Troubleshooting & Setup Guide
1. Fixing Security Errors
If you encounter a security error, delete diskimage.ini and patch.ini from your Windows root drive (usually C:\).
2. Setup/Install Loop & DLL Issues
If the game tries to run a setup or creates a BIOS file in your Windows folder, it’s likely because of a modified dk2win32.dll. Revert to the original DLL that came with the files to prevent this.
3. Graphics & Display Issues
Black Question Mark: If the game displays a large black question mark after rebooting, you need to reinstall your graphics drivers.
The Windows Registry entry under Netready LTD controls the shell window (default 800x600). It is recommended to leave this alone.
Instead of manual editing, load the game in TP, then exit. This automatically populates the game.ini with the correct drive and directory info. If you do edit it manually, do not change the sub-folder paths.
5. Sound Card & Shell Crashes
If the shell closes immediately, it’s a sound card compatibility issue.
The game specifically looks for Realtek HD Sound or a Speaker Plugin HD.
Standard "Realtek(R)" cards may not work. (Virtual driver/spoofing solution in progress).
I run it in fullscreen and coins. this way you can enter your initials. you can even change the weather conditions and more. (Love the lightning) click on the grave to the left. in the Start screen Named (Ceased to exist).
It opens up a code box for different levels. (4 digit box). you get them no matter if you clear the screen or not in game. write them down if you want different stuff happening.
Doesn't have to go through your firewall when it asks. that's for the arcade setup only. Even with TP.
Some even can make it run without a plugin sound card but that's TP and it's Drivers only. standalone Won't. work
I am only doing this because I care. If you can't get your Aiming device working Run DemulShooter in standalone or TP. works 100% Thanks to argonlefou .) HERE
