If they have fixed the ingame videos in this release, that is good enough reason to buy it.

I have the boxed version as well and played the game through, oh I don't know, 10 years ago? I recall the videos wouldn't work already back then so I had to watch the videos separately with a media player to understand what happened in the story between the levels.

I've never read the books so the game story was a bit... odd.. to me, and I felt there were some issues with the gameplay, as a FPS game. But the atmosphere of the game was quite good, I e.g. liked the level where you were supposed to avoid that certain... evil entity that seemed to slowly engulf the whole level bit by bit.

Yeah I also noticed it didn't come with Finnish language support, but I decided to get it anyway. Luckily I understand English.

Great news!! I met it in a magazine at the time of its release, and I didn't get a chance to play it...but now I do!

Excellent news and perfect timing. I was getting tired of all those doom and gloom threads.

The videos work, the 3DFX work, the D3D mode work as well, and with the possibility for widescreen in the latter mode. There is even an alternative (more demanding) dx11 renderer available externally according to a link in PCGamingwiki site

But strangely even turning subtitles on editing an ini file, the subs are not shown. And being a single english release, well, can be a bit hard to fully understand for someone non mastering spoken english

Overall it is a solid release IMO

Just FYI. Currently the GOG version of Wheel of Time for MP has it looking at Gamespy in the INI file for servers. There are no servers there. WOTONI.COM does have servers running but two INI files must be edited to see those servers. Currently the owner of WOTONI who runs the servers is working to get them up to date as it also seems once the ini files are "updated" there is a version mismatch connecting to their servers. We are working on this issue.

Cool. Probably will pick this up. I have a soft spot for original Unreal-engine-based games.

I love being surprised when logging in. :D This is such an awesome addition to GOG's collection! Never thought I'd see this here. I still own the original disc. I remember enjoying playing this game. :) And the soundtrack is great too. Thank you, GOG / Nightdive Studios / Legend Entertainment!

You're welcome.

Not in for the multiplayer portion at all, personally, but nonetheless great to see people still willing to put in the effort to get it up and running (again).

Thank you for your helpful posts.
I have now bought the game thanks to your information.

In my childhood video games and Hollywood movies helped and encouraged me to learn English. Even my English teacher didn't know what "M.I.A." means, which I had learned from some Vietnam movies like Uncommon Valor (great movie BTW).

I see the same with my kids, their time on Youtube and playing some English games really seems to boost their knowledge of English, without taking a single lesson. Sure it is spotty to learn English that way, but at least it motivates one to do that.

I've never delved into the Wheel of Time series but have been meaning to for some time now. For fans of the franchise: would I be too confused if I started with this game? I really love the graphics and art, judging by the screenshots, and it sounds like it's pretty solid as a game.

Hah, it's one of my all time favorite fantasy FPS game ;)
Too bad there is no way for me to buy it (I asked a friend about a gift code and still waiting for his reply).

As for the "decent WOT game", well there is a chance just for that (see attached).

Wanted to give it a try but forgot until today.
Reminds me countless mods for UT and mission packs.

Didn't play Unreal1 - based games in more than a decade, also can't stomach FPS genre anymore beside STALKERs.
Still gonna give it a try.

Very happy to see this game here on GoG.

Unfortunately Malwarebytes tags as infected and quarantines wot.exe :(
The other thing is: I cannot get technical support for this game?
So, what to do next?
