Yesterday i ran windows update 2026-06 Security Update (KB5094126) (26200.8655)
Today Strike Fighters 2 wont run, either a mod folder or a unmolested SF2 folder wont run.
Run as Admin, Compatability up to Windows 7, Exclusion Folder, Ini Changes did not fix it.
You may get to the Menu and try to run a mission but the game will crash and close.
I was close to re-installing the game or atleast grabbing a new GroundObject.DLL but i saw Windows Smart App pop up for a milisecond.
Turn it off and viola. Game's working again.
Something about this new Windows Feature breaks the game.
IF your game is suddenly crashing with the same error Just turn off this Feature.
I got SF2 to run on Robolinux and Pop OS with a 1070 before with some graphical glitches. Im kinda itching to try it once again.
