I added 4 Prcessor CPUs (was 1 out of 8 host) in Virtualbox guest settings and now CPU load dropped to 21%

but the result is the same - black screen and playing music. Now I am sure this is DO installation issue and bot Virtualbox

Hi!

Trying to run game on virtualbox guest Win 7 64 (host win 10 64), but as soon as I skip the intro the screen becomes black and music is playing on the background. Processor usage of guest is 100% while host is 15% only

I can only Alt+Tab and kill the DO process in task manager. On host I can run DO perfectly fine

I am trying to understand if it is my Virtualbox guest settings issue or DO installation on Win 7 one?

Excellent Thanks!

Picking up the work. Did some tests on the 1.seq using 0 animation (that is charge).

13 XX XX XX
Seems to be the same as 03 XX XX XX, but only occurs as the first command in the animation

03 00 XX XX or 03 04 XX XX
Second byte seems to be controlling interpolation somehow. By changing 04 -> 00 and recording the videos I see some minor differences during the movement, but nothing really dramatic, only slight diff. Probably we can ignore this.

01 XX XX XX
Is connected somehow to the mouth animation (0A). By removing it from the charge the mouth animation started a lot earlier. Not sure it always works like this because sometimes 01 appears after 0A. Need more investigation. This flag appears rather unfrequently though.

02 00 00 00
Appears before 08 00 00 00 in the end of the animation. Only tested on charge. By removing it from the list mouth animation ended much-much earlier, so it again is connected to mouth (and/or sound) somehow. Need more investigation.

I've written the tool to edit SEQ files [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] . Here's the interface [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] .

Open - select source and destination SEQ files
Save - save current state to the destination SEQ
MakeStatic - copies first frame of the animation all over the animation (kinda deprecated due to the next feature)
Edit - allows to edit the bytes manually, very handy. Bytes are in hex, each one should be separated by the whitespace/newline
ResetEdit - reverts the string to the original state

Thanks and good tip that I've added into the Help Fix Guide about increasing Gamma on the Nvidia control panel, if maps and cut scenes are too dark.

I tested the mod packs you mentioned and found that you needed to restart the game each time you select a different mod, otherwise I experienced the same errors. (As previously advised in my Help Install Guide, that I've now put back in the Guide, pending further testing of the latest Mod Pack .dll that we hoped had fixed this issue).

I tried that, it made the game stop working. the intro would load, then the start menu music would play but the screen would be frozen on the intro, had no option but to uninstall the game.

I've since reinstalled it, and found some options on my nvidia control panel which seems to have done the trick - I needed to increase the gamma. Slightly strange resolution to the problem, but a resolution non the less.

Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.

Btw, the mod packs are very unstable and some just dont work at all, the chaos one for example wont work and the wood elves one crashes on the first level. The extended campaign seems work ok though.

Thanks for the help anyways Olly

Hi and welcome,

try using CPU instead of 3D mode in settings and let us know if it makes any difference, also double check the rest of the settings with the picture below

Got this working on my win 10 laptop with a 1060gtx nvidia card. Thanks for the mod pack - it wouldnt have worked otherwise!

However, I'm having a problem with the brightness of the cut scenes and the map. It's very dark, the night time levels with the undead, mission 3 I believe, is so dark it's just about unplayable.

I've turned the brightness up as high as it'll go on my tv and also in the nvidia control panel and it doesn't seem to do anything.

Help please.
