Nations (Lost world 3)
I was getting all nostalgic and I decided to play the old game the Lost world 3. it requires Directx 8 and I have 9. because of this problem, the game just won't start. tell me please are there any programs to solve this problem. just second system because the game do not want to put. Thanks in advance...On Vista VMware Workstation put roll on it Windows 98, put it in there and run the game.
Tinkered with this game all day, it still all started here decided to register and share here. Maybe something of this will help with other games of this era.
The problem is Not triggered (does not start/refuses to work) an old InstallShield Wizard does not work setup.exe from disk/image
The decision to move the temp folder (the folder where temporary files are stored) to the top directory. (indeed, adding to Windows Cyrillic, we have incurred the wrath of the Lord)
How to make
System properties>advanced>environment variables
Is specified for the TEMP file and TMP values C:\Temp
The problem Starts the game, but instead of the main menu black screen, hear some sounds, but nothing is visible
The solution we Have to limit textures
How to make
For the Lost World 4 you can simply go to the settings (you can find them in the start menu or in tools.exe in the game folder)
For the Lost World 3 (or The Nations 2, ♥ localizers who can't distinguish a full-fledged part of the addon) it's a little more difficult as there settings no.
Just copied over a smart person who thought to add the lines from the 4th part in the third:
1. Open the registry by entering regedit at the command prompt
2. Find the line at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/
/JoWooD/DV2/Troubleshoot
3. Create a DWORD (32-bit) - 2 pieces
4. To call the first TextureLimit and set the value of fa0
5. To call the second EnableVideoChange to set the value to 1
All save and play.
The problem is I cannot run any map/mission loading, but in the end there is only a black screen and the cursor. You can call up the game menu and restart the game, but the maximum that it is possible to achieve a card where one water (sea/ocean).
The decision When I'm tired of trying. the stupid advice from the Internet began to think to analyze. Confused that the game directory contains parentheses (Program Files (x86)), and decided to reinstall to a directory higher. Suddenly earned as a mother.
How to make When you install (or reinstall) of the game to specify: or C: Program files or another path, in which no brackets or damn Cyrillic alphabet. Recall that the method of copy->paste the flawed, since it is necessary not only to transfer files, but also to register the registry.
Well that's all, I hope someone helped ponastolgirovat. Religious people can continue to share the disk, start the virtual box and reinstall Windows, and take other sverhoriginalnogo solutions that help almost never..

The old registry had been very helpful after my 2 Gg operatives is not enough for the game and the download seemed long. The registry was the solution, after which the load was accelerated significantly and the process has not prosecuted a crazy load on the operative. Thank you very much!
