Hoping someone can help me as I have hit a bit of a brick wall
I have managed to get UAKM & TPD running via DosBox fine. However Overseer is a Windows game so it cannot be installed the same way
The GOG version just hangs on an 'Overseer.exe' has stopped working - I have managed to get a Direct Draw Failed error (Set Display Mode Failed) that is perhaps the closes I have been
I have tried all compatibility settings, fiddled with my NVIDEA 3D display settings, all to no avail
I have also noticed when I try to unzip the TMO Patch I get an error saying the game has not been installed correctly and the files will not unzip
I have the downloaded GOG version, the DVD files and the original physical game all to hand - unable to get any to work.
Any help would be appreciated
it will work on windows 10 but it needs a bit of tweaking. I have it running fine on my surface pro 4 but it needs a file which works like a virtual video card.
http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2.html use version 2.5 jan 2016.
once extracted copy the file from the MS folder into the gog folder.
this will create a video card and you see it installed in the overseer control panel instead of showing default video card. this will only fix the graphics. you should run overseer as administrator & with windows 98 compatibility mode. Please note if you try overseer through gog galazy it will not run, only run it for the downloaded exe file. the patches you installed have already been applied so it wasn't needed. the only patch you can install is the new mpg 2 decoder software but we won't worry about it as yet until you fix up this part.
not sure what pc you are trying to use so we will see if this works for you.
