#D3DWINDOWER ENGLISH VERSION PATCH#
OPTTEXT.ERR is created by the patch and opening it with NOTEPAD.EXE seems to reveal it adds the english text in the options menu (the new Hardware Acceleration option). I get the following error message, but the game seem to start anyway Įrror ept0025: Verify of New File Failed. In order to test the patch I have disrupted LL2-130E.EXE once unpacked, then deleted PATCH.BAT in order to experiment. LL2-130E.EXE unpacks itself into a couple of files called PATCH, then it run it's own internal PATCH.BAT that will first execute a PATCH.EXE, then delete all extracted files. LL2-130E.EXE refuses to run on 64-bit no matter what I did.
#D3DWINDOWER ENGLISH VERSION INSTALL#
You might wish to install the 1.30 patch to get 3d Acceleration.Ĭopy PATCH/LL2-130E.EXE to the same folder. This seems to reduce some of the crashes.
Select Windows NT (might also work with Windows 95 or 98) I am not sure if it works though.Ĭheck the box before "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" MIX files (all 4 CD's) to my game folder in attempt to make it run on Harddrive only. Create a textfile, rename it to LOLSETUP.INI and add this info Copy all files from CD1 inside the folders \INSTALL and \SETUP\INSTALL into your folder (about 39 files)ģ. The problems above still happens even if you use the real installer.Ģ. Considering the annoying installation utility you might prefer to do it manually. To bypass this you can either install the thing in DOSBox or VMWare/Virtual PC, but you can also do it manually. Installation doesn't seem to work with modern machines. The third image is taken from the introduction of the game. As you can see it looks ok internally, but output into garbled graphics. What follows is a screenshot taken with a camera, then one taken with a screenshot utility. If you turn off 3d acceleration for the menues the black boxes are less common but still common enough to be disturbing, however, if you do the menues and the ingame movies are garbled. If you run the game with it off ("No") and you notice graphics that have black filled squares around them, try switching this option to Yes". It allows the card to select a sixteen bit color format that many cards support, but very few require. This option is NOT RECOMMENDED unless your card requires it. The readme for the patch mentions black filled squares in the note on 4444 color (16-bit).
I found one with the same issue in this thread on another forum (), unfortunately it only debates piracy, but you can see some shots from the guy lower down. These boxes do not appear when not using 3d acceleration! I also use some nvidia enhancements also explained below. It seems transparency ceases to work all the time so objects usually end up with a black box around them. Simply running all three accelerations on you get a screenshot like what follows. The 3d uses Direct X 3.0, which had functions appearently removed in DX10/11. This is not entirely intuitive because when they are set as "No" 3d acceleration seem to be enabled and you can see the 3d cards texture filtering in effect.
The last two seem to correspond to values in options.ini called Acceleration_VGA_Automap & Acceleration_VGA_Movies.

In the settings you can select Acceleration, Bilinear Filtering, Use 4444 Color, Switch Movie Display and Switch Automap Display. There is a patch for the game (1.30) that adds hardware acceleration. I have also tested this in VMWare 7.0 with Windows XP 32bit, both with DirectX 9.0c and 8.1, still with the same result. (Running the game in windows without 3d acceleration or in DOSBox gives about the same result).įor information I have tested on 2 rigs, one laptop with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT and a regular computer with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX. In fact, it seems the game is currently unplayable with 3d Acceleration.

I have experimented with getting Lands of Lore II: Guardians of Destiny to run in 64-bit Windows 7 and it's not without hassle.
