General Improvement Mod - A New Unofficial Patch for DK2

[arnibes]

Dear,

Maybe not the right topic, but let's try.

My kid needs a little bump in the campaign (and I also need it in level 5 in the Elite campagn Forgotten one). So the think to look for is Cheats.

I used the code to activate the cheats: ctr alt c. I hear the "opening of the door" sound.
After that sound you ofcourse need to enter the relevant texts for cheat, however nothing happens.

My set-up:
-> CD version
-> 1.7 patch
-> VoodooFx register edit
-> NL-international - regular QWERTY keyboard setting
The version is not totally stable and crashes here and there, but generally playable enough.

Could someone help me or direct me how the get the cheats working?

Also to continue about the crashing. Can someone please help or assist me what to do?

I got 2 routes:
1. CD version of 1999 and manually upgraded to 1.73 and used the reg-edit + voodoo tool + run on XP Service pack 2-> relative stable
2. Illegal GOG download version -> horrible


What I especially see the game crashes when possessing creatures & perfoming some actions in a group, or for example heavier fighting or mods (see the Elite campaign in level 4).

My specs are the following:
AMD A8-6600K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.90 GHz
64-bits, x64-processor
Windows 10 Home

These are the voodoo set-up:


This is the link w.r.t. the reg-edit:
But it is the easiest thing in the world:

1. Open regedit (Start, type 'regedit' and press 'Enter').
2. Navigate to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bullfrog Productions Ltd\Dungeon Keeper II\Configuration\Video]
3. Change the values "Screen Width" and "Screen Height" to the values you want (click decimal first for ease of use).

But making registry patches is the second easiest thing in the world.

Extract this file, then double click to add the 1600x1200 resolution to the DK2 options menu:
Dk2_16001200.zip

Extract this file, then double click to set your screen resolution to 1920x1080:
Dk2set19201080.zip

I did 1920 * 1080 for my monitor!!

What could be the solution to get a more stable environment? Many thanks all!!

Having issues with it crashing right after the opening cinematic (GOG version, fresh download). Any fixes for that? Using Windows 11.
