I did it and it works, I don't know why but the developer did it for Windows 8 instead of 10 but it's not for me to ask, the important thing is that it works
I didn't do it for Windows 8. Something with the API past 8 is causing issues with the game. I'm not sure what it is, because I've tested it with my Windows 11 PC and it works perfectly fine without compatibility mode. It seems to be random on who has the issues and who doesn't. I haven't been able to figure out the cause, so I haven't been able to re-create it or fix it.
