Hi all,
After experiencing the joy of my game drive failing, I've been rebuilding and came across my Heretic II cd.
Why not, I thought, ought to look great on an X800 in highres, versus a Voodoo II of yore at 640x480.
Install, update, it runs...woohoo.
I quit to do something else, come back an try to load a saved game.
CRASH. Uh-oh, what gives?
Well, google is no help, save for the hereticII forums and no solution, but shared misery.
Only glimmer of hope was the app compatability tool, which failed miserbly (AFAICT).
Anyone out there have a 'hey, tried this, tweaked that or glimmer of hope' for me?
Tried it on NTFS drive, Fat32...no dice/difference.
I can find cheats, easily, but startup commands don't seem to be available, that I can find.
HELP, GESC. You're my only hope.
Heretic 2 No Cd Patch
Hexen 2: Portal of Praevus v1.21 ENGLISH No-CD Patch; Hexen 2 v1.11 ENGLISH No-CD Patch; Hexen 2: Portal of Praevus v1.21 ENGLISH No-CD Patch:: Joe. Note: This patch fixes 'No CD' issue also. Heretic II patching instructions. Steps: 1 Updates 1.1 Install 1.06 patch 2 Widescreen Mode 2.1 Copy contents of heretic-II-1080p-720p folder directly into your game directory 2.2 In order to play in '1920x1080' resolution select '1600x1200' in 'Video' menu and '1280x960' for '1280x720'. With the latest unofficial 1.0.7 patch, Heretic II supports both No CD and Widescreen Support. Sadly it doesn't support music, so even if this would be added to steam, the game would suffer like many id/raven products. You have to add music yourself, rip them, etc. This only works for Quake and Hexen II, but not for Heretic. For just patches for Heretic II you need both of these below. One is the Enhancement packv1.06 which can be found on 'FilePlanet for Heretic II game. The other patch was more of an Windows XP-Windows 10 'quake2.dll' fix for playing on other Windows versions other than Windows 95, which is what everyone used when the game first came out.
