Retail version not working on Windows 8 and later[edit]

American Conquest Fight Back Patch Windows 10

The retail version doesn't work properly on Windows 8 and later.[3][citation needed] Digital versions do not have this problem (see Availability).

Issues fixed[edit]

Game running too fast[edit]

Running too fast[4]
Like Cossacks, the other title from GSC Game World, American Conquest features a unique engine timing system. While the games' speed is still dependant on the CPU clock, like many older titles, they offer a flexible speed setting in the options menu to enable the user to tweak the speed to his liking.
To make the game more bearable, make sure to:
  • Go to the game settings.
  • Choose 'Slow Mode'
  • Decrease the 'Game speed' by approximately 10%.
  • Save the settings and go play the game.
If the game is still fast, grab ACClock or CPUGrab.[5][6] If the game reverts back to fast mode, press CTRL+D in-game.

Color issues[edit]

See Rainbow color problems in older games for solutions.

Game doesn't start[edit]

American
Game doesn't start[7]
If the game doesn't start:
  1. First try deleting the Video folder in the installation folder. Start the game.
  2. If you have one of the 8000 series nvidia graphics cards, or a similar ATI card, and are running Windows XP, download this ddraw.dll and again, place it in the installation folder. Also be sure you've deleted the Video folder as in step 1. Try starting the game again.
  3. If you are running Vista or Windows 7, download dmcr.zip and extract the DMCR.exe into the folder. Try starting the game again. If this doesn't work, and you also have the ddraw.dll in the installation folder from step 2, delete ddraw.dll, and try starting the game again.
    • Antivirus software may think this is a virus, but it assuredly is not.

0% progress in LAN[edit]

LAN loading time[citation needed]
This sometimes happens on Windows XP when with 3 or more players on LAN. Note that this is a workaround for this and not an actual fix.
  • Start your multiplayer game as usual, let all players select their nations, and then click the 'Ready' button. Now choose the game settings.
  • You will see it still sits on 0% or starts going up very, very slowly, don't panic, press Alt+Tab to go to desktop, wait a second and then go back in the game and you will see it has progressed, again Alt+Tab out of the game, wait a second and go back into the game, again it will have progressed.
  • Keep doing this until it reaches 100%, then click begin game and there you have it! It can take around 4-5 minutes, sometimes you can stay on desktop for a couple of minutes and then go back into game if it hasn't progressed.

Mouse doesn't work[edit]

Mouse doesn't work[citation needed]
This kind of issue manifests itself on laptops using Intel Core i3/i5/i7 CPUs, and Nvidia GPUs through Optimus technology. A workaround is possible, though not guaranteed to work.
  • Try fixing this with this tutorial originally intended for Red Alert 2.

Other information[edit]

AI Pack[edit]

An attempt to improve AI in the game for England, France, Spain, USA, Maya and Iroquois. The main work is on larger city with higher population for a more satisfied battle after a long peacetime. It is only for land battle - the water AI was untouched.
May break AI in multiplayer games.
