The New Amazing PROBLEMS!

Post by rastan saga »

1-DEUS EX II:When I click download icon,this message appear;
"the file you request is not valid"
Yes I know this should be in the broken downloads section but...

2-DAYS OF OBLIVION:When I attempt the start game this message appear (similar);
"3 MB virtual memory to run"
I have got 1 GB memory and 1535 MB virtual memory.What the...?
PS:Traitors Gate content same problem.And many Quick Time games too...

3-BYZANTINE:During the game (very beginning),telephone ringing and when I click the telephone,game will crash.And then (with ALT+Tab) this message appear (similar);
"user mode window not compatible,
auto save disabled"
I tried everything (compatible mode,disable autosave into the game etc.) but nothing happens.What is this?
My system spec XP PRO SP2
If you haven't any answer for this maybe you send a "save game patch" for me.
I live in Istanbul,this game about Istanbul,but I can't play.Bad...

4-Jack Orlando Dos version is not working too.What a game!!!
Director's edition or Dos version,have you got any patch?

5-Morpheus...aahh Morpheus,great adventure,but not working with stability under XP.
Have you got any idea?Except delete new Quick Time and install old quick time.Because this won't work...

For my horrible english,sorry again.
I know you can't understand very well about my writings.This should be difficult for you...

For Byzantine this link might help you out:

Look close to the bit about Virtual Memory

For Morpheus likewise: http://home.earthlink.net/~infernofilec ... sSetup.htm

Jack Orlando the DOS version:The game seems to freeze or crash at the beginning wenn the option "start new game" is chosen. And this happens despite the fact that the installation and the intro movie run without any problems.
This is it: The problem is caused by the Vesa drivers! The game doesn't seem to recognize automatically the drivers of newer graphic cards.
So here is what you have to do get this nice game working:
1) Install the game
2) Put in the created game Folder the files: Univbe.exe, vesatest.exe
3) Edit the start.bat file
4) After the second line ("@echo off") write: "univebe.exe" and below "vesatest.exe".
5) Save the new content of start.bat
6)Start the game with start.bat.

This time the game should run normally!
It did for me at least!
If you can't make it work with the univesa.exe driver (because the new graphic cards don't allways recognise the Univbe Driver), try the same steps, this time using the VBEPLUS driver (vbeplus.exe).

You can download an apply-ready folder of univbe (with a config file too, so that it will be recognised from your computer without any problems ) there:

Days of Oblivion is more than a decade old. Its no wonder that it doesn't work in WinXP. I think its a Win95 game. (BTW I wasn't able to run it in WinXP.) I'll have to look at it when I get home to see what it truely needs.

Here's what I've found (with just a search for "Days of Oblivion" on Google). It looks to be a walkthrough for this rare game. Pay no mind to cheats.php, its a walkthrough.

Thanks for walkthrough,Meddle...

But I think this game is not ending with fast CPU.
While Franklin University scene,not enough time for action and be stuck in here.

Maybe "CPU clock speed programs" can solve this problem.
...or maybe I should start over with walkthrough.

Thank you again.

...one more thing,

If you want to play this game without CD swapping (incredible bad!!!),copy all files to DVD and play.

When the game ask CD change,click OK button,game will continue...
