I will LOVE you if you can Solve this Prob (now $3 PAYPAL REWARD!)

[CuriousAndy]

Running Duke Nukem 3D on Windows XP.

No it does not work in any combination of the compatibilty modes (win95, 98, ME, NT)
And no, I'm not about to format my HD or create dual boot with Win9x

If any of you guys out there can solve this prob and get Duke3D run on XP, I'll be in your debt forever

do you have 1.5 or 1.3d?



"1.3D works fine, but 1.5 freezes at the main menu. Only runs in VGA mode"

If you have 1.5, you can download 1.3 Here.... its shareware..

 

[CuriousAndy]

Full version is downloadable off Morpheus, and yes it is legal now because PCGamer already released the fullversion for distribution

I can both get Duke3d (v1.3) and Duke Atomic Edition (which bumps to v1.5 i believe)

and neither of them work last time i tried. doeesn't matter what version you have

[IshmaelLeaver]

did you try launching setup.exe and choosing 320x200 for the resolution?

 

[CuriousAndy]

I'm DLing the new Compatibility Update for XP from Windows Update. I think this will solve the problem.

Sorry, no PAYPAL FOR U! 😉

Here's the problem, Duke is a DOS game, not a windows game. I doubt you will ever get it to run in XP.
