Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (German) Technische Probleme Warum geht intro nich mit XP ?

hi ...

@larian studios : why does the intro in the german version of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> not work on winxp...is there a special vi´deo codec needed or something? and if , why does the game not install it itself ...makes me angry!!! for the game "sacred" (not by you!) it was the same [nocando] also...but there was an extra program found on the cd´s....but for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!
so please answer that.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

für alle die des englischen nich so mächtig sind: bei mir geht das intro von <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> nich mit win XP ...in win98 läuft zwar das intro , das game stürtzt abber gleich am anfang ab.....welche tragik.....ich kapier es nicht!!! kriegt man in letzter zeit nur noch bugbehafte software/games.....bei "sacred" war wenigstens noch die möglichkeit, nachzuinstallieren....aber bei BD is nicht mal irgendwas in der art auf den cd´s zu finden......
vielleicht weiß irgendwer rat...? alle anderen games, und deren nicht zu wenig, laufen suuuper!!!

Also an Win XP liegt es nicht, bei mir funktioniert es wunderbar. Probier mal andere Settings, weiß aber nicht ob das was hilft

Sorry but i dont speak German.

Right click on the exe file of BD, and select Properties
In the proerties window, you have a Compatibility tab
In the tab, enable "run this program in compability mode for:"
And select Windows 98 in the list.

And see if it's better then.

Sorry, but is not Windows XP. I have XP too, and the Intro runs at my Computer.

By the way: the videos are normal mpg files. I would try to execute them manually and try if that works. If not, I guess you have a missing codec.

@ nemesis dragon: the mpg-file run fine in windows-mediaplayer.....so i think, i have these codecs... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />


@ match: the game refuses to run in compatibility mode....it says, i have to remove this mode on the tab....after that, it works "normaly" without the intro..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Damn.

Did you try windows 2000 compatibility as well ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ match:
i´ll try now, but for the reason , it refused to function before, i see no chance , that it will work after all...because of the compatibility mode, the game will not accept... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

still confusing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />- BD lies now unmotivated at my desk, and i don´t want ta play a half game - so if the intro, outro and cutscenes did nothing, this game is also half the worth....i hope , someone of larian studio is reading this thread very soon.....otherwise i have to wait, until patching or something else...........and that means patience......MANY MANY PATIENCE..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

by the way, in another post i read, that only one voce-actor is for the intro....no ingame-speech (for the german version)......only dialogs ta read... the first game has spoken dialogs (if anybody has the english version,how about that...are there spoken dialogs ?) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

cu...netrider

Yes there is (or rather will be) spoken dialogue in the English version.

Hi netryder,

Our apologies for this.
I have forwarded your problem to the programmers.
Will let you know once we have a solution.

Kind regards,
Lynn

hi... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
@lynn :
thanx fo aswering...
now i had reinstalled win 98 again and it runs fine...but if you get a solution for win xp , it would be welcome also....
think i could play it now...for a while....
in another thread i read,that someone makes a suggestion, to put the english laguage pack online (for german users) ...could that be possible...i think it´s very poor, if the character "says" nothing...nothing ta hear..(...want have speech also - like english users. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />..)...in divine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> there was a little speech , and that will be the reason to buy that game again.....(wich i had poorly given away 3 months ago....shame on me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />)....

it would be very welcome (that speechpack, i mean <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />.....)

for this time,thanx again...
