After being a dedicated CFS2 flyer and SOH follower twenty years ago I lapsed when I found that my new computer and/or PC wouldn't display the prog. I recently discovered that my latest PC with Windows 11 has no problem. I wonder how many others have been through the same experience.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ
Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.
We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.
Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION
Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired
The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Welcome back, we are pleased to have you with us again. 
Welcome back! Yes quite a few have had problems, Lucky much smarter people have made drop in .dlls (DDrawCompat, DxWrapper or dgVoodoo 2) that make older games like CFS2 work on modern OSes like Win10 and 11.
Link is to my post about fixes and other CFS2 things.
Also if CFS2 is working right of the box and you do have the Enable Hardware Acceleration option that works can I get your CPU and GPU? It is nice to have so we all know what hardware works and doesn't work for CFS2. If the Enable Hardware Acceleration is grayed out you may want to try DDrawCompat, DxWrapper or dgVoodoo 2 that can fix that.

Windows 10/11 snafu / content thread
Hi simfreek, this is my opinion (but who am I ??): If you can afford still playing everything on your Win 8.1 and keep your WinX cd in stock, do so. CFS2 and 3 do play well in WinX, but a lot depends on your graphic card and the possibility to play in 32bit mode, though the ddraw.dll helps a...
