cant get dom2 to work
 

and the topic of ("Dominions II: Technical/Hardware Issues" Q: I'm having problems with starting Dominions 2 with Win98 or WinME.) is taking me nowhere.

i get a blue screen with a VDD error. i have win ME with a geforce 3 card.

any help out there? or someone fix the link?

thanks

Try here.

There is also a rather amusing but sadly mainly uninformative thread here. With any luck, Raven will PM you. *cough* Or maybe not.

That's all I can tell you, hope you find something in there that helps.

thanks Karacan, im actually having the same error log file output as HJ. but i tried 2 different Versions of the SDL.DLL file and that didnt fix it.

anyone have more input?

actually, i get a blue screen error when i boot up (that wont let windows load up in non-safe mode) after trying to run dominions (yes, dom2 messed up my system). this all started after i formated my comp recently (meaning im using the most recent drivers). reinstalling the geforce drivers will fix my boot up error though. but i still cant get dom2 to work. ill tried to turn down my graphics acceleration by two steps, but i would really like a fix, not a work around.

help please

Re: cant get dom2 to work
 

ok, i figured it out. i tried all settings with graphics acceleration, colors, and the sdl.dll (old and new). none of that worked. but what i did find that worked is turning the fps on the refresh rate on the desktop off of optimal. any number would work. hope this gets fixed in the next patch!
