Hello all,
I have 3 old Win98SE systems that I play all my old games on. One has a TNT card, one has a Matrox G200, and one has a G400 with Voodoo2 SLI. I have been trying to play Prophecy (Original Prophecy Gold CD version NOT GOG version) with the HiRes movies and I am having the same problem on all 3 systems. The game plays fine in HiRes but the .VOB movies don't. When a movie is supposed to play the audio plays but the screen is black or it will kick over to a low res movie which plays fine.
The HiRes movies play fine outside the game using a media player such as VLC. If I switch over to subtitles in the game options the video crashes immediately with a .dll page fault error. It's the same symptoms on all 3 systems. Is the HiRes patch not compatible with Win98SE? The fact that it plays in VLC and plays audio without picture makes me think that it's a problem with a call to the mpeg2 codec (mpeg2decfilter.ax)
I have followed all the standard installation steps (several times)
1. install movies in "movie" folder
2. install enhancement pack
3. install moviepatch test release file
4. install mpeg2dec codec (in both win system folder and prophecy folder) received "success" message.
5. installed ac3filter
Does anybody have any other suggestions for getting the videos running?
Relevant specs are listed above, and running DX 8.1 on all systems (not willing to change), one AWE64 and 2 SB Lives
