Hello, I have run into an issue with Divinity 2 that I was hoping I might get some help with. I am running Windows 8 (now 8.1). I purchased the Divinity 2 Developer's Cut through Gog.com. I was able to install it just fine and then boot it and play it. The next day, when I tred to boot the game it would not start. It got a pop up asking if I wanted to let Divinity 2 to make changes to my computer. If I say no, then it stops there. If I say yes (which I did the first time), then the screen does black like it is starting the game, then it flickers and I get a pop up saying that Divinity 2 has stopped working (A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available). This repeated each time I tried it. At first I thought this was a problem caused by Windows 8 upgrading to Windows 8.1, which my machine did that morning. This update caused some issues with Norton and my printer drivers as well. Like my printer drivers, I uninstalled Divinity 2 and reinstalled it. It then ran great and I thought the problem was solved. The next night (tonight), when I went to boot up Divinity 2, I got the same issue: screen briefly goes black, then flickers, and finally stops working. This is annoying to say the least. I saw similar issues to this on the forums here searching for Windows 8 in this forum and the Divinity 2 Flames of Vengeance forum, but nothing quite the same and no solutions for this. Still, I may have missed it. Are there recommended fixes to address this issue? I'm not sure what information you need or would be helpful, but here (behind the spoiler tag) is what came out via dxdiag for system, one of the display entries (the other is a different monitor with same card), and the diagnostics section at the end (it specifically calls out divinity2.exe). The actual file is longer, but I didn't want to clog things with too much text.

Did you try browsing to the ..\Divinity II - Developers Cut\bin folder and starting either the Divinity2.exe or Divinity2-debug.exe program files? You could try right clicking and running as administrator (that should bypass the making changes dialog, at least), or right click, select Properties, switch to the Compatibility tab and try a compatibility mode, etc. Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game? Something could be ok when the game is first run, but then after a restart decide it can 'optimize' something, or something needs to be blocked, etc. Alternately, something could be reset with the install, and updated after rebooting. Did you install the game somewhere other than the Program Files path? Browse to the folder below and rename the 'Profile' subfolder, to force the game to recreate the configuration files on startup. Alternately, you could try starting the game from a different Windows user account. C:\Users\ %username% \AppData\Local\Divinity 2\ You may need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders ( Win 8).

I did try both Divinity2.exe and Divinity2-debug.exe. They performed the same. I also tried running as administrator. What I didn't try (yes, I feel like a complete idiot for not), was compatibility mode. Running as compatible for Windows 7 appears to have done the trick.
The install path used was the default set by the gog installer: C:\GOG Games\Divinity 2 Developer's Cut. I usually trust the installers to know what they are doing when it comes to placing files.
Renaming the profile folder also had no effect.
However, as mentioned above, setting it compatibility mode for Windows 7 seems to have worked. If it doesn't prove long term stable (more than an hour), then I'll report back.
Thank you for the quick response and the help.
