Yep, that's how all the Dungeon Keeper Games are.

Does Right click > Save as work?

I'm in the clear right? No.

(Game knowledge is needed to understand what I'm about to describe.)

Whenever I start a campaign or Pet Dungeon, the game toolbar pops up on the bottom of the screen as it should, and the narrator guides me through the objectives. HOWEVER, there's no dungeon to be seen. Cursors, buttons, tabs, options, life bar, message bar, everything is there... except the dungeon.

And YES I tried clicking on the Heart symbol by the life counter, and I also clicked the map on the lower left hand corner. Nothing. When i move my cursor around, it changes from hand to hammer, as if hovering over the dungeon, but all I see is blackness.

And I apologize for being redundant. Just trying to be clear.

Now what?

Oh and thank you for posting the link to the game. I cant wait to get it up and running correctly!

Hi, as i see you kinda ... ignored those two. I am pushing that problem, because i have the same.

I played DKII a lot, I bought it when it came out, lost it, bought it again in 2002 then I seem to have it lost again! Now I downloaded this. First times I played it on Win98, when I got XP I installed it there, worked just fine, also I didnt know anybody had problems with XP.

Maybe 2 Months ago I had a nice small LAN with three of my friends, playing DKII aaall the time. Its one of the best LAN games ever IMHO.

Maybe one Month ago I decided to buy my well planned Computer Parts, to upgrade my pc. I had a Intel Pentium 4 with 2.4 GHz and an ATI Radeon 9600, and 1Gigabyte of RAM.

NOW I bought myself a new Motherboard to fit the 2x OCZ Platinum 1Gig Ram (2x 1 Gig), the Intel Core2 Duo E8600 with 2x 3.33Ghz and the ATI Radeon HD3870.
I have newest Drivers for everything.
Now I get this problem, all the 3dimensional GFX is plain black.
Everything is running, I can even start a game, the Narrator talks and the cursor changes its shape to a Hammer when I seem to go over earth. But I cant see anything except the Menu stuff and the Bars ingame... and the Cursor, heres a screenshot from the Main menu(klick for bigger view):



You can´t see the Cursor, I dont know why, its at singleplayer, I saw it ingame.

So I tryed everything to solve the Problem, I´m not a PC newb or something, I think he doesnt recognize the new 3D Drivers and Hardware, so he isnt using it. But there MUST be a solvage for it, isnt there a possablility to emulate a bad GPU?

Ah yes also I tryed everything shown here, it didnt help me, but im shure it will hel ALOT of ppl here!

Very Important DKII Fixing Stuff! Watch this!: Dungeon Keeper II Fix for XP - The 404 Forums "Asylum"

also I found a still alive DKII Community!, but it seems to be french -.-:

Dungeon-Keeper.net : Ultimate Keeper's Portal - Accueil

You can find the DKII patches there.

I hope anyone knows an Idea how to fix the Problem, im now trying the last thing i still didnt try, to do a virtual Machine with Win98, i got it already running, also i installed Win98 on it already, now i only have to burn a cd to try it.


Greetings, Daedalus

EDIT: I found out, that DKII needs 3dfx support. Newer GFX-Cards dont have that. But there are Emulators wich emulate a 3dfx support. They are called "Glide Wrappers", the best one should be Zeckensack´s, but i cant get it working, theres a configuration and a Readme. But nowhere an Exe to start it. Also the Manual says nothing about hoe to let it run.
