I Can't Load Up My Maps In World Builder

Let me start off by saying that I am experienced with world builder. I have been using this software for over a decade (probably closer to 2 decades) and I already have several maps on the workshop.

The problem started a few days ago when I built a new PC and installed a new copy of Windows 10. When I start up world builder, I CAN build a map from scratch and save the file; but, if I close world builder and try to reload the map, world builder just freezes. I've tried to load up several old maps, that I know work, and the same thing happens. Any time I try to load any map it freezes. I've tried changing compatibility options, modifying user accounts, full delete and reinstall of the game, and verified over and over that the files are in the correct locations.

I had Windows 10 on my previous PC and it ran fine. I was right in the middle of making a new map (on my old PC) and now it just suddenly doesn't work on the exact same operating system. Is anybody else having this issue?

I don't know if my advice could help in your case, but I had similar problem: I've switched from nVidia card to high end AMD, and I couldn't open map anymore. After month of attempts solve it, I've finally found culprit. I've only renamed spDx10.dll to spDx10.dll.backup (effectively disabling DX10) and from that time everything works again with Worldbuilder (file is in game folder). ♥♥♥♥ this is my favorite game, and I am afraid one time it will stop work simply because nobody updates it anymore.

HELL YEAH, IT WORKED! Thank you so much for sharing this with me? Might get back to making some new maps now.
