Hi, first post here. I used to play Dark Omen back in the day, and I was really happy to see that DO has an active community after all these years, and I can’t wait to try all the new campaigns included in the latest modpack.

I followed the installation instructions on this forum, and got the game running on my Windows 10 laptop with a GeForce 750m graphics card. However, I am only able to run it in CPU mode, since 3D mode is grayed our in the options menu. Could anyone here help me with this? I remember the game looking a lot better in 3D mode.

Glad it's working and as for the language ->

Thank you very much. Now it runs. 
Is there a way to get the language to german especially the voices in the battles and the voicess in the cutscenes (this talking scenes between the battles)?

Hi and welcome,

you will need a UK English CD version.

Hi DO-Friends,

today i found the Dark Omen-CD in my cellar and try to install (again and again) and play it. It was clear to me that there will be problems with Win10 and DO. So I went to your web page and try every step of:
http://forum.dark-omen.org/help-section/ultimate-dark-omen-xpvistawin7win81win10-game-fixes-t111.0.html
but it doesn't work.
The error issue is 0xc0000142.
The diffierence between your guidance and my version is that my CD is a german-version, but i try it anyway.
Can you help me please to play one of the best games of all time again?
I remember to play this version maybe 5-7 years ago under Win7 without any hard problems.
Do you have any solutions for 0xc0000142 or in general the german versions under Win10?
Do you need special informations about my system?

Greetings from germany (sorry for grammatical errors, i try my best)

I was using the wrong registry! Apparently I'm 64 bit. Thanks for the help!

I installed the 32-bit registry file but still no luck. Hearing the audio but not seeing any visuals/graphics.

Hi and welcome, sounds like you need to install the registry file in the Fix guide.

Hello,

New to the community.

I recently installed Dark Omen and followed the instructions on the forum. At one point the game loaded for me, I started a new campaign and following the initial cut scene, the game froze. I restarted my computer and now when I try and load the game, I can hear the audio but I'm getting no visuals/graphics. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
JRule

That darkpatch.dll won't work with the German version. You have to take the EngRel.exe provided in the mod package of which converts the game to English. But the sound samples should still be German, only the text will be English.
