup game on win 10 x64 but when I click on setup.exe it fails with '' this program requires windows NT 4.0 or service pack 3 higher '' Running setup.exe as an Administrator in Windows XP Compatibility Mode wont work what should I do ?

You not need to instal this game - you need to download a pre-installed version instead! This version contains all game files already installed so you just need to unpack it on your HDD.

Ok I followed you mentioned all steps, and I clicked .exe '' Interal program error Can't load plugin C: program.........\Dominion\netplay.r32 '' and I tried compatibility mode win 98 but I got no result so help

[blacknyasher]

Try "launch as administrator" on game .exe, and if not helped - try another compatibility modes, with Windows XP etc...
And check if you have this NETPLAY.R32 file in the game directory, maybe your Antivirus deleted it for no reason!

Downloaded the pre-installed 1.2. After some hassle i got it to run. Now, when i try to play campaign, i get the error "Unable to find scenario file: HUMAN01.SDC" Same with other races too. Files are copied directly from the link you provided above. I see the SDC files in the maps folder, and the CD image is mounted. I do own a physical copy of this game, but on my previous computer which auto updated to windows 10, the game would crash about 2 minutes into playing it. So Im trying this approach before trying the CD

Got it working. Wasn't running the game as Admin

I ran this game on 7 many times, now just won't work.
Tried everything mention here,
still no go just get to the intro scene with split screen then crashes studio 7 error.

Can you see the main menu screen, or it crashes before menu? I had crashes on mission start and solved it by changing screen resolution in options...
