used reshade and dgVoodoo 2 to play around with some settings (especially 1080p and full screen) found 1 mod on moddb for better textures, had fun playing it for a week or 2

Looks like installing and so on is quite problematic... :( Any chance for a RIP version? That should end all problems, and would take less space.

Does anyone know what settings to choose in dxwnd? I want it to run smoothly, but I can't find a patch anywhere right now, and I don't even know where to buy the original game.

Updated instructions with my experience and previous comments 01/18/2026 1. Download ISO Version. 2. Mount downloaded file using a program OR Win11 is built in so just double click it and it will mount as a DVD drive. 3. Open “DVD Drive” file location once it is downloaded 4. Click Setup executable! Very important or patch program will not be able to find location(you will decide where to put the game at this point.) 5. Download Patch and Click to execute the patch(built in manager program) 6. Download NOCD Version. Open in file explorer. 7. In a second file explorer window open Gangland game folder(likely in local disk Program Files(x86) GangLand) 8. Delete the original “Gangland” file inside Gangland game folder. 9. Move NOCD gangland file into the original game folder. (replacing old executable with new NOCD) 10. Inside the game directory go to config folder, click on the system file, CHANGE only after "renderers\" and paste this rendererd3d.dll

1. Download the ISO version, mount it with a program (y used winCdemu, but aparently win11 aslo has a built in image mount, nice) let it install, 2. Donwload and then run the 1.4 patch. 3. Download the NOCD version for the patch, copy the archive and replace the one in the game directory (inside mediamobster folder is the gangland folder). 4. BEFORE RUNNING THE GAME IMPORTANT, inside the game directory go to config folder, click on the system file, CHANGE only after "renderers\" and paste this rendererd3d.dll 5. now the game should work enjoy. BONUS: click on your character first and then you move with right click, it controls like age of empires lmao I lost 5 min trying to figure this out.

Obtenir un installateur d'image (Daemon Tools) pour le fichier ISO. Télécharger le patch. Télécharger la version "NOCD" correcte: Localisez et téléchargez l'executable spécifique "NOCD For Version 1.4". Appliquer le patch: Exécutez le patch et suivez les instructions à l'écran. Remplacer l'executable: Après avoir appliqué le patch, remplacez le fichier gangland.exe original avec le fichier "NOCD For Version 1.4" téléchargé. Lancer le jeu: Essayez de lancer le jeu soit via l'autorun de l'ISO ou en cliquant directement sur l'executable principal.

This is an install guide with the 1.4 patch.
Get an image installer (daemon tools) for the ISO file, download the patch, and the "NOCD For Version 1.4." After you have mounted the ISO file run the setup and pick a location where you would like to have the game installed. Once done, run the 1.4 patch and once that is complete, replace the gangland.exe with the "NOCD" gangland.exe and the game should run now.

I guess i missed something somewhere... will chime in again once i figured out what i was doing wrong
Hey! i had the same issue i down loaded the patch unsure if it worked or not lel , but main thing i needed to swap the exe with another i did the no cd ver 1.4 located farther down this screen and it worked, and just checked the main screen by pushing the ~ key and it does say its 1.4 hope this helps any who come around to play this again :) and here i thought i was the only one looking for this game again after gog got rid of it
