Neverhood with Windows XP? |
|
Getting a new PC tomorrow with Windows XP. I heard that the Neverhood will not run in XP without some kind of patch or something. What do I need and how do I get it?

http://www.tennapel.com Has a Neverhood section on their forum
that has threads just for this kind of information. I think the
link to the patch is there as well.

Mine worked without a patch, too. I just right-clicked the Neverhood.exe file and went to the Compatibility section. I think I set mine to Windows 95, but Windows 98 should work.
Half a cheer for Klaymen!

Where can I get the game? |
|
I love the sound track - had it for years and just bought the new release - but I've never seen/played the game.
Anybody know where to get it?

you can check ebay, but I haven't seen it for a long time there.... of course it's probably there right now since I said it wont be there.

I had no problem at all saving and continuing a game in XP....

I had no trouble saving games.
As for the rest of you... You have to use the compatibility mode! Why?
Because it's there!
(I just gots to push all the buttons on my computer at least once!)

My apologies on the mis-information re: playability with XP.
(Maybe it was problems with Win2K that I recall reading about?)
In any case, I wish to confirm that it works fine with XP, so if anyone would care to send me their Neverhood CD-ROM for free, send it to...

We use XP and the only way it worked for us was to
copy all the files to a directory and use the patch. Who
knows it maybe some weird variable that only affects
some people. Maybe even multiple 'versions' of the game
having been released, some with a few bugs fixed or whatever.

As a public service, here's the Microsoft Knowledge Base article on the Neverhood.
Apparently, obscure clues are "content errors". So now I feel better about having troubles figuring some puzzles out!
