Hi,

Best to delete any Dark Omen folders from the Registry, see the guide for their locations and let me know how you get on.

Yoji, nice intent but you are incorrect, since it is a common misconception but Aqrit is right. You also don't know what I privately message

I've actually been in contact with EA California archivists and Games Workshop and put both in contact with each other. EA own the code and Games Workshop own the art and designs, as I traced the person who worked for Mindscape/EA and signed the deal with Games Workshop back in the late 1990's and therefore states EA do legally own the source code.

Unfortunately Covid 19 occurred and I don't think Games Workshop have been able to progress it any further with EA. However, the person I am speaking with at Games Workshop, is in charge of bringing old titles to GOG, so if and when EA agree, then they will legally be able to allow GOG to sell it.

It costs me money to host this site along with paying for its domain name and I dedicate a lot of my time for free, to help all fans in any way I can to enjoy the game. Since making any money from Dark Omen via adverts or donations would also be illegal.

Hi and welcome,

Welcome back and agree that original Dark Omen has never looked so good

Following the guide from Step 2 should fix it for you but I can always remote in via TeamViewer if necessary. The original game can always be chosen within the Mod Menu.

Wow very cool! Well done, they look great.

Great to see you back home. Amazing how much we've all helped improve the game and community over the years.

Long live Dark Omen!

Fantastic! Hope to see you online for some multiplayer fun via Game Ranger.

Hi and welcome,

I will also try but are you using the dgvoodoo2?

Yep most likely. Check your message box.

Hi and welcome, I would disable anti virus or firewall to test if that it is scanning or detecting whilst playing. Unless you mean when multiplayer as games loose connection sometimes.

I've dug out my old windows 7 64bit pc and sent you both sets of registry files and whole Dark Omen install folder, including the PRG_ENG folder that contains a working EngRel.exe and dgvoodoo control panel that plays the game in 3d but black & white cursors to begin testing with.

Please read the help fix guide as it shows the alternative registry location

or in the VirtualStore
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts]

So did you try the registry, as it sets things like the coloured cursor etc.

Hi and welcome. Sounds like the registry isn't correct due to permissions like user account control. Please download the mod pack, in the help fix guide which contains the registry files. The registry is why it thinks the game still exists even after you have uninstalled.

Agreed, we are so lucky to have so many great mods that breath new life into Dark Omen.
