Well I've just completed KQ8: Crash of Eternity.
This game just barely works on Windows 7, and due to the instant-death nature of the game, plus the fact that it freezes and bombs about every five minutes, I find it risky to walk more than 20 feet without saving again. Saving again. Saving again. Saved about ... 170 times I think.
Here are some fixes, for anyone else trying to suffer through this game, using the 2011 "new installer":
1. Turn off ALL shadow effects in Graphics seems to really help a lot with stability.
No, it ain't mah 3D card's fault -- Dual GTX 680 1gig in SLI mode, runs GTA4 with max quality and the ocean splashing on the beach smooth as glass.
It's too bad this game can't somehow be forced to run at 1600x1200 with the bitmaps scaled up and bicubic interpolated, to match the higher resolution.
2. You can make the video cutscenes work, without downloading anything.
For whatever reason, Microsoft continues to include the antique Indeo 5 codec in Windows 7 64-bit, but they don't register the DLL's so this codec doesn't normally do anything. So no you don't need to hunt all across the web for Indoe 5 video drivers. You already have them, just need to enable them. Enabling them requires running the DLL registration program as an administrator:
- Click START menu/button
- Type CMD and wait a few seconds
- An icon for CMD appears in start menu
- Right-click on the icon and choose Run as Administrator
- Yes to security warning
- Welcome to the command prompt! Ah, it's just like running MSDOS again.
For Windows 7 32-bit: (note, this is not tested but most likely valid)
- Type C: and press ENTER
- Type CD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and press ENTER
- Type REGSVR32 IR50_32.DLL and press ENTER
For Windows 7 64-bit:
- Type C: and press ENTER
- Type CD C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64 and press ENTER
- Type REGSVR32 IR50_32.DLL and press ENTER
Either click the [X] to close the command prompt, or type EXIT and press Enter
3a. To force-quit the game you need to use the Task Manager. But when Mask is running you technically only see the upper right corner of your desktop, so if the Task Manager is not already up in the upper-left corner, it's going to be hard to force quit. So BEFORE running Crash of Eternity, open the Task Manager and put it in the upper left corner of your desktop.
3b. To force-quit the game when the Task Manager is off somewhere else... well you still can do it but it is harder:
- Ctrl-Alt-Del
- Start Task Manager
- Press ALT key
- Press ENTER key
- You will see a disembodied menu pop up on the far right of the screen.
- Press RIGHT arrow until a menu with "Move" appears
- Press DOWN arrow to highlight "Move" and press ENTER
- Use the LEFT arrow and UP arrow key to move Task Manager into view from the right side of your screen
- When it's on screen, now you can go to the Processes tab, select MASK.EXE and Click END PROCESS
Easy! (Heh.)
4. There's a dialog hang in the Barrens, talking to the merchant that helps you kill the basilisk.
At the end of meeting the merchant for the first time, Conner says "Let me ponder that." ... and the mask dialog icon spins, and spins, and spins, and spins, and spins, and spins, and spins. PLEASE WILL YOU STOP PONDERING THAT??? The only solution is to force quit the game as above, but you can't get past this step and the game is broken and unusable.
It looks like there's an error in the character dialog file, but you can solve it using the "cheat console" and without cheating.
Any time before you meet the merchant:
- Press Ctrl-Shift-7 to bring up the console
- Type this, EXACTLY AS SHOWN: set Barren::Seller::metConnor 1
- Press Ctrl-Shift-7 to close the console
You can now talk with the merchant, and at the end when Conner says "Let me ponder that" you get control back and can continue playing normally.
5. There's another script bug that happens at the end of the Barrens. When getting the mask piece from the chest near the jail, Conner gets the same mask piece twice.
Conner walks up to the chest and opens it, but it suddenly disappears when opening it. The minion appears. Conner turns to face the minion ... and the chest reappears.... and spins around with Conner so the chest is between Conner and the minion, and Conner opens the chest again.

Re: Playing KQ8: Crash of Eternity on Win 7 64-bit
I've been able to play for hours on Win 7 x64... or at least boredom forces me to quit.
Software mode can, heck the game can even be run in widescreen under software if you change a few bytes in hex. A lot of the menus get broken though.
2. Still need to take a look at Windows 8 and see if they removed that codec yet or not, otherwise there's always this. (videos using the xvid codec)
3a. Ctrl-Shift-Esc -> Taskmanager. Though you only need that if the game is completely locked up (graphics, sound, etc.), if it's just sitting there on a spinning mask screen do Ctrl-Shift-7, "quit", enter.
4. I gave collector a fix for this back on April 1st but he still hasn't added it to the installer... the file is tw_weird.cs. which you can also find in my installer.
5. First time I've heard of this, do you still have the game save so I can look into it?
There's your problem, although the glide wrapper is also very old and wasn't made for today's computers. (I think the GeForce 5900 was the best at the time, and that was the last to still have hardware support for 256 color textures.)Dale Mahalko wrote:No, it ain't mah 3D card's fault -- Dual GTX 680 1gig in SLI mode, runs GTA4 with max quality and the ocean splashing on the beach smooth as glass.

Re: Playing KQ8: Crash of Eternity on Win 7 64-bit
I have been involved in a large project had have not had time to do much with the installers. It may be a while before I can get back to it, but this is not forgotten.

Re: Playing KQ8: Crash of Eternity on Win 7 64-bit
I can see why no one wants to try to fix script bugs. The scripts are ridiculously complicated. The interpreter engine apparently doesn't support
- IF x OR y THEN
- IF x AND y THEN
- CASE
So instead you have a literally 25-level deep IF structure.
Also the indenting of the script files is all screwed up, as if the programmers only had a window that was 80 characters wide, and they could not indent everything properly. I manually indented this one by hand in Windows Notepad, just to try to figure out the Weirdling vendor hang:
TW_WEIRD.CS
Dayum, that IF/THEN structure is just nuts.
- IF x OR y THEN
- IF x AND y THEN
- CASE

Re: Playing KQ8: Crash of Eternity on Win 7 64-bit
It has nothing to do with the if structure, there's a bug in the talkcomplete function so anything can be randomly skipped. The current way around this is to rewrite the script to advance after a set amount of time for the most common trouble spots. The disadvantage of this is it can still happen anywhere in the game unless you rewrite every script and it'd only be timed correctly for whichever language you used as reference.

Does you strategy work the same for the GOG KQ8 on a Windows XP Lenovo laptop? It so irritates me that a GOG sold game would crash on my system before I can even play it.

If you're playing it on a laptop; my first guess would be the video card.Lounge Lizard wrote:Does you strategy work the same for the GOG KQ8 on a Windows XP Lenovo laptop? It so irritates me that a GOG sold game would crash on my system before I can even play it.

Re: Playing KQ8: Crash of Eternity on Win 7 64-bit
Hello Guys, came across you a few weeks back by accident. Quite surprised to see this game can run in wins7 so thought OK will give it a go in 32 bit might try 64 later if I ever get to the end this round.
In this thread I'm posting in I have had the same lock up as Dale so tried to follow his work-around and failed?
So I then downloaded a save from here - *sheesh* how can you guys use so many potions and how do you manage to by-pass everything? I think I have used in total 10 mushrooms (the entire game so far) so I just lost heart playing this game, about to delete it when it hit me----------
Connor is spelt with 1 (one) n for nut not 2 once I removed the spelling error this has worked so back I go to meet "whatshisname".
I love whoever did the big clean up job it has been like playing a new game not an old one.
Should also mention F2 is very erratic in Barren works sometimes then refuses to and all of a sudden Conor has this thing about just walking any where on his own, you have no control of stopping him till you come across an enemy.
