Step-by-step running the game on Windows 7 (Dungeon Keeper 2)

1. Activate the compatibility mode under Windows 2000.
The right button on the game shortcut - Properties - Compatibility - check and select Windows 2000.

2. In the same menu (Compatibility), you need to tick the Disable visual themes.



3. Disable other programs that are running, because they can interfere with the DK2.

4. Tab, Label menu Object. There is a path to the file. After this path, you must add the following information: -softwarefilter -32bitdisplay. Ie you will have something like: D:\games\Dungeon Keeper 2\DKII.EXE -softwarefilter -32bitdisplay



5. If you have a graphics menu, just black background, please do the following: go in the game, go to the menu graphics, disable hardware acceleration. Not leaving the game, start a new mission. As you have seen, just a black square, will have to poke at random, however, after the start of the mission schedule will be restored.

6. After you start the mission exit the game to main menu. Then go in Windows to save these settings. Everything is ready, enjoy!

An alternative solution to the problem with running the game and correct performance.

I. Go to the settings of your graphics card. Disable in the program settings dkii.exe all parameters of all functions (Streaming optimization - OFF REQUIRED) (Users GForce)

II. During operation of the game start task Manager and process dkii.exe set the affinity to one core (multicore processors)

PS I Hope that helped someone :)
