I can't play dark omen

[sonansu]

Because I changed the top left hand corner options (3d to CPU)
and I can't get into the main menu again
what should I do?

[bembelimen]

If Dark Omen crashes after the intro you have to download the following file: Dark-Omen Intro-Crash-Fix..

Then look here Step 7-10

[sonansu]

But the program is still no response

[Ghabry]

Start Dark omen without the CD and insert it ingame. This will skip the intro and maybe fix/skip the crash.
Note: If you want to join a game you don't need the CD ^^.

I start Dark omen without the CD and insert it ingame
I can hear the music but I still can't see the main menu , it is still black screen

[Ghabry]

Have you tried to reinstall Dark Omen?
Maybe also a restart will fix the problem or a program does make problems with DO. Close every program and start Dark omen again.

If you use the DO Intro Crashfix (and import it in the windows registry by doubleclicking ^^) the settings will be changed back and your problem should be solved... it's strange that this is not working at all

[sonansu]

I reinstalled dark omen twice but with no luck
It is still black screen

Try:-

Uninstall game and delete the Program Files Dark Omen Folder.

Then Re-install and on first run, go straight to Options and change to CPU and not Coloured Cursors.

Then quit game and restart.

I have the same problema. I've tried everything that you said, but still it doesn't work. I have a win vista, so I used the file you recomend. After that, I run the file to fix the problem, but it persist.

[bembelimen]

You could check, if your "prg_eng/engrel.exe" is correct. Download this program and start, choose your engrel.exe and press md5. Now there appears a hash, it should be this: 25988FD47A48314818B3D3D924E93E60 or your exe is corrupt.

[Ainarandir]

mmm the hash is the same that you posted. Too bad, don't know what else to try.
Do you guys know if there's some kind of way to erase the effect of the crashfix? because first time I installed (before running the crashfix), the game run fine untill I started campaign. But now i can't even set the settings to CPU and normal cursor =(

thxs for the help!!

[bembelimen]

You could go to your registry and change the value manually

[Ainarandir]

Still no luck...
Well, I've run out of ideas. if anyone has any, please help me. My guess is that perhaps the Vista has some kind of record (i don't know too much of systems) that doesn't allow me to go back to "starting point", and install it like the first time.

thnks anyway, hope that someone has the magic solution

[bembelimen]

I've run out of ideas

Me too I'm sorry but i never used Vista

Uninstall game and Delete the Program Files\ Dark Omen folder

Reboot and reinstall ..

1) On First time u run game go straight to Options and change to CPU mode and not coloured cursors.

Use the Vista fix DLL and join us in chat to discuss further options but CPU mode must be set on the 1st time u run the game, otherwise uninstall remove folder and start again.
