TheDailyVinyl Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Stumbled upon my Dune 2K CD from, what, 15 years ago?, while getting the xmas decorations down. This is really the last game I seriously played and I thought I'd give it a go. I found the install I needed from this message board and got it up & running. THANKS GRUNTLORD!!!!! But, here's my question, I seem to remember being able to pause the game and scroll around. But I can't remember the key and can't seem to find it online. Am I mis-remembering or just haven't hit the right key yet? I seem to only be able to bring up the Options screen, but that doesn't let you scroll around. Thanks all you nerds!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If you mean to move and look around the map while it's paused, you're mis-remembering, there's no such capability in Dune 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDailyVinyl Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 aw dangit! maybe I'm thinking of SimCity which I used to also play around that same time. Thanks for clearing that up. It makes me so happy that this message board even exits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Dune Dynasty had that at one point, as a bug :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDailyVinyl Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 'Nother question. I saved my game (Atredies mission #5) and um, it ain't there after Windows upgraded overnight. Does it still exist and loadable, or if it isn't in the load mission menu, it's gone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it still exist and loadable, or if it isn't in the load mission menu, it's gone??I think that is one of the many joys of Windows. Something that Windows is doing to me now is that before I do a 30+ hour backup, I need to do a virus scan, or else it fails half way through. If Dune 2000 worked for Linux, I would use it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it still exist and loadable, or if it isn't in the load mission menu, it's gone??Did you run as an administrator or use the built in launcher? If so your save is stored in the regular save directory(Dune 2000\GameSave), otherwise windows stores it in a compatibility folder("C:\Users\Dylan\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Gruntmods Studios\Dune 2000\GameSave" in my case). The method used to launch the game determines which folder it uses to store and load the save data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
