I got dungeon keeper 2 for xmas. i fell in love with it the first 10 min of play. then it stopped and went back to my desktop.
I was told by Gateway i needed more ram so i did this, it played for 30 min and stopped.
I then was told to get a new disk drive, so i did this and it played 30 min and stopped.
That left getting a new video card, i did this and it played 15 min and returned to desk top.
I was told i must have corrupt softwear so i go new xp and dumped my hard drive put in new patitions and reinstalled , then reinstalled the game and downloaded its patches.
This time the game had small black segmented lines through it and it shut my computer off.
I have done everything possible, what is left? Another thing i found funny was the way the company that produces this game hides no tech support number nothing.
Well, it seems you're willing to do everything to make this game run.
Instead of upgrading everything, try downgrading your windows to 98 or 95 - that'll work for sure since the game was designed for these systems - and it's a lot cheaper ;-). But at a cost offcause - now you can't run all the newer programs!!. This can however be solved with a dual boot.
Remember to have the latest drivers for your video card too, and NOT to upgrade the game (at least not with the latest patches)
And... DO NOT criticize Bullfrog!! That's blasphemy!! Besides, Bullfrog has been taken over by EA, so if you want any support contact them!
By the way, because DK2 is an older game now, it may turn out that your old hardware was more compatible with the game and it was Win XP causing problems all the time. My advise to you is to sue the bastards that gave you such bad advise. Besides, isnt it a little lousy to recieve an almost 6 year old game as a xmas gift? Hope they got it cheap ;-)
