Oh my god... please disregard my last reply. I actually figured it out! It's such an obvious and dumb thing that my brain couldn't even comprehend trying it. The Volume slider inside QFG4 actually controls the music and NOT the digital sound. So cutting the slider in half will reduce the music and t...

That'd be all fine and good, but it doesn't come with any instructions. When I try to run the program, it fails to detect any MIDI device and just quits. How exactly do I set it up?

Hi! I've recently been replaying the DOS version of QFG4 from my 1997 Collection CD. I installed it using the Sierra Help Pages installer on DOSBox. My problem is a bit difficult to describe. You know how normally when a character starts speaking, the background music is supposed to lower in volume?...

Okay, I narrowed down the problem a little bit. If you run INSTALL.EXE using DOSBox, the QFG1 VGA game gives you the option of selecting which device will play back music and sound effects. This results in different quality music and sound depending on the device. When I select Soundblaster/AdLib as...

No, how would I go about using an AdLib? I do have a savefile before the end. Update: I fixed problem #2 in QFG4 and I feel like an idiot for not noticing this! Apparently, combat sounds are a DETAIL of the game. QFG4 defaults the Detail slider to medium when you start a new game and this disables c...

Thanks Collector, I really appreciate your help. I managed to find that YouTube video where the music plays at the end of QFG1 (I knew I wasn't crazy those 20 years ago ;P). Starts at 5:10. The MIDI device he uses is playing inferior quality music, yes, but it's playing the right track at the end ce...

Hello again, I installed both Quest For Glory 1 VGA and Quest For Glory 4 DOS from the Collection Series CD (it's the only one I own) and I used the Collection Series installer and Doxbox v0.74. I keep running into these two weird problems and after spending hours of research and fiddling around wit...

I turned off dynamic lightning and it looks like that fixed the problem. The game is still pretty laggy, but at least it's playable now even with the other glider options turned to max. I guess that's the best performance that you can get out of it since DirectDraw seems to be broken (it produces ps...

I tried to install my old 1998 CD version of the game using the new Mask of Eternity installer + included wrapper on the SHP. I have a Windows 7 64-bit system with an ATI Radeon HD 6870 video card. The game installs and runs perfectly and the intro movie plays just fine. But when I get to the main m...
