Since the 24H2 update rollout for Windows 11, the Vision engine games (SH3, SHC2, SHW) have a tendency to throw the error message in the title upon startup. The Windows update has been reported to hinder many games from functioning properly, and Firefly has also confirmed that they are working on a possible fix.

January 13, 2025 Update:

Firefly Studios has rolled out an official patch for all three games, resolving the issue. Simply update your desired game through Steam's built-in updater to receive the changes. You can then re-enable full screen mode from the in-game options.

The workaround detailed originally should not be needed anymore. Should the update not resolve the issues, please contact Firefly's official support with the error.

In case of further questions or need for assistance, please directly message us!

    • Error 0xc0000022 while starting Stronghold Crusader on Windows 10

      Hey, guys! First of all, this is not a question, this is a solution. I believe this will be useful for many people.   I have installed Steam version of Stronghold Crusader on my new laptop which runs Windows 10. When I tried to start the game, it just wouldn't work. No error, no nothing. When I tried to run Stronghold Crusader from the Steam folder: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stronghold Crusader Extreme then I got the error code 0xc0000022. I tried with changing compatibility

    • Your experiences with Windows 10 and Stronghold games

      Hey, guys! I do realize I could have made this tread in Computer Support section, though I don't need support actually, so I assume this would be the right place. If not, Chris is going to move the tread, and I apologize in that case. :)   I meant to ask what are your experiences with Windows 10 and playing Stronghold games on it? I don't mean to start a tread about Windows 10 in general, though I have nothing against that of course, but this thing is the most important to me at the moment. Spea

      More and more users lately have been getting this error, especially on Windows 8/8.1. Rest assured however, that I feel I have finally found some kind of proper fix for this error. It only appears to occur on disk versions of the game.   There are two potential methods I am posting, the first is less drastic, and I recommend you start from here- though there is less chance of it working. The second, is the way in which I have fixed this error (at least for now) for myself.   The cause of this pr

    • Poll Error

      Just voted on one of the polls on the homepage and the text changed to the following:   The constant PANTHER_ROOT must be defined and point to a valid Panther installation root directory.     Thought I'd let you know :)     EDIT: Actually the same came up when trying to submit a file. It must be some navigation error.   Also, I can't change the title name, not sure if I'm meant to be able to or not.
