This game is the sequel to Dungeon Keeper. It was Bullfrog Productions developed and Electronic Arts published this game. I have same issue.Dungeon Keeper 2 is an interesting strategy video game. GOG version was and still is unplayable for me due this. For example, old Half-Life 1 has such feature (but still running under OpenGL so no problem at all).Īs I said. However, there is no such option in Blood II. This problem can by bypassed by setting game to run with "RAW mouse input" data. This was later fixed for DX9++ games by Microsoft via KB update, but I am not sure how it is for old games. This mouse issue is related to mouse emulation and it's acceleration process established in Windows 8+8.1, formely known as "input LAG" for many modern games as well. Although I am not sure that this is what fixed it (as DirectPlay is for network) I can only suggest to uninstall this game and try to re-install via Steam. After buying Steam version the game installed "Microsoft DirectPlay" package and this issue stopped.
#DUNGEON KEEPER 2 HOW TO#
Does someone know how to fix this? I am on Windows 8.1 This was happening to me with the GOG version. The game does load everything correctly, but when I touch the mouse, the crosshair looks at the ground and starts spinning clockwise. Originally posted by Sherlock Van Helsing:After installing this fix, I have a very bad glitch. I don't have AMD so I can't tell for these. You will see.Īll this is tested for nVidia GPU. Feel free to test settings on your own, do some experiments.

It's also quite stable if no additional mods are used. It's not perfect, but at least the game is fluent now and does not move like chicken's head on caffeine.

This further tweaking is only optional for better look and feel. To be able to enter game video settings in-game again, first remove the fix off Blood II folder. You should change this (any way) before fix apply cuz with the fix you can't enter video settings in game. Tip: if you can't set resolution of Blood II game via launcher (the "Display." button) cuz it says something about DX6 missing error and so or in game cuz of crash, go to Blood II instal folder and modify "autoexec.cfg" - find these two rows and modify them like this: Disable other panels if any.ħ) Launch the game in Steam and enjoy even more.Ĩ) Is it possible to force antialiasing for this game via GPU settings without crash?
#DUNGEON KEEPER 2 ARCHIVE#
Dungeon Keeper 2 works like a charm again with this on 64bit OS.ġ) Set Blood II resolution to 1366 x 768 for 16:9 max to avoid crash.Ģ) Unpack 3 files off "wndmode.zip" archive to your Blood II instal folder next to "client.exe" file.ĥ) Open "wndmode.ini" in Blood II instal folder and set last value "Border" to "0" (Border=0)Ħ) Set your Windows OS resolution at main monitor to 1366 x 768 before launch.
#DUNGEON KEEPER 2 PATCH#
With this trick (and patch 1.1, without patch it still gives Fatal Error 5 or 9) you can run that game immediatelly (but in small window, this game has no resolution settings). This game is technically unplayable after XP on modern systems, with many Fatal Errors (4,5,8,9. Remember, you can use this trick to run games like 1997's "Dark Earth" for example. Share your experience - how it works for you? I believe this is the first working solution for this game in native environment, enjoy :) If you keep running more than 1 panel, crashes and issues will occure. If you have more than 1 display, use only your primary display and disable the rest. I have nVidia GPU so I can't tell for AMD, it seems this pays difference as well. This is how the game runs for me without fix:Ĭheck those videos at YouTube or in your browser, for some reason the quality is downgraded here in steam.
