Hello,
for everyone who had game crashes after a new installation of gp4 on Windows 10..
...i wrote a mini-tutorial:
1) Install Web Installer DirectX End-User Runtime
2) Browse in to "Control Panel/Programs/Turn On-Off Windows Features/Legacy Components/Direct Play and check the box
3) Install Grand Prix 4 in other path (no default >> C:\Program Files (x86) or (x64)). Example mine is in: C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\XPGames\Infogrames\Grand Prix 4
4) Install last GPxPatch. After installation, when you start it, check if in the "GPxPatch" main tab "CPU" value is 0.
5) Play the game!
**IMPORTANT**
- no needed "administrator" privileges on gp4.exe application
- no needed to check "compatibility" box
- after completed the installation, make a backup of the game folder (mine is XPGames) in your external usb/hdd. In this way, you can copy the game anywhere you want in other computers (no needed a new installation, follow 1st and 2nd step and just copy the game folder where you want!)
I hope I was helpful! ;)
