Discworld Noir - abandonware - Page 4

On topic, I bought Discworld Noir and quite happy with it, don't even wanna know about horrible cd-rip versions. At least if you gotta pirate a game, do it correctly and make a ISO

The Underd*gs had Noir a while ago, for some weird reason. Don't know about the current situation.

They've got Sanitarium and both System Shocks (among others) and that definitely isn't right, so I don't think Noir will be.

Yeees, that's what spawned this whole thread, silly.

If you've seen my post on freeware, you already know how I stand on this. If they wont sell it, and people want it, then people will take it. If they sell it, then by all means buy it, but if they don't....well what else can you do?

Guess we'll all just have to agree to disagree on this one.

hmm should i play part 1 and 2 before noir?

Aye, I would love to play the first and second games after hearing a sample of the soundtrack. However, the difficulty comes in 1) obtaining them, and 2) making them work with xp. Any suggestions? =(

I have the game here, but I'm considering selling it because it doesn't work on Windows XP. Yes, it's original, sheesh

MDMaster · 11-14-2004, 04:15 AM

It works fine on my XP, I actually played and finished it here. As long as you don't save or load your game from the main menu, it's fine.

Huh. I can't even install the damn thing.

I had the same issue, but one or more of the following fixed it:

1) Running the installer (and subsequently playing the game) while logged in as Administrator (or a user with admin rights).
2) Setting the installer to Windows 98 compatibility mode, then running it.

Sorry I can't remember precisely what fixed it, but it was one of them, anyway!

I think it was the second method... but that's just a guess
