Will people stop complaining that the port sucks and stop rating it low, it's your fault for not reading the system requirements. But never mind that, can they make it work with Win 7?

Go play "hide and fck your self". When I bought the game the page said and now look what we got :]
Sorry for being rude son but I hate when somebody tells me to calm down when I've been screwed over.

I'll never understand why some people who are lucky and have no problems with a game just can't seem to stand it when a majority of other people have technical problems with it. We don't complain that you're lucky and we don't want to mock you, we just want our problems solved. Is this really that insulting to you? :P

It said " Windows 7 " before it was removed from the main site

Silly member!

Clearly shows windows 7 which was magically removed after it become apparent that it wasn't so compatible...

Wow, rude replies or what? First off, I haven't purchased this game, nor was I around when this was first released, I was on vacation and got back yesterday. So I didn't know it stated it was Windows 7 compatible originally. And also, what I write was completely justified on info that I had.

Ok man, no problem. The situation here now is a little bit twitchy and any attempts to justify GoG are getting flamed. So my apologies for the rude language.

Im so glad a lot of people are apologising as I was just thinking to myself "should I ever comment again?, when all that will happen will be grief fired at me !"

I will have my opinion though, and I do feel GOG should have a disclaimer about Bugs and running games. The site is all about Good Old Games, and there is no doubt DK2 is up ther e in the GOG league table on best games ever. But as everyone states it was buggy when it came out and it was buggy by the time the last patch came out.

GOG wont fix bugs, they have cetain input I am sure, and will make a game run as best as possible under new Hardware, but if a bug is in a games engine, or in the code itself, then pretty much this is where problems on responsibility starts.

I have close to 100 games bought here - all in a different state of running and rarely complain as I look at old games as being a reminising thing / hobby (much like emulation). I have an old PIII processor still set up with an old Millenium 2 graphic card to get the best of my old games, and many people are buying EEC machines and scrubbing the Op system and putting Win 95 / 98 on them to play games

Its like making a game console for yourself.

So GOG, all the people here I respect a lot, and understand there woe's. Please listen to my words and consider a mission statement - something that reads - "bugs in the game as of Patch ### still are in the game and GOG can do little to rectify the state of the game code"

Something like that anyway

P.S. yep i bought the game, and yes I have issues on my newest PC with it, but only slight issues on my oldest PC

My problem is that NOTHING has been done to make the game perform better on new HW. I own the original and been waiting from the begging of GoG for this release (and for System Shock 2), as the original is unplayable on My PC. And lookie here, now I got Me self a 2'nd unplayable copy. I know that DK2 had problems, but back at the time of it's release I don't recall the game to perform SO badly. And if GoG can't make the games perform well on today computers (aside from regular ingame bugs) than is SHOULD NOT RELEASE them. This no quest bug IT'S A STABILITY ISSUE. If this can't be handled with dosbox or dxwnd and they can modify the exe properly that it should newer get on this site.

normally I would agree but it originally said windows 7

And gogs mantra is old games on modern computers.

not old games on old operating systems.

Yup, realised it later on, my bad.
It clearly wasn't fully tested before release, GOG trusted EA I guess and didn't check it out themselves. I am sure EA said 'suuuure, it works fine on Win 7 now!!!!' *runs and takes the Polish money quickly*. All other EA games were DOS so that was easy enough to work with, but this? Hopefully GOG checks it throughly for now on. EA can't be trusted.

It works just fine on some Windows 7 machines. You can't expect GoG to test it on 10 different machines with different hardware through 5 levels or more.

And I am not sure if it was meant to have working hardware rendering, but if it was not meant to work, then they could have mentioned that of course.

But they have written some Direct3D fixes that I havent tried for DK2. Something about installing older drivers.

On some... yes but there is a large amount of machines that it doesn't run completely.

AND WHY THE F**K NOT?!? This is what QUALITY ASSURANCE is for!! Your supposed to check you merchandise before you start to sell it. So stop your trolling and defending GoG. I really love those guys for what they achieved to this moment BUT this release is a disgrace for this portal. It isn't full featured (no other languages), it's unstable (and I don't give a shit that it was like that earlier). If someone sells you something you assume that it's good quality and if not than you are eligible for either a fix that makes the merchandise behave like advertised (nobody said of only software mode) or refund.
