[Gunforce6]

Got the graphics fixed, thanks a bunch for that, does anyone know how to play the game multiplayer over a LAN? I have been fiddling with the TCP/IP for a while now and havent had any luck

[WhisperGames]

2011 - Still works! TY!

[deepwaterDW]

setup doesnt open on windows 7 ;(

[OlaEli]

It worked great, thanks alot!

[jamezp1]

worked perfectly on windows 7 64 bit, thanks a bunch :D

[CelineSSauve]

I was pointed here by a friendly YouTuber. Not sure if it works on my system yet, but I'll certainly give it a go as my PC runs both Win7 and XP.

[TheMarine250789]

OMG thanks so much for this, it works ^^

But is that really the title screen? It looked way better in the demo.

[parvezlegacy]

thx dude its working

[laelprais]

Thanks dude! no really i loved this game as a kid(even though we only played the demo, lol), and it works fine on Windows 7 if anyone was wondering

[Wong3jo]

Thanks now its working :)

[1s4b3l14]

This worked perfectly, on Windows 7 64-bit too. This was one of my favourites when I was a kid. It's good to be able to play some of my older games every now and then.

Thanks muchly! ^^

[cmcody1989]

Dude you are awesome. Thx !

[studentesso]

Thanks! I had a different problem but with yout DLL the game works corectly!

[DieRespwnGameOn]

Thx! the DLL fixed the thing damn this game was awlays awesome one of my fav games from the days i became a gamer :D

[vivelecorn]

I play this game on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard... didn't need the .dll file. I used the application "Crossover" to open the game and it works like a charm.

So for any of ya folks who run a Mac and wanted to know if it plays fine, yes it does.

[sundanzekid]

tyvm!

[technodrgriffin]

i just downloaded the game, this fixes it no problem, thanks buddy!

[psphackoOo]

my laptop shuts down when i play a game

[TheGoldenEvil]

Thank's !

[outlawstar15a2]

Anybody know why some options in the skirmish screen is grayed out? I can't change the number of AI players nor their factions.

[Dukenukem155]

Only online or network game play, AI can only be 1

[ItalianoMatt]

Nice and easy fix! Thanks, man!

[kassem435]

i have vista home edition would that work i also forgot to tell i have 32-bit??? please reply

[outlawstar15a2]

I have Vista Home Premium, I downloaded and inserted his file works like a charm. I just wish I could slow the game down a little. LOL.

[kassem435]

me 2 i have vista premium my bad not home basic hehe

[nany8220]

Thanks a lot!!!! It really works...but now I need to buy an older computer which is slower...mine is too fast and I'm playing/watching everything in the speed light :))

[potatisi]

Do you have a multi-core processor?

Use Task Manager (ctrl+alt+delete) to make legion.exe use only one processor/core.

[nany8220]

Tnx dude for sharing that...I didn't know till now how to do that. I'm such a noob! :)

[HanoiTower]

My man, you are a friggin' genius. So nice to see this kind of "gamer-altruism" these days

[Mickekick]

Thank you for fixing this for me <3 do you also happen to know where to get the full version? only got the demo :(

[samuraimugen65]

Thanks greatly my friend, this is one of my favorite games from my younger years but the video was off just like you showed, but now I can play it all I want. Great program!!!

[Maxa12]

[Vegik]

[Deeem2031]

[wand222]

[wand222]

[GauchoFrAnCo]

[abc11hk]

thanks a lot

7th legion is one of my favourate games

[Davidw5748]

It worked! Thanks man, I was afraid I would never get to play this game again!

I have Vista, and I have had nothing but trouble getting ANY old games to work. I tried 7th Legion, had the exact problem you showed. Tried compatability mode, even tried running in dosbox (don't bother, it won't even attempt to run it), and nothing worked until I found this. :)

[makka432]

Thanks alot for this :D

[conso100]

i have vista and i can't get it to work whats the site that i need to go to to fix it because i can't read what you went on

[BleedItOutSingle]

at my computer ive installed 7th legion but it doesnt start. i have tried on windows xp and vista but it doesnt work

[BleedItOutSingle]

and yea i have tried already all compatibilty options

[uglypinkmoose]

my comp doesnt allow me to save the file into the legion folder it says i dont have permission :(

[Keyyseer]

I lol'd

[Keyyseer]

I lol'd

[uglypinkmoose]

when i go to that link it doesnt have the file that you need to download

it says i need to search the web

[lobsidedballs]

k i need some help

[Lordes48]

Thank you. I have downloaded the DDRAW.dll from your site. Previously I have mistyped the link. An advise for everybody please use only the DDRAW.dll from Deeem2031´s site. Other sources will give an error. Note that Deeem contains 3 pieces of "e". Danke für deine Hilfe.

[BalladSoldier]

Thnx man thnx alot it works now.

Thanke shunn

(i dunno if i spelld id i good im not german)

But thnx :D

[raycool]

That really works!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUU

[sauli999]

Does this work on vista? i remember playing this games demo when i was kid, id like to try it again :)

[bjurcec]

I had the same problem, but i fixed it differently (in Windows XP). Right click on the icon/properties/compatibility and then check the box "run in 256 colors".

[fisk0]

Have you tried reducing the hardware acceleration settings? I've lost my copy of 7th Legion, so I can't test it there, but had this kind of problems with Destruction Derby 2 and Shogo, which where fixed by disabling/reducing video hardware acceleration at the control panel.

[MechagirlSachiko]

In fact, it flickers pretty often. Am I doing something wrong?

[MechagirlSachiko]

Hmm... The game now goes correctly, except for the aforementioned background videos, and the fact that the screen annoyingly flickers from time to time...

[Caltor]

NVM!!

[Caltor]

I cant read the URL?

[Deeem2031]

Something wrong with the link? Here it works.

Btw. i never noticed speed issues ingame, only the background videos in the menu are too fast.

[Metrallica91]

Hey This Game Was Great.. It Still Great! I Want To PLay This Game Again.. Can Someone Give True Link For Me Ha?

[NaotaSan]

wooow many thanks... but the game is very fast

[ShadowFlare]

Praise be to you for sorting out that problem

[KelarGridal]

Great job! I completed this game when I was 11 and now 10 years later without playing it i've done it again. Tryed it a while ago on my old computer and the graphics error just annoyed me, thanks for giving me a hell of alot of flash backs and this awesome game.

[Deeem2031]

I really tried to find the problem but neither my version of the Legion.exe nor my DDRAW.dll uses "makecriticalsectionglobal". It could be that there are differences between the "Legion.exe"s in the different languages which produce the problem. I use a german game version, so if u have another language you may send me the legion.exe via email (webmaster(at)deeem2031(dot)de­).

[Deeem2031]

I searched a bit in inet for makecriticalsectionglobal and the solution i found was that your d3d9.dll (in Windows\System32) is too old and cause this problem. I dont know if this really works but they wrote you have to replace it with a newer d3d9.dll or delete it and reinstall directx9.

[ihscowboy]

I ve downloaded dll file but when I try to run the game it says the procedure entry point make criticalsectionglobal could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. so what should I do

[N3UR0]

Hey man! thank you for this! I played demo of 7th Legion years ago and few days ago i just remember this game. But have this problem. That dll solve it and i have Vista. Iam going finally to play this :)

[klaklakl]

i got starcraft 1,brood war and starcraft2..

it do own

[Dukenukem155]

Nope i tried it and dosent work unless u have alternative way?

[Dukenukem155]

7th legion sux, was going comeout for n64 but starcraft owned lol, anyways when i tried dl and put the ddraw.dll onto the folder it says some file not found in kernel 32, im going try again though

[klaklakl]

i doing the exatly what u are doing it but i wont work. maybe im doing wrong but.. should i load that file into the 7th legion cd??

[Deeem2031]

No, all you have to do is to save the ddraw.dll (do -not- rename the file) into the 7th legion main directory on your hdd (where the "legion.exe" is), this should fix the problem.

Btw. I use Windows XP - this is only a Vista-skin - I never tried this under Vista.
