DF2 on Windows Vista
Is there anything that I should be aware of before loading DF2 on Windows Vista?
I've been away from the games for a while and I'm eager to play. I have a new computer and am a bit leary of simply loading DF2 right off the bat. However, I do know that Vista has caused some discomfort for some users and i want to avoid hiccups if possible. thanks. |

set it up like you would do with Windows Xp same thing with the Shortcut
right click-on the shortcut to the game. you see a listing the item to click-on next is "properties.." now up top you see "compatibility" on that page you see a item look =============================== look at the Attachment if you can't see the image above shows what is need to be check off to get it running good for you

well, it seemed to load properly, but there wasn't an option to add desktop icon, so the prompt that you noted above wasn'y activated.
the single missions run ok, but there is no login to the Novaworld online games - grrr. also, the DF Favorites that i downloaded from the Novasite had no files in it ... what gives? any ideas? please help. |

you update DF2?
basic you update the game first then you update the servers listing novaworld change the location of their servers attachment fix this minner bug this bug only happen this year when novalogic move their old servers to a new location fix DF1/2/LW location of Novaworld new servers to log-in --------------------------------- DF Favorites don't think it can run in Windows Vista it was not made for that, but i think there is a fix coming soon or some one knows something about it

r_o, where did you download DF Favs? Try downloading it here if you already haven't:
http://www.novahq.net/?show=utilitie...et_file&id=293 Don't expect DF2 to run smoothly on Vista, if it runs at all. DF2 is a bit old school. Chris

asker to this was: For DF2 new redirect server listing patch 1.) Instill the game 2.) Update the game normal 3.) Use “NLExePatcher.exe” to update the game more today standers. This is not a full update it’s a new server listing to a URL address! were they move to patch it in the games Cover a lot of Novalogic, Inc older games. Mainly for DF: 1/2/LW, but it will show other older games as Will they have make in the pass. Basic older games they move all their servers hardware for them to a new location now! Download link: http://novalogic.com/download/NLExePatcher.exe
