FIFA 06 and FIFA 07 not working properly on Windows 11

[cesarfabro96]

Hello. I need help. I have with me the PC versions of FIFA 06 and FIFA 07 (brazilian version) - both i have in disks and i got the ISOs. When i tried to run the games on Windows 11, both games don't boot, just crashes on start up. I tried the 4GB patch on No-CD executable, using the 1.1 patch, using dgVoodoo2, marking as Windows XP SP2/3 compatibility, but nothing. When i managed to find a better config on dgVoodoo, the game opened, but to enter on a pitch, the entire game crashes. Right now, idk what to do. Tried to find other solution somewhere else, even on PCGamingWiki - but nothing. Right now, i set up on emulator, but since i have the disks with me since i was a kid, i just wanted to try it out this versions. Is someone with this issue manage to make this games work on Windows 11?

Search Windows Features on start menu and go to Legacy Components and enable DirectPlay.

Some of the older games will not even boot otherwise.

Disable DgVoodoo for now and see if the game boots with these enabled first. If not, then use dxvk to wrap the dx8 api to vulkan.

I did, but no. Still doesn't work. DXVK and d3d8to9, none of that worked. Even turning Windows Defender off/put the FIFA06 folder on exceptions solved.

It's much more easier try to setup to separate disc (physical) Windows XP or Windows 7 and play in this old soccer games on appropriate operating system.

see if booting these games on window mode works first. I had issues running fifa 2002 and 2002 world cup on fullscreen on windows 10 and had to resort to non conventional solutions.
