Bumping this one as I'm having the exact same issue as the fellow above. Running in Windows 10, go to run the newest version, and no dice. So far I've tried running the game in compatibility mode, adding the .cfg file to the \users\ directory, and running the FixIt DLL checker (which apparently isn't compatible with windows 10
). As far as I can tell, cogmind.exe isn't even showing up in the processes in task manager, freezes explorer when I try to run it, and windows displays an error message about cogmind if I try to shut down after running it. The first time I tried running it, it warned me that it was an unknown file and prevented it from running unless I disabled whatever security measure, so that could be another sticking poing.
Very frustrating, as it worked great under 7 and I love the game. Let me know if there's any other things you might want me to try!
