King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity on Windows 10.

[Ripper]

I have all the King's Quest games. The King's Quest 8 that i have is Original in 1 CD, with subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese (Brazilian Version). The game doesn't work on Windows 10. I downloaded a patch in The Sierra Help Pages (http://sierrahelp.com), the name of the installation file is "kqmasksetup.exe". It worked great on Windows 10. The only problem is that sometimes the game freezes. I tried to run as administrator, with compatibility mode with Windows 98 / Windows Me. I think it reduced the freezes, but didn't solve the problem. Even so, the game is playable and i completed it. Just had to save often. Just one small problem with the Brazilian Version. I had little problems with a few words in the subtitles. Examples:

"Não" word is showed as "N o".

Other examples:

Trovão = Trov o

Dimensão = Dimens o

So, the "ã" is not showing in the subtitles. But there is no big deal with that in my opinion. Maybe in the future i will get the GOG Version to test it. So, does anybody have a solution to the freezing problems with the game using this patch?

Thanks.

I have not looked at that installer for quite some time. I cannot guess about its compatibility with Win11. The lack of letters with diacritics is probably from included patch (MoE13fg) files intended for the US release. I do believe that freezes were one of the issues that that patch was supposed to help. I don't know if there were international versions of that patch or not. If there was and you can find it, you could try to install itand see if it helps.

Thanks for the reply. I have this patch and used in my old computer with Windows XP 32 bits "KQMoE(MoE13fg).exe" and i didn't had problems with the subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese. I think this patch is universal. Maybe we need a new patch to solve this problem with the subtitles and the freezing bug as well.
