Gruntlord6 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Well I posted this in the tech support forum, but here it is in case you missed it: Alot of people are having problems with Vista and Windows 7 running the installer, or cracker due to being 64 bit or some other problem. I have solved this problem by preparing an installer which SHOULD be compatible with all systems. The only thing I didn`t do is digitally sign it, so while it's not Officially Windows 7/Vista compatible, it should still work perfect. Its fully patched to version 1.06, has all the movies, and the cd check has been removed.

D2k Sardaukar Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks. Seems to have patched it correctly. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks. Seems to have patched it correctly. :Dyea, im updating the installer with the patches already applied. Im also coding a Tech Support program to deal with common issues out of the box, if it cant solve it it will give you a text file to email to me. I have also employed a dedicated email for technical support.gruntlord6@gruntmods.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Ive updated the installer so for now there is no need to patch it. Heres the link again.http://dune.gruntmods.com/Dune%202000.msi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 this is just a small thing, but when you use space (spacebar) in links you get %20. those make things unclear. you could better use no spacebar "Dune2000.msi" or add an underscore "Dune_2000.msi". :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 perhaps it's also nice to add (gruntlord) version number to download file name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 perhaps it's also nice to add (gruntlord) version number to download file nameI Don`t see why, its in the installer itself, and its the only Dune Installer in an msi. Its also only availble if you read a post about it and click the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 So people don't need to download a whole file before they can see which version it is. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlibble Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You should be able to download the patch from the attachment in the first post of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaideN-SK Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hello,I'm using Vista so I was happy to be able to download the patch, but it isn't working. I updated the game to be a 1.06 version, then run the patch successfully, but the screen is still split with black strip. Is there ANY way how to fix it? Or am I just doing something wrong?I would be happy for any help, I really miss this game a lot.. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaideN-SK Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 it's already at version 1.6OK, I downloaded the file from: http://dune.gruntmods.com/Dune/Dune%202000%20Gruntmods%20Edition/Dune%202000.msi and sdtill have the same problem, only change is, that now I don'z have black strip, I can see a part of screen in that place. But generally it's the same problem. Can it be because of my graphic card, notebook, or just because some video codecs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athanasios Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nothing is better than the original (or not?), but if you lack the hardware/software there is no other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 All I said about emulation was that full OS emulation tends to be slow unless you got a really fast PC. And that technically (ON 32 BIT XP) Dune II runs without needing DOSBox.but that's all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that technically (ON 32 BIT XP) Dune II runs without needing DOSBox.Don't wanna go completely off-topic, but I've never encountered any performance speed issues with Dune 2 in DOSBox since v0.70, and I've got a pretty old PC to that.

athanasios Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 DOSBox is cool and fast. Other stuff is slow. I am currently installing FreeDOS on WMWare and it takes centuries and CPU hits 98% freezing Firefox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
