Windows 10 have some problems running this game, some ideas how to fix that below (still won't fix problem for everyone):

  • First of all, run configure.exe, try to run the game before you edit game.cfg manually
    • Setting resolution above 2048x2048 will crash the game on start
      • This can be fixed with skScreen StuntKit module
  • The game won't run without administrator privileges if it was installed to Program Files
    • Game installer by default suggests using C:\Team17\SGP and it's working reliably
  • Game might not start if there are spaced in the path
    • if your folder name has spaces in it you could try editing game.cfg GAMELOCATION = <your path> to GAMELOCATION = .
  • use dgVoodoo nGlide and the game in Glide mode
    • You can run nGlide configurator to configure some options
      • set Video backend to DirectX if you wish to use it with DXWnd for playing in window
    • Run Stunt GP config and change Rendering from DirectX to Glide
  • It might not start with gamepad or driving wheel connected under specific conditions
  • Update DirectX?
  • Enable DirectPlay (and hopefully DirectDraw)
    • Win+R, type in appwiz.cpl to enter Programs and Features
    • There should be DirectPlay under something like "older version features"
  • Win+R, type in dxdiag and check on screen tab if DirectDraw acceleration is on
  • When in doubt, https://stackoverflow.com/a/43323140/14059174 and search for StuntGP_D3D.exe/StuntGP_Glide.exe
  • If the game loads but you can't exit to main menu or some weird things happen check if you have folders save\card00 to save\card07 present inside SGP folder
