Under Siege: Under Ash 2 (Tatha al-Hisar)

Postby whowasphone404 » Fri Feb 09, 2018 8:53 am

Hello eveyone,

Thankyou for your site, its fantastic to see so many old games preserved!
I wanted to let you know that the download link for this game, Under Siege: Under Ash 2 (Tatha al-Hisar), is not working.
I understand it is a contraversal game, but I think it would be interesting to see.

Thankyou very much for you time!

Amazingly I managed to download the full version from the Way Back Machine from the developers website. I get a crash after the opening cutscene, but Im pretty sure the game is all there. If you need, I can upload the copy I have.
Thankyou very much!

The game was removed because we had a version that was made from a corrupted disc ... it had problems installing data from level 2 ... so when you got to this level this game would simply crash

Looks like another subject mix-up again, so to put this topic straight, Under Ash 1 has the corrupted ISO demo that hfric is talking about (and has provided an URL for the archived level demo of it), while Under Siege (as in Under Ash 2) is still waiting for a re-up. Hoping that's sorted, sorry for being Cpt. Obvious, just the best of my intentions :up: :(

yeah kinda ... under ash 1.0 CD image we had was broken ... the dev gave the game for free... the Full 1.0 working version then the Image we had {link up there}

Then he updated the game to version 1.55 ... and then to 2.0 ... that later was just called Under Ash 2 ....here a working version from the 1.55 version from the dev site

Works might be an optimistic statement.

In Win11 the videos play, but crashes when loading the first level. If you apply wrapper files the videos play without any image, but you can hear the sound. The game also loads, but the performance is horrible and there is graphical glithces.

In a XP VM the videos play with no image, but with working sound. The first level also loads, but there are control issues due to it being played in a VM. Fullscreen works better...

The game is also packaged weird. You have to run the setup from within the game menu. The game will install to C:\Program Files (x86)\AFKARMEDIA\UnderSiege\UnderSiege Gold by default, but the exe wont get carried over. You can copy it from the archive.

With enough tinkering you can probably get the game to behave in XP at least.

Under Siege 1.2 (according to game exe) Arabic and English release.

VMWare Workstation Pro probably works better as it gives you more option to stretch the image, I think those options used to be in the free version but has since been removed.

Update:
Run the game as admin!
Use this wrapper:
https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/ ... tag/v0.3.1

Yes, that is the one to use... With WineD3D wrapper the game wont launch, with DGVOODO the game is pretty much unplayable and videos dont display correctly.

There is still a few issues in regards to interacting with the game menu, for example the resolutions selection works in XP, but not in Win11. I also had the game crash on me ingame, but i think the game should be stable enough to be beaten now.
