Any known problems running King's Field on Windows 7?
« on: December 17, 2011, 10:40:55 am »
I was just wondering if anyone know if there will be any problems running the SoM version of King's Field (translated version) on Windows 7 and if so, are there any neat solutions to these, if any, problems?

I have not had any problems playng SoM games on Win7, and I've only had a few minor problems with SoM itself but they where easy fixes. It's nice to see new people here, I hope ya stick around.  :beerchug:
Yeah, I'm still around. I haven't much to say anymore however I do lurk around here. :ninja:

Godt å se andre skandinaviere også, for den saks skyld. :beerchug:

Hah, den hadde jeg ikke regnet med, John! :D

Okay, should probably get this thread back to English now...

The only problems you may run into are running the videos, if you use my version i uploaded the vids have been redone in an indeo codec which I believe is not supported by Windows 7.

If you load it and the opening movie plays, youre in business!

Everything seems to be running fine, even the movies, but my computer, which is a gaming beast, sounds like saw-mill when I play this game which makes me really nervous...

Under the system menu there are quite a few different options for graphics acceleration, you may want to switch it to hardware/software based and see what runs better.

Im not sure what resolution youre playing in but that may have a pretty factor as well.

Im told that a project called SomEx may help adapt SOM made games for better graphical play on some systems, but to get more information on that platform you'll have to visit the forums here:

The site owner there has been updating that software for quite some time and it likely would improve any graphics issues you may have.

I played the SoM version of King's Field 1
And its no wear near as good as the original King's Field 1 >_>
the enemies are all chumps in the SoM version and the npcs are less fancy
