Game News Betrayal at Krondor on GoG

[Wulfstand]

Here's a printscreen of what I see when i try to pop up the game.

Have you tried solutions written here, Wulfstand?

I'll look over them right now, thanks.

Maybe change the machine type? You have an error there, anyway.

just use the floppy version. The CD version has just slightly better music quality and the sfx are exactly the same. Other than that, they're identical.

I know, I recently did that modification, I still got the error/black screen, whatever, before that.

I know, it's just that I'm such a huge music whore, and from the sound of it, the cd version has some pretty good (redone, whatever) music, and since this is gonna be a fresh replay, I figured why not.

EDIT:
Get it to run (2005-05-01 17:26) Biges
If you have problem running the game, try to edit Drive.cfg file - change the letters to the ltter of the drive where BaK is installed.

That did the job quite well, thank you for your help mates.

Sumbitch.
I just got off underground-gamer the cd version of BaK, which I've never tried out before (I've always played the floppy-disk version), and the damn thing just won't start. I installed it, mounted the cd with dosbox (for the music), but when I start the game the screen goes all black, and after a few seconds it closes itself.
I've tried running the floppy-disk version, and the game works a-ok. However, looking at both folders, the floppy version clearly has more files in it, which is p. strange. Can anyone help?

Also, here are my mounting instructions:
mount c e:\dosbox\krondor
imgmount d e:\krondor\krondor.cue -t iso
c:
Krondor

A pro would make me save money, not spend it, dammit

 

[ghostdog]

I just realised I have both versions installed.

PROTIP:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c E:\DOS\GameInstalls\#BetrayalAtKrondor\Games
imgmount d E:\DOS\GameInstalls\#BetrayalAtKrondor\CD\betrayal_at_krondor.cue -t iso -fs iso
c:
cd games
cd dynamix
cd bakcd
krondor
exit

You can download it here :

http://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/betrayal-at-krondor/

with an installer and a premade autoloading dosbox config.

As of today its demo download only, link to full version at GoG

I presume someone from GoG is monitoring sites, presumebly also our prestigious magazine.

Yeah, cause there's no way it could, like, work the other way around.

Ok, I tried the game, but when I alt-enter into fullscreen all the colors are um, rainbowy.

The sticky key like walking is weird too. I push forward and it takes one step, then a second later I walk normally. Any fix for that?

This is using the oldgames.sk version.

:D

Incidentally what version is on sale by GoG ?

 

[Sceptic]

Probably the CD version, which means the awesome sword is fixed and Mind Melt sidequest is bugged. And there are only 2 Valheru armors.
