Just overwrite the dune2.exe? That's all I need to do?

Well, has anyone actually played it? Has it gotten any better over the years? I signed up and played a free alpha of it what must be a few years ago now. It seemed OK but it wasn't exactly drawing me in. I didn't really go back to it.

But is this compatible with the GruntMods version of Dune 2000? It sounds like not, from the earlier posts in that thread.

I just tried it out. Beautiful. And plays perfect in 3440 x 1440. It is somewhat stretching the movies but I can't complain much. You guys are amazing for making this happen.

Point me in the direction of this thread? Also, while it all works now there is still a big black area below every cinematic. I've got a widescreen monitor with a native resolution of 3440 x 1440. Is there any way to adjust?

But is that the best playable version of the game available?

I think I see the problem I had. I was installing the latest GruntMods version of the game and THEN downloading and installing the cinematic pack separately. That caused the game to fail. If I just install the GruntMods first and then click "Install Cinematics" from within the first menu, it all works fine.

Will just plugging it into DosBox give Soundblaster quality sound and all, or is that plug-ins?

Like my Emperor question, I'm just interested in knowing what would be the very best way to play Dune 2 in 2026? On Windows 11? I'm not super interested in fan-made sequels or anything (but please tell me if there's any quality ones out there), just what I need to do to get it playing perfectly with the best quality of music, etc., as was available when the game was originally released.

Bear with me, as I have not played the game in probably 15 years. I see a lot of information and apparently various options, but I'm wondering, simply: What is the best method to play Emperor: Battle for Dune in 2026? On my Windows 11 PC? Is this Emperor Reborn option the most sensible?

Yeah, I double click on it and nothing opens. That's what I mean. The Mission Launcher button doesn't do anything when I click on it. It doesn't open.

Done!

So last night I attempted to play Dune 2000 via the GruntMods packs. I installed the core GruntMod pack and was able to jump into the first mission right away. Music fine, custom resolution worked fine. Then I installed the cinematics GruntMods pack. Now when I click on "Start" from the launcher nothing happens. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Why?
