How to play 2025: Battle for Fatherland Windows

Notes:

  • This game was released only in Russia and only in Russian, but an unofficial text translation into English is available. To install it, follow the instructions in the archive
  • Also, there is a small performance fix in the archive, because the game was very unoptimized and buggy
  • The game was using SecuROM DRM protection, but the version we uploaded on our website includes NoCD already, and doesn't require the disc for launch. However, after you install the game we recommend to use NoCD by KRBDZSKL, because it has the better performance and the game loads faster. That NoCD showed some generic warnings on VirusTotal scan because the file has no signature, but it is safe to use, nothing to worry about; here's the scan report

Alright, there are two possibilities: native 1080p or dgvoodoo.

DgVoodoo:
You only need D3D9.dll. You can set it to run in 1920*1080, but the image will be stretched, and part of the aiming reticle will be in the wrong position - it would need an aspect ratio fix.

Native 1080:
Open regedit, find Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\QuantGames\2025\Graphics --
Refresh: 60
Height: 1080
Width: 1920
Vsync: 1

Then start the game. This resolution seems to work, the aspect ratio is correct, however the main menu is cropped, and the HUD elements are a bit too big. It's serviceable, you can start a new game/continue the game from this menu as well. Exiting is not possible, use Alt + Tab, then Windows + Tab, drag the game to a new desktop, then end the game from the task manager. Use quicksaves often so you could use the continue button in the main menu.

You can also edit the FOV in regedit, just find:
Graphics\HorizontalFOV and change it to 90.

The best way to do it after a clean install: use the NoCD, use the patch/english translation, set up everything in settings (DO NOT touch resolution and refresh rate), exit, set up things in regedit, then start the game.

Unless someone comes up with a proper widescreen/aspect ratio fix, this is the only way of playing it in 1920*1080.

If you change the resolution or refresh rate from the options menu, the game will not start the second time. It will display a DirectX error.

If that happens, open regedit, find Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\QuantGames\2025\Graphics --
Refresh: 60
Height: 768
Width:1024

Then the game will start again. DgVoodoo doesn't work properly, I'm working on a solution.

So nobody else is getting the direcr3d error 0x8876086a? I tried it in a different PC and this also happens after I rebbot. Looks like I have to beat the game in one run.

This game officially takes place in the past now.

Got it working for a bit, seemed to stop working after I monkeyed with the resolution. Tried deleting the files because the launcher seemed unresponsive, now I can't reinstall because the launcher thinks the game's already installed.

I keep getting a message about the wrong disc being inserted or Heavy Duty not working. I guess I'm not tech savy enough. Any suggestions?

Commenter 2025-10-13 1 point

This is actually what 2025 looks like.

renro 2025-09-09 1 point

I guess that 2025.dll is just way to bypass securom.

otherwise, you can just delete that dll and use that NOCD.

Seems like there's nothing to worry about, actually.

renro 2025-09-02 0 point

the ISO file contains suspicious file.

Was there any malware check done on this ISO file?

RiptoR 2025-06-03 0 point

Game works fine the first time I open it, but then everytime I try to play I get direcr3d error 0x8876086a

Mr_Tadm 2025-03-15 0 point

it should work but it needed CD it should be cd-less bro what its this game?!

SirDoge27 2025-02-12 0 point

Can't find a way to get the resolution above the game's default selections,DgVodoo causes major glitches,and the fps is extremely low in fights,like 1-2 fps.
