Urban Runner & Gabriel Knight 2 - On XP.

Dasilva · 01-29-2007, 10:56 AM

Hey ya'll,

I'm having a mission impossible to get Gabriel Knight 2 & Urban Runner to work on XP. Their both FMV Sierra adventure games, so I'm guessing if I get one to work, it would work on the other.

Thanks in advance.

For GK2, see this site.

Still, I'm sure you could get it to work just by playing with compatibility modes. What error are you getting?

I got Gabriel Knight 2 to work on my XP with the download from the site Kurufinwe linked to. No problem at all.
(I actually finished it 10 minutes ago and it was a great game!

)

I'm actually more keen on running Urban Runner, I try to run it/install it, it just doesnt do anything, not even an error.

And compatibility modes don't do anything?

A Google search also turned up this, though I've never heard about this before.

(BTW, Urban Runner is from Coktel, whereas GK2 is from Sierra; while I understand they both use the Sierra installer, they don't use the same engine, so getting Urban Runner installed doesn't mean it'll run)
