Game doesn't work on Windows 11

Post by midgard30 »

I don't know if there is still support for this game, but I recently upgraded my OS for windows 11 and the game doesn't work anymore. It seems the serial key is no more registered when using AGESettings.exe (in admin mode), the key field is always empty.

Thanks

You may do it manually, find the file General.opt. It is located in this folder:

"Wars in America\WIA\Settings"

Open it with a text editor like notepad.

Add the serial to the line:

Code: Select all

7. Serial number (unencrypted, keep this file for you only)
Serial           = 

Save and close.

It did work, but then I had an Access violation in WIA.exe. I did manage to solve the issue though.

This may concern only those using Windows 11 ARM (for MacBook M1), as it may be due to the ARM emulation and not Windows 11 per se. For information, I gave all access to folder "Wars in America" to my user and set ARM parameters as shown in the attached image.

Thanks for your help
