And by cracked version I thought he was just referring to.
I assumed that was some 1.3 cracked patch provided by Hapuga. Ahah.I've downloaded the 1.3 version on the forums provided by Hapuga
So why won't it work on the cracked version? The 1.73 includes all updates from the previous updates, and updates those by fixing them. And it makes its own .exe file for you to run the game in. (And has its own installation setup)
Why wouldn't it work?
Because the patcher thing checks the checksum of all the files it patches. If the checksum is different it gives the "already patched or corrupted" message.
Solved now. I downloaded a 1.7 version of DKII on Digiex (Link if anyone wants it: http://digiex.net/downloads/download...ion-1-7-a.html), upgraded it to 1.73 with the patch on the old forums and used DragonsLover () great topic to get it working again. Yay! (Note to self: Download the level1 fix )
@That Sinful Imp! There's no such thing ()
Not a critical problem, but a weird one at that. When you view the whole by pressing "M" there's a rectangular bit where you see where you are pointing, it's a bit out of place (It has been dragged left into the map) and there are lines defining each square of earth/gold/gems. Also, where the mana in your dungeon heart is coming up and breaking down, the bits that come down have loads of lines by them, and there are squares around the creatures.
The misplaced and greenish rectangular mini-view is generally caused when you disable "Hardware acceleration" in the Graphical Options on the main menu. It does that on my computer and also, it's lagging much. So, to solve that problem, I enabled "Hardware acceleration".
As for the lines stretching down from numbers, it does that to me as well, even with "Hardware acceleration" enabled. It's just a little graphical glitch, just ignore that. I guess it's due to the screen resolution.
As for the squares around the creatures, I have no idea. Perhaps caused by "Hardware acceleration" disabled like mentioned above.
I like dragons! They're the center of my life! I'll never forget them...
Thanks DLover. Didn't know Hardware Acceleration was off. However, Level 2 is bugged. Horny won't come to collect the portal gem. IDK why.
That is a known bug from 1.73 version made by Tomix. Try using 1.8 version he did, or wait for my own unofficial patch.

I am having problems with DK2 and Windows 7 too. I downloaded the 1.73 patch and can't play the game. I have tried the hardware acceleration suggestion, but it's still a problem
If you have a Windows 7 patch, that would be super!!!!
