Hi,

It has come to our attention that unfortunately, the Commandos series will not run on Windows 10.

The reason for this is the lack of support for the older version of Direct X used by the game (Version 5)

While we continue to look for solutions to bring the Commandos series to more modern platforms, we unfortunately cannot offer any specific time frame for when this may occur due to engine's age.

As this is the case, we have two suggestions for anyone attempting to run the game in the Windows 10 environment:

1. Install a virtual machine such as VirtualBox or VMWare and run a virtual environment of Windows XP for improved compatibility. This is recommended but may not solve all issues.

2. If you have played the game for less than two hours, you can claim a refund via Steam.

We would like to begin with an apology for the problems that people have experienced with running Commandos on their computers.
We have faced difficulties with compatibility due to the age of the game.

Updates are now available for both Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty.

Working closely with the community, we have endeavoured to apply patches that will allow fans to play Commandos on their modern machines.

We continue, as always to listen to all community input and support for this game. It has been tremendously appreciated! We would like to thank you all!

We would like to extend a special thanks to 'LeFixyaGames' who has helped in this effort.
