Help needed with Windows 11 compatibility - Laza - 04-25-2026

Hi

Got a new PC a couple of weeks and haven't been able to get CS working.
Had just a blank screen when entering a scenario.
Did x86 download and now the screen shows corrupted images of the menu

Any help appreciated


cheers Loz

Make sure you have the 2.05 UPDATE installed

And install this

Any chance you could share your system specs?

Try running it in compatibility mode for WIN7 and in settings use legacy display ICC color management.  A lot depends on your PC and graphics card.

Looks like this person had the same or similar issue?

Well, Jason, I was already in contact with support and they insisted on updating my intel graphic drivers which, with help of installing intel assistant, finally worked and... after that it worked.

Support also told me that this (old) game (which I knew form earlier days) only worked on intel graphic driver and that came for me as a big surprise.... I have a pretty powerfull gaming laptop with a top nodge nvidia graphics card and then this game won't work? Well, well....

So I told support that maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell potential customers that updating graphic card from Intel is vital if you want to avoid trouble with this game.

To be on the positive side, it learned new things about computers and that is never a bad thing.

Oh yes, I forgot: the game works fine now and it feels like a trip down memory lane....
