Desert Storm 1 - 1080p 60FPS - Fix for super sonic speed and characters floating in air

How to run game at 60FPS and thus fix the super sonic speed and characters floating in air bugs:
Nvidia Control Panel does not work on this game, so do not bother using Nvidia Control Panel for this game. Download the latest recommended version of Rivatuna (currently 7.3.1) where it says ‘Download Locations’ at https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download.html
Go on to RivaTuner – ‘Add’ – go to the .exe file of the game which is called ‘DesertStorm’ - DesertStorm.exe has now been added to the list – ‘DesertStorm.exe’ – ‘Framerate limit’ – type ‘60’ – turn off ‘On-Screen Display support’ – minimize RivaTuner

Go to the .exe file of the game which is called ‘DesertStorm’, *right click* – ‘Properties’ – ‘Compatibility’ – Untick the box where it says ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for:’

Open ‘Registry Editor’
For Windows 8 and above:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Pivotal Games\Conflict Desert Storm\Device Settings

For Windows 7 and below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Pivotal Games\Conflict Desert Storm\Device Settings
Include 'WOW6432Node' in the location for 64 bit PC's, remove it for 32 bit PC's

Vietnam - 1080p 60FPS - Fix for stuttering

Fix for stuttering (only works for Nvidia GPU's): RivaTuner does not work on this game, so do not bother using RivaTuner with this game. Download GeForce Experience and Nvidia Control Panel if you dont already have them installed, Nvidia Control Panel can only be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. Open GeForce Experience, click top left where it says 'Drivers' – download the latest Game Ready Driver – Right Click on your Desktop and select 'NVIDIA Control Panel' – 'Manage 3D settings' – change 'Vertical sync' to 'On' – change 'Max Frame Rate' to '60'. Make sure to set the Max Frame Rate to either 30 or 60 as the game will not work on any other frame rates.

Go to the .exe file of the game which is called ‘Vietnam’, *right click* – ‘Properties’ – ‘Compatibility’ – Untick the box where it says ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for:’

Open ‘Registry Editor’
For Windows 8 and above:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SCi Games\Conflict Vietnam\Device Settings

For Windows 7 and below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SCi Games\Conflict Vietnam\Device Settings
Include 'WOW6432Node' in the location for 64 bit PC's, remove it for 32 bit PC's

1080 worked for me on W10 by setting compatibility mode W7 and decimal value to 16. My monitor is different and wonky with resolutions sometimes as I'm using a 55in TV. Locking FPS at 30 also makes the game run more normal (60 was running still too quick)

@Sheik Yerbouti - I had the exact same issue. I did what Banana Duck said and deleted/reinstalled. Did not mess with resolution in pre-launch settings dialog. What finally fixed it was trying Decimal 19 instead of 37. It seems if your display is told a resolution larger than supported, it defaults the game back to 800x600 to prevent failed launch. Setting to 19 got the game in 1920x1080p for me. It may me slighly different for you, I see many forums where people are saying slightly different decimals worked for them so may require some playing around.

@Sheik Yerbouti - Its very strange that low values are reseting it because low values are less likely to reset it.
Some people have said that their value is roughly half of what it should be, these people have said that 19 gives them 1080p, so you could try decimal value 19, but you said that its always resetting no matter what value you put in, so im at a loss of what to suggest.
System settings can affect what decimal value you need, but drivers wont affect it

Deleted the key file, deleted the game, reinstalled, did my settings (Didn't touch resolution ofc), launched game, quit, did the resolution in regedit, launched game, reset. I did this process 3 times, before I deleted the folder from hkey current user, which only left the same results upon reinstalling the game. Could it be because any of my system settings or drivers??

@Sheik Yerbouti
TL;DR:
Step 1: Delete the game and delete the file which saves your settings in the Launcher (which is called 'current.key' which is in; Users\*your username*\Documents\SCi\DesertStorm, delete the file here which is called 'current.key')
Step 2: Reinstall the game.
Step 3: Open up Settings in the Launcher and set the settings to whatever you want to set them to except for resolution (you absolutely must not change the resolution as otherwise you will never be able to change your resolution again via the decimal value (unless you delete the game and current.key file ofcourse).
Step 4: Set your decimal value to 37 or whatever value you want to set it to.
Step 5: Play the game, do not open up Settings in the Launcher because it will reset your decimal value

Banana Duck ඞ [author] 5 Jun, 2024 @ 3:43pm

@Sheik Yerbouti - No you wouldnt see the custom resolution in the launcher, dont open up the Settings in the launcher because opening Settings in the launcher resets the decimal value. Because of this; you ofcourse need to set your settings in the launcher to whatever you want to set them to (except for the resolution obviously), and then you set the decimal value afterwards. And you should never change the resolution in the launcher because it messes it up, if you changed the resolution in the launcher; then set it back to the default resolution (which i think is like 480p?) or delete the game and its settings data in order to reset the resolution back to the default amount. The decimal value changes the resolution of one of the resolution options in the Launcher (it will still say 480p or whatever but its actually whatever resolution you have set as the decimal value), so like if you want 1080p: then set it to 480p.

Sheik Yerbouti 4 Jun, 2024 @ 4:55pm

Just tried it, still resetting everything.

Sheik Yerbouti 4 Jun, 2024 @ 4:50pm

Would I see the custom resolution in the launcher??
