Midtown Madness doesn’t start on Windows 10

Hello,

I’ve installed Midtown Madness 2 on Windows 10 but unfortunately it doesn’t start. There is no error message and I see no process for it in task manager (or maybe the process is there for a second only, I don’t know).

I’ve searched for a solution here already but didn’t find something which matches my problem.

I try to start the game as administrator and in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 3. (I’ve also tried other Windows versions, but no one worked). I’ve also downladed that dgVoodoo stuff and copied the 3 DLLs into the folder of MM2. But I couldn’t follow the guide for that completely, of course. There stood something like «start the game and set dgVoodoo as graphics card» — this I cannot do because the game doesn’t start at all. So dgVoodo for me is no solution, too.

I’ve also installed three patches — one official patch for Windows XP, a speedboot patch and one patch for a heap problem (I found this advice here in the forum), but it didn’t work, too. MM2 still doesn’t start.

Has anyone an idea what I could do to make MM2 start?

Kind regards,
Garfield

Hello Michael,

thanks for your answer!

I don’t have enabled any legacy components. Maybe they are activated by default. I have bought my laptop with preinstalled Windows 10.

Up to now I couldn’t find how I can check or change that. I have Windows 10 Home — are the legacy components available with that version?

Which of that components could cause problems for MM2?

Kind regards,
Garfield

Hello DjDecibel,

I changed only one option in dgVoodoo: I set the VRAM value to 128 MB. All other options I let unchanged.

But because MM2 doesn’t start (and with this I really mean that I cannot see not even any configuration or start screen) I cannot configure dgVoodoo as graphics card for MM2. So dgVoodoo is not used by MM2 currently, and as long as the game doesn’t start I cannot change this. So I think that configuration of dgVoodoo should be not the problem now.

Kind regards,
Garfield

Here what the_most_wanted said

“Just follow these steps:

1. Go to Control Panel > Programs.

2. Click on «Turn Windows features on or off»

3. Scroll down and mark on «Legacy Components» then hit «OK»

I hope that helped.”

Hello Michael,

o.k., I found that menue. Under «Legacy Components» there is one point only: «Direct Play». It was activated. I’ve deactivated it, but it makes no difference. Midtown Madness 2 doesn’t start, no matter if Direct Play is active or not.

Kind regard,
Garfield

P.S.: I found a trial version of MM2. This version is running. It runs with lags sometimes, but it runs. I’ve deinstalled my full version and installed it once again — but it still doesn’t start.

Hello DjDecibel,

I think, value  «dgvodoo Virtual 3D accelerated Card» is the default value for parameter Videocard. It’s already set in my dgVoodoo.

Maybe dgVoodoo would help to solve the problem with the lags in the trial version. But that trial version is restricted — you cannot drive everywhere, for example. I want to play the full version.

I assume that’s a problem with the EXE file. Maybe it’s damaged or something like that.

Kind regards,
Garfield

Try starting mm2 in safe mode, by double clicking the relevant .exe in the game directory.

Another thing you can try is, use a different version of «dgvoodoo», also make sure your anti-virus didn’t delete any .dll files when you extracted them, there should be 3 dll files (you need all files from the «MS» folder).

Description of Midtown Madness

Read Full Description

Midtown Madness is a fast and furious street-racer with an emphasis on dangerous high-speed racing through downtown traffic. Think some of the finer missions of the middle-period of the Grand Theft Auto series but without the story.

Midtown Madness has big and colorful environments with impressive, for its time, textures, graphics, and draw distances. You have a choice of several vehicles, ranging from hotrods to city buses. Each vehicle has a unique feel to it in terms of speed and handling and, importantly, survivability. For instance, the hotrod handles well, has great acceleration, and bursts into flames [not literally] after just a few dings. The bus, on the other hand, handles like, well, a bus, but it can plow its way through traffic with just a few dents to show for it.

The time trials are hard, but the races are insane. Vehicle durability is a considerable factor, as this is one of those racers where you’ll be shoving your way between cars at stop lights and taking out street lamps while still having a chance to win. Racer AIs, while predictable, are cutthroat and will take you out in a pileup rather than play it safe/smart. The time trials are a bit easier because the environmental traffic is scripted rather than reactive [a big difference from GTA]. Of course this leads to some weird scenarios where a car is scripted to swerve out of the way, assuming that you’ll be driving in into oncoming traffic, only to plow right into you when you stay in your lane. And expect to have plenty of cars turn left in front of you.

Pedestrians are reactive, and will dive out of the way when you get close; GTA sadists may be disappointed that you can’t actually squash anyone, but it’s a nice environmental touch.

While there are unlockables in Midtown Madness, the lack of a story or career mode might put some gamers off. And like many driving games, the lack of force-feedback means under and oversteering will almost always be an issue on courses that require high precision driving.

It’s a fun and pretty way to kill a few hours, but unless you’re a fan of racing games, or maybe even if you are, you’ll wish that there was just a little bit more once the novelty of crashing through downtown rust-belt cities has worn off.

Oldboy 1 point. Sage 0 point. Josh -1 point. Varying weather and time-of-day effects keep things interesting–especially the ultimate challenge of snowy nighttime races.

Midtown Madness’s wide open, race-wherever-you-want-to courses are its greatest strength. You’re not only encouraged to choose your own path between checkpoints, but you must also often do so to finish under the time limit.

You’re rewarded for your exploration in the form of alleyways and shopping-mall shortcuts, Blues Brothers -style. Cruise mode even lets you explore the city and wreak total havoc without any time limits. Graphically, Chicago never looked better.

Details include trash cans that spew garbage on impact, shadows from clouds floating overhead, and reflections on cars. However, the frame rate stutters in MM’s external views, and the cool effects negatively affect the games performance.

The thickly accented announcer and angry drivers sound nice, but the cops sound like they’re reading an eye chart instead of reading you your rights with emotionless quips like “I guess you weren’t feeling lucky, huh, punk? With its arcade goals and simulation physics.

Midtown can be frustrating–you have to drive recklessly to win, but it’s hard to finish the race wreckless. Thankfully, you can adjust the physics to make the game as arcadey as you want.

While the game desperately needs an instant replay feature, MM still satisfies with lots of car carnage–especially in multiplayer mode, which features a fun game of cops and robbers.

Midtown Madness is delightfully off the beaten track–it’s definitely an effective cure for traditional racers. Midtown Madness’s reflections, shadows, clouds, and smooth textures look nice, but they negatively affect the games performance. Your Midtown merriment will greatly depend on the quality of your video card.

The sterile soundtrack neither hurts nor helps, but the other drivers calling you a maniac is a sweet touch. Still, there’s no excuse for those boring.

While the sharp, almost too-responsive controls are totally adjustable for a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or gamepad, a force-feedback steering wheel is the only way to go. Midtown Madness offers a wild abandon and wanton disregard for traffic safety that no other driving game can provide. Hopefully, this trip through Chicago will be the first in a crosscountry tour. Welcome to Chicago. Angel Studios and Microsoft are teaming up to bring us the latest in the “Madness” series entitled Midtown Madness.

Choose one of ten different vehicles, ranging from the new Volkswagen Beetle to a Ford F to a Panoz GTR-1 to a city bus and all points in between, to compete in dozens of different races on 80km of accurately-rendered Chicago streets.

Midtown Madness takes place on the bustling streets, sidewalks, parks, baseball fields, drawbridges and hallways of downtown Chicago. After entering your name and selecting one of the 10 available vehicles and colors although some need to be unlocked first , you need to select one of the four types of races available. The Blitz is a quick race through multiple checkpoints to cross the finish line before time runs out. Checkpoint races give you as much time as you need, but you must be quick and creative to beat your opponents to the finish line by cruising through a series of scattered checkpoints across the city.

Not necessarily in the mood to race? As the name implies, this mode allows you to drive around the city at your own leisure and explore. Speaking of new cars, each vehicle has its different strengths and weaknesses literally depending on the type of race and weather conditions you decide to take on. Some vehicles, such as the roadster, will not be nearly as strong as the semi truck, but will race circles around most anything on the road.

Creativity is the key to winning. For instance, the quickest route from point A to B may actually be driving through the mall, a stadium, or the aquarium. Fortunately, there is an on-screen map that shows your current heading and location at any given time. Even if you have a hard time reading maps, there is a guide arrow at the top of the screen that will always point to the next objective.

If you are driving the New VW Beetle you will have fairly good handling, whereas the Ford Mustang Fastback has a very touchy feel by comparison. Each vehicle takes some practice to get used to and they all handle quite realistically. Much like real life, the weather will drastically affect driving conditions. I was very impressed with the graphics in this game. Each vehicle has its own accurately rendered dashboard complete with working gauges. The on-screen steering wheel also responds to your actions.

From pedestrians diving out of your way to trash, newspapers, and mail scattering around to airliners flying overhead, there is almost no lack in the detail department. The overall graphics are very bright which I think really adds to the game — especially these days with all the dark games that exist.

Midtown Madness Gameplay

In Blitz mode, you’re racing against time, navigating through three checkpoints to reach the finish line before the clock runs out. Circuit mode is more traditional, with race tracks that cut through a section of the city, pitting you against other racers. Checkpoint mode ups the ante by combining elements of both Blitz and Circuit modes, adding the challenge of city traffic, police cars, and pedestrians into the mix.

Vehicles and Customization

Starting with five vehicles, Midtown Madness provides various options, from compact cars to massive trucks. Vehicles include the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford F-350, city buses, and a Freightliner Century truck. As you progress through the game and complete missions, you’ll unlock additional vehicles with strengths and weaknesses.

The vehicles in Midtown Madness download for Windows 10 are more than just eye candy—they have unique handling characteristics that affect gameplay. Some vehicles are faster but more prone to damage, while others are slower but can take more hits. This variety encourages players to experiment with different cars and find the one that best suits their racing style.

City Environment

One of the standout features of Midtown Madness download for Windows 11 is its meticulously crafted city environment. The game’s version of Chicago has recognizable landmarks and bustling streets. The city feels alive and vibrant, from the towering Willis Tower to the historic Wrigley Field, adding a layer of realism that enhances the overall experience.

The streets of Chicago aren’t just for show—they’re filled with obstacles like traffic lights, mailboxes, and trash bins, all of which can be crashed into. This destructible environment adds a fun and chaotic element to the races, making every drive through the city an adventure. The detailed city map is not just a backdrop; it plays an integral role in the gameplay, guiding players through the complex maze of streets and helping them navigate the challenges of each mode.

Midtown Madness Multiplayer Mode

While the single-player modes in Midtown Madness multiplayer free download are fun, the game truly shines in its multiplayer mode. Initially supported by Microsoft’s MSN Gaming Zone, Midtown Madness allows players to compete against each other via LAN, the Internet, or serial cable connection. Although MSN Gaming Zone has been retired, the game is still supported by services like GameSpy Arcade and XFire.

The multiplayer mode includes a variety of game types, the most popular being the Cops and Robbers mode. In this capture-the-flag-style game, players are divided into two teams—Cops and Robbers.

This mode adds a layer of strategy and teamwork to the game, making it a player favorite.

Damage and Repairs

In Midtown Madness free download, collisions aren’t just a cosmetic detail—they have real consequences. Vehicles can accrue damage over time, and if the damage becomes too severe, the vehicle may be disabled, leading to failure in Blitz or Checkpoint races. In-circuit and Cruise modes, damaged vehicles can still be restored, but this comes at the cost of precious seconds, which could be the difference between victory and defeat.

This damaged system adds a layer of challenge to the game, forcing players to balance speed with caution. It’s not just about racing to the finish line—it’s about making it there in one piece.

Conclusion

Midtown Madness remains a beloved classic in the racing game genre. Its combination of diverse gameplay modes, a dynamic and interactive city environment, and a robust multiplayer mode ensures that it delivers something for everyone. So, if you’re ready to take on the streets of Chicago, grab your copy and hit the gas!
