Yes. I'm mid-way through the game now on my Win 7 64-bit machine.

The only thing I would suggest changing before you run the game is a single line in the configuration file. Look for dosboxbak.conf in the Betrayal at Krondor install folder, make a backup copy of it just to be safe, and then open it with a text editor (like Notepad). Look for the line that says "aspect=false" and change it to "aspect=true". This will force the game to run at a 4:3 aspect ratio even though its resolution, 320x200, is not actually 4:3. If you leave "aspect=false" then the game will be stretched horizonatlly ever so slightly... you can see this when you look at the GOG screenshots, and see that the character portraits at the bottom are ovals instead of circles. Setting "aspect-true" fixes this perfectly.

That's all you need to get it running great! If you want to dig deeper you can mess with the music settings as per this thread:

But that's certainly not necessary.

Thanks for this, but I was referring to RtK, not BaK (just mentioned that as well because I played it way back). My bad for not specifying, somehow slipped my mind that I was on a series forum section and not one for the game itself.

No problem! It's easy to miss that the sub-forum is for the whole series, not just one game.

Unfortunately, I've never tried Return to Krondor so I can't help you. Anyone else know if it runs on Win 7?

I just bought BaK package and got ERROR on install. NOT COMPATABLE with 64 bit OS. Windows-7 Pro. This has been the issue with ALL the GOG games. Seven or more....Tried running on 32 bit and still get errors. The original game ran OK on Win-3.0 and even XP, with a 2mhz single processor, but on this 4+mhz, quad-core, it will not load and of course there does not appear to be any FIX that will address the issues. The HYPE said it will run on 64-bit, and did not mention having to reverse engineer the codex. All the KQ series is same way. Antara was a great game in its day, VERY disspointed with GOG misleading hype.

It did not work for me. I have tried 32 and 64 bit OS, W-7 Pro, which is supposed to run OLD software, written for XP, but fails to do so most of the time. The GOG games are described in such a way as to get us old geezers excited and buy, then hang out to dry with little or NO support. Seems there is only ONE honcho that can authorized or explain why the bugs and compat issues are NOT fixed. IF THEY know how to do them, I suggested they make a batch file that will install the changes they say will remedy the problem. BUT NOOOO. I just got suckered into buying Betrayal package, and after several attempts at DL, then install, after disagreeing to allow SNOOPER cokkies, and spyware, I got error message that it is NOT compatable with 64-bit, and I would have to reconfigure my system to shut off 7 of my cores, slow the clock/timer from 4mhz to less than 2, and make some other changes that boggle my old mind. My computer skills are limited to 50 years working on these boxes, and I feel cheated by the bogus claims in the hype. Makes me feel like a dummy not wanting to re-gress my machine.

Technically RtK is written for Win 98, and these are quite a pain. And yeah, no idea about 64-bit, but I can say it works on 32-bit on a 3 GHz dual-core. At least worked through the first part, just got that far to test it, then left it in backlog, if at the top of the order. (So does KoDP despite the Logitech drivers btw, was told probably because they're the very old version and it's just the crappy newer ones (that I tried at some point and quickly ran back away from) that block that. By the way, asked them about that before buying it and was told that if I do buy it it'll be on their risk and if I'll find it won't work they'll refund it no questions asked. So try working with them nicely from step 1 of the way next time.)

What snooper cookies and spyware are you referring to? No need to install anything to download stuff if you don't want to, though admittedly if your connection isn't fast and stable it seems you'll run into problems, yeah. Personally downloaded the 35 games I have and all extras without problems (downloaded all when I meant to get the hell away from here over the regional pricing thing, before they decided to at least sort of meet us halfway on that and I could come back).

Is that actually shut off cores or simply set affinity make sure the game will only use the first one? Because yeah, needing to actually throttle your computer to play a game would be unacceptable, but remember needing to do the affinity thing for (retail) Morrowind too for example, that's not a problem.

Found that IF we use the Windows DL, vs GOG, then it installs, but slow. My ISP is 6mps or better, and solid connection over dual channel router. WI_FI and hard wire. THEN, chose the BiA game instead of Krondor which is the default. However, the game still crashes at end of Chpter One, when Willie is talking to his mom, well into the conversation. It appears to be AUDIO codex related, but ATM have not isolated cause. Error sent to the idiots at MS fub never have got a reply in the year or so I have been waiting. In fact, over the 20+ years using MS Software, I never have got a resolution. I suspect their HELP/Report link is a dodge, aka boon-doggle. You would think that GOG programers would have fixed these issues while adapting the games to run on modern rigs. That said, I DL the game to my OLD Compaq laptop, sigle core XP Home OS, and it runs OK. Albeit, have not got to the cut scene atm.

Er, I was talking about Return to Krondor, you're talking about the BaK/BiA bundle. Wouldn't know of that. (And of course you won't get any reply from MS for those reports, those are just sent to be analyzed in case they're frequent enough for OS patches to need to be issued.)
