Gabriel Knight 2 Dosbox Dvd Installer

I just finished GK3 and wanted to pass along a couple of tweaks needed to get it going on Win XP. Fortunately I saved the info from a battle with XP a couple of years ago. I must say it took hours of searching forums to resolve these issues. So I will post these two solutions just in case somebody needs help to resolve them. Most likely many of you know this already. But it was not long ago when I would have chucked the whole operation when I encountered the first issue below and missed out on an incredible game. Unrecognized Fatal Exception Error You may get this one after install when you try to start the game.

You get the warning and the game will not start. Compatibility mode does nothing for you. The demon is a video codex file that tries to initiate upon startup and causes the failure.

The cure is rather simple. The file is located on your hard drive and its path is, C: windows system32 mpeg2dmx.ax You simply change its name. Left click on the file, select rename. Keep it simple change the.AX to.Old Your file name should now read MPEG2DMX.old The game should start without any problem.

Remember when you uninstall GK3 to go back and undo your name change. I had no issues with any program functions while the file was rendered unusable. Not sure what programs are dependent on this old codex but I did not come across any need for it. To be safe change it back when done. Flickering Screen I searched for quite awhile for info on this pain in the neck.

Found many people had the problem but no one had an answer. Well I actually figured it out myself, scary. Right click on any part of the game screen and a functions box pops up. Icons are there for several things including inventory and so on. Select Configuration options then Advanced Options then Graphics options You will see a box named 3D Driver it is set by default to Primary Display Driver click on the tab and change the setting to Software Renderer That eleminates the flickering screen.

Gabriel Knight 2 is a wonderful adventure. Windows XP/Vista compatible versions of. The problem is this torrent is the DVD.

Also while in graphics section you can slide the Gamma control to the right to brighten your screen. Mine was defaulted to a rather dark rendering. A few things I could not quite resolve were, Sometimes the game would freeze to a black screen when you use either the windows key or alt-tab. Not always just sometimes.

Save before utilizing either of those actions. The only way out is alt-tab-delete to restart and having to revert to the previous save. Also this effect occurs infrequently when you quit the game. This only happened to me when having CD #3 in the drive. Not sure what the cure for this is.

These tweaks resolved the issues on my system and require no technical knowhow to do. Hope this is useful for someone having trouble. Oldmariner, your information about GK3 is interesting but I wonder what percentage of WinXP users need to do any of these tweaks. I expect that any new hardware won't need the tweaks but systems that existed when this game was new could have been overloaded. On my WinXP Home SP2 system, I just installed the game without doing anything other than clicking on the Setup program (CD auto-run is turned off). The options within the game were used to obtain 1024x768 resolution and all other video and audio options were set to maximum. The game ran perfectly with none of the problems you've mentioned.

Can't say anything about disk3 problems as I've just started to replay the game. Also I'm using virtual CDs so everything is running from my hard drive. I don't know the answer to that question. My system is only a year old.

Dual core top of the range Intel processor. Don't remember the number 6700 I think.

It is an xps 410 with 7900gs Nvida card. So not ultra new and closer to the higher end than a low end entry level machine. Again it is machine specific, perhaps you don't have that mpeg codex on your machine.

Perhaps the flickering was a reaction to my Video card. Whatever, the default settings when I installed it the same way you did were all set toward the low end. Perhaps it is the version of the game. I have the Sierra Best Seller Series which was a reissue not dated. I speculate these issues are likely to vary machine to machine. These are just suggestions if someone has these conflicts. I am glad you did not have difficulty with your install.

I certainly cannot explain beyond speculation. Certainly it comes down to how each machine reacts but from reading forums I discovered there are many who confronted these problems.

The problem is this torrent is the DVD version while the application provided in the link is for the CDROM version. I also have W7 x64bit and this is what i did to get the game working.

Install the game with daemontools or whatever mounty type app you use ( I did full install). Download this file extract the contents and place it in your GK2 installation folder. Go to this site and download the DOSbox program if you dont already have it. Once you have installed DOSbox create a shortcut for it and place it on your desktop. In your GK2 installation folder one of those new files you extracted to it is called 'Conf.exe'. Click on it and setup your options.

I usually go GLopensource for graphics, fullscreen, smoothing and autolock off. Dont forget to save the file! Once saved you will get a new file appear in the GK2 folder called 'dosbox.conf' hold down shift and right click the file and choose 'copy to path' from the list.

Rightclick on the DOSbox shortcut you created and go to properties. Under the Shortcut tab where it says Target, at the end of the text thats already in the box type -conf (paste what you copied after this). My Target window reads 'C: Program Files (x86) DOSBox DOSBox.exe' -conf 'C: Program Files (x86) SIERRA GK2WIN dosbox.conf' And that is it!, Rename the dosbox shortcut, change the icon to whatever takes your fancy but this is your main exe for running GK2!

The game looks pretty tragic, im only playing it for 'storyline' purposes, i might just move onto number 3.we shall see. I liked the first game, not sure why they changed the style for the second, i think they might have been smoking something and got all 'innovative'.
