Be aware: Windows 25H2 update started to roll out.
For now: most of the renderware games don't work. Again
This includes: Classics XXL and XXL 2 and Arthur and the Invisibles (from what I was able to test)
The situation looks to be quite similar to what was broken with 24H2 update: Libraries are missing, Windows shuts down app on start with an error code 0xc0000005

Either block the updates for a little while or stop A&O classics speedruns, unless solution is present

God I hate those updates

***A&O at the Olympic Games works perfectly fine.

Presumably OG still works because it's not using dsound, which is being torn apart.

XXL1/XXL2 seems to work on 21h2, are you sure you have all the needed dlls?

hello i ii am thano
.romannikolaev
funny enough, OG didn't worked in 24H2 too
hesopesomeso
Really???
.romannikolaev
yep. Without DSOAL - no bell

funny because sound-wise both XXL2 and OG suffer from the same audio bugs on PC, not present on PS2.

I just download this update and for me all games works with alchemy

Dunno if you used alchemy or that other .dll to fix it, but you can try alchemy fix

Narrowed down the issue: somehow it breaks on the laptop native 1080 screen but works on external 4K TV.
