mattvernon Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have 2 PCs that i have tried to install this game on.On one all the colors are psychadelic - the browns are bright blue the reds are bright green.On both when i start the game the screen just constantly spins until I go to turn the camera option to on, but the auto camera really sucks.I played this game when it released on Win 2000 and it worked great, both of my PCs now have XP. Does anyone have any suggestions? Was there a patch released at any point for this game? Thanks for any help.Matt V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Have you tried right clicking on .exe file and go to properties and try "compatability mode" for win 98, 2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattvernon Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Thank you!!!That solved the mouse spinning problem - Now i can use the "interesting" control setup. Now I just need to fix the color problems. I have a nvidia 6200 (I think 256MB AGP) - the opening splash screens and the game play are horribly miscolored. Bright blue, and horribly bright yellow and green all over the screen. I have tried all the various modes, and it does not seem to make a difference. Any help is appreciated.Matt V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Have you tried setting your desktop colors to 16 bit or 32 bit?Right click on desktop->properties->settings tab-> change to 16 or 32 bit. could help.Or if there are options inside the game, you could try changing them.

mattvernon Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 The game is auto changing the resolution and the color depth, so those are correct. The in-game options are very weak there is nothing for color in game, and the video setup tool, I have tried all of the options and all are the same. Just banging my head against the wall a bit, I am assuming I need to change one of the nvidia settings, just have no idea which one.Matt V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 There should be an option to change it in the Start menu.Go Start => Programs => Frank Herbert's Dune and there should be a option to do with the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattvernon Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yes the videocfg.exe,I have tried every option in there, and none make a difference in the way the color looks. It is so weird. Here is a pic of how it looks: http://www.vernonfamily.org/images/dune.bmp Thanks again for any help you can throw my way!Matt V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think that's what happens with newer gfx cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
