GPW Windows 11 Error

[jono777]

Hi all.
I'm getting an error when launching the gaming.
Error is "Initialization failed this app will now close"
I am on Windows 11 22H2.

I have done a clean install of the game.
Then I updated it using GPW Editor following instructions from Old Analytics Youtube video titled Grand Prix World new content.
Also tried a modded version of the game (2020 mod by Old Analytics), I get the same error.

Please can anyone assist me.

Thank you

Iam handling with this game now for decades, but i never tried it with win 11. Iam OldAnalytics from youtube, so you followed my howto. Do you tried to start the modded version in compatibility mode?
i downloaded the last mod (2023) today - on win 10, i just started it on a fresh windows install. windows asked me to install "DirectPlay" for this. after that, it started without issues
