My name on game ranger is Willia and my email is [email protected]
Please add me to friends on game ranger and we can play :)
Im only playing the game with people who have the latest updated version from GOG as it included a HW accelerator patch that fixes all the crap that we used to get whilst playing
in short it fixes
-The ability to use HW Acceleration
-The ability use QSouns
-chat in multiplayer games
-random crashes
-game menu mouse moving slowly weirdly
With all of these fixes the game looks and plays a ton better
You can get the latest version from GOG games http://www.gog.com/game/dungeon_keeper_2
The game is only $5.99 however if your to broke.. I have bought the game and it has no copy protection in it so I will happily provide you with a download for it
I would just post the link here but im guessing that is prohibited? anyway either add me on Gameranger or message me here and ill send u a link
(Let me be clear I do not support piracy however this game is so old I doubt its doing anyone any harm and I want to play it online with a stable version..)
Ok so the new version comes with 2 exe files 1 is the original DKII.exe and one is the file made by the GOG staff with the patch it has a slightly different file name of DKII-DX.exe
When you start Dungeon keeper yourself on your computer it automatically starts with the new file and everything works great however if your playing online with something like Gameranger then it attempts to start the game with the old and original exe files (This runs the game but with all the old issues)
So to play online with the new and improved version you need to make a couple of changes ill outline them for you below.
Go to you DK2 install folder and find the file called DKII.exe and change the file name to anything really "DKII-old.exe" or something

Now find the new exe file in the folder and change that file to DKII.exe
