It's not a resolution issue causing the crashes for me, as the first load on 2. I had previously tried changing the cam. For the moment I will stick to 2. Last edited by Vestan Pance ; 26 Jun, am.

Posts: I'm still wondering about SS1, though Thats what dosbox is for. But does DosBox work in Vista? Vista is OK with games of the SS2 ilk as they do not require a very high version of directx.
The problem games so far seem to be the latest games, Prey took ages to install I had to first get round the installer not liking the windows version. Then you get a bug when you try and load it, it tries to copy the game engine DLL from a pack file.
It won't work due to the annoying change in admin rights you have admin rights but not administrator rights Manually coping the file to the right place fixes this. Then you get an error sayng that the graphics card does not support the modes required.
You then download the latest drivers for the graphics card It then works. Well if you call having the entire screen filled with visible mesh lines and missing triangles So far not impressed with Vistas compatability!
Last edited by cosmicnut; 18th Sep at Reason: Found my old thread. Wait, you are telling me that Vista runs SS2 better than Prey? That is truly hilarious! Well I wasn't as lucky as you guys were. I installed the game the normal way on my Vista Home Premium machine, and patched it with shkpatch. Restarted pc, game starts up just fine, I can change options and start game, but locks up as soon as I exit the tram heading toward the gravshafts.
Sound looping upon lockup. I tried a variety of resolutions and sound options, but same thing. Also tried running the game in all compatibility modes and as an administrator. I am no expert with computers but I had no trouble getting SS2 running on my older XP machine so I was pretty disappointed about this. Any ideas? That sounds like the dualcore issue.
Did you try disable CPU1 in the affinity settings of the shock2. Assuming you have such processor of course. Yes I do have a core 2 duo E Are you kidding? I feel lucky that it's running as well as it's is now. I'm afraid to even breathe on it. Hell, it doesn't work unless I hold my tongue just right.
But, what have I got to lose? Win7 shouldn't be much different. I finally decided to not reinvent the wheel, so I torrented a version that, once extracted not installed , seems to save fine. I haven't taken the time to ensure that it runs flawlessly, but it's running, saving and I'm hopeful. Well, cold fuck me runnin'. As a lark, I thought I would check and see if there were any resolution mods for SS2 as the original is limited to x Sure enough someone awesome created a custom resolution and widescreen mod a la WeiDU for the Infinity Engine games.
Got SS2 running at x on my 24" and it looks beautiful. I haven't seen any of the in-game menus yet and I hope they're not impossibly tiny to read. The game menu itself is regular-sized. The sound is screwed, however. All sounds come only from the center speaker in my 5. Checked control panel applet, it recognizes and successfully test 5. I also can't enable audio hardware acceleration. EarthRift 13 years ago 3. I'm on vista, and I got it working through some obscure means. First of all, make sure you patched the game.
That won't help at all with Vista, but it will stop a slew of other bugs. Anyway, oddly enough, compatability mode Windows XP sp2 has gotten the best results. Second, the game doesn't like dual core processors If you're running dual core, right click the process not the application in task manager.
Then click on Affinities. Make sure only one processor is checked. Daveed84 13 years ago 4. I got the game to work by running in Windows compatibility mode. I'd recommend looking for mod websites to further enhance your game experience; there are fixes for everything, you just have to find them. DaDumb1 13 years ago 5. Where is Compatability Mode?

Right-click on Shock2.
