wormm Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I just downloaded this today and it doesn't seem to be working. After much searching, I found somebody suggesting the 1.0.6.1 version (~24MB), which opens a game window, but the mouse is off and I cannot move it to every part of the screen so it is not playable. The very first time I opened the 1.6.2 version, a black screen came up (like this post) and it played sounds but nothing else so I ended up closing that. After trying to change the screen resolution and other settings I kept getting the message "This video card does not support the required modes. Please open the Dune 2000 config program and change your resolution." I did not try every resolution, but I tried many and all give the same error. I then hit "reset" in the config but that didn't help. After uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling I get the same message. I am on Windows 7 by the way. Has this been addressed somewhere already? If you could point me to the right place it would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it back to the original setting, 100%http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/443-dpi-display-size-settings-change.html Same problem here, anyone with any idea how to fix this?tried almost every configuration on resolutionThanks in advance, cheers!What windows do you have?

FunkyFr3sh Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 hi @maros try to go to your game folder, in there you will find dune2000.exe, right click, propteries, compatibility, enable: 16bit color Do the same for dune2000-spawn.exe if you like to play online/skirmish games too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing 1.6.1.9 multiplayer game after some 70+ minutes kinda crashed and I wasn't able to finish it. But I managed to make a savegame. I cannot find this savegame via game menu, it just sits in savegame folder, marked as P0.sav having also P0.sav cfg settings. How do I open this savegame pls ? So far looks like it is not possible. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 You can copy the skirmish game into your new installation folder, savegames are always compatible with newer versions. To load skirmish savegames you can just start a game on a random map, then go to the options menu and load it from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
