View Full Version : Anyone got KeeperFX running on W7 64 Ultimate?

Okay - I build myself a new computer last year - a huge abomination monster computer actually.


But! I wanted to play Dungeon Keeper (Again)


Problem:

When I run KeeperFX, I get to the main menu and all - everything works fine, except for things having crazy-colors during the loading screen.
When I want to start a game - I get to the map to pick the level - I can't do shit, because the curser is not to see and it is frozen. Since moving my mouse around can't pick up the flag either.

In the main menu right after the game has been laucned I see the cursor, but if I get back to the menu a secound time, it doesn't appear.


So


How do I get to play my favorite game on Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate? I have no other choices really, since my previous computer with XP on it, is just a bunch of hardware laying in a box in my closet.


Please help!


(I realize this should have been in the KeeperFX forum, so I'm going to repost it there. Delete this if needed)

I got it to work on my Windows 7 Home Edition after I installed the patch to 0.39a

Maybe that might help you?

Now it is not working - at all.

Error Message:

The program can't start because of SDL_net.dll is missing from your computer.

Just to confirm - did you install KeeperFX ( the full version ) in a totally separate directory from your original Dungeon Keeper directory?
Some conflict there might be affecting (or maybe not).
Then after that, patch with the 0.39a.

You don't need your CD at all to reinstall KeeperFX.

This may or may not help, but I have this site on bookmark when dealing with crazy Windows.

PS : I'm considering getting rid of my W7 to install XP on my new netbook. That said, KeeperFX works fine for me.. then again its not a 64 Ultimate.

Thanks - however it doesn't work.

blablabla .net.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contrains an error, try installing the program again using the original installation...blabalblabla
