I can't get this to play with any music. Winstall.exe won't let me choose any music device and install.exe is all gibberish. I tried running install.exe under dosbox and I get all sorts of errors at the bottom of the screen. I just extracted the game, ran aitd2.exe with vdmsound, and I get no music, same as if I run it under dosbox. Any help wound be appreciated.

There's a patch for the WINSTALL file here: http://www.justadventure.com/thejave/html/...mesA/AloneDark/, it should fix the problem of not being able to select a music device.

Shall I provide an iso? Or would that be too big to download?[/b]
If it wasn't too big, it would already be on the site.

Damn! It freezes at a fix spot, when you walk into a room with an African mask on its wall on the 2nd floor inside the manor.

Thumbs down

Hi again guys... this is Felipe, from Brazil.

So, the game freezes in the African room? No problem, download this:

http://serveurdarklone.free.fr/Fichi...ck%20AITD2.zip

Just simply replace all files in the game´s directory with that ones in the .zip file.

NOTE: When u guys reach the pirates room (where they´re sleeping) save often! Cause depending what actions or moves that you do, the game freezes. Its still possible to finish the game without go to any corner in this room from the door next to the ladder.

TIP: To put the barrel on their room, use the door in front of the cannon room´s door (not the one next to the ladder). This hint will save you from a bug and help ya to save the day, on AITD2, of course!

VDMSound, a compatibility program that helps in running old games on Windows XP. You can download a copy from Abandonia's "Programs" page.

"AITD2 is not sold, and ESA has not renewed its protection on 2. 3 is sold, and 1 is still protected by the ESA."

For how long is a game protected by ESA? Forever? Seems strange how the older games is protected yet the new is not.
