i still have some troubles with my vista installation but this time, it is for multiplayer game (LAN for now, internet later). I have 3 PC, 2 with XP, 1 with Vista.
1) I have no problem between the 2 XP, both of them can be host or guest. But for an unknown reason, vista can only be guest.
2) I installed the mappatch in order to be able to play in multiplayer with all maps of the singleplayer game. As before, no problems with the 2 XP installation. But very strangely, when i click on CREATE in the vista installation, the game doesn't see the new maps (however well loaded in the 1PBAT files of the vista installation of DO). And as a consequence, even as guest, the vista PC can not play with the XP PC except if i choose a vanilla map with the host (XP PC).
I have installed your other fix. Now, i have the INTRO without image, only the sound and when i click on, the game goes to menu. Everything else seems ok until now, so it works, thank you very much!!
Now, i will begin to see how to play in multiplayer per internet, it is an other story.
1) Concerning the "infected" files, you are probably right. It is just an information in case of. I am having Dr Web anti-virus.
2) Concerning the crash during INTRO (in fact, it is not a crash or a return to desktop but rather a blocked PC), i already used the "do_crashfix.reg". Moreover, i checked the regedit, i have the code:
i discovered this forum some days ago and i am very surprised (and happy) there are still some people playing this very nice game. I played DO on PS1 many years ago and i liked it very much.
I have been to the download section and now i can play DO on my PC, thanks to you.
However, i have a trouble, in fact 2.
First, i didn't have any trouble to install DO on XP. I followed your instructions; everything went as you said, so that's ok. But, on Vista 32, it doesn't work. Of course, i didn't forgett the put the d3drm.dll in the PRG_FRA directory (i am french) . The trouble is that, during the INTRO, if i click on to short it in order to go directly to the menu, the game blocks completely (the PC too). The same occurs if i let the INTRO go to the end. So, i can never have the menu. If you have an idea.
Second, it is rather for your information. My anti-virus detected 3 trojan. I give you the path: dark omen\directx\drivers\usa\mgaxdd32.dll - infected with Trojan.MulDrop3.3856 dark omen\directx\drivers\ger\mgaxdd32.dll - infected with Trojan.MulDrop3.3856 dark omen\directx\drivers\frn\mgaxdd32.dll - infected with Trojan.MulDrop3.3856
I am adding that i found these trojan not only in my computer connected to internet but also in the other one (no internet connection). I think it is in the donwloaded files.
