ilozen: Yeah, I'm having the same issue as well (Win7) with the patch installed. Is someone doing something about it or did Gog decide again to do nothing with a broken game?
As usual they are doing nothing about it. You know it bloody pisses me off these people are selling a game to you and it doesn't work properly! I am so infuriated with gog that I will never buy anything from this site again! Voodooman: I wonder, why nobody from have skills to reverse engineer game. fix some broken outdated API calls that renders video in ugly overlay, apply interlacing and make it work like a charm? Few days or weeks with OllyDBG can fix this problem and many more problems with other old games on (
What i really hate about gog is the fact that they only capable to use third party fixes and solutions and barely able to make 1st party fix.
GOG really need to hire few old asm \ Reverse engineering DOS \ Windows gurus that will be able to fix everything by changing few bytes in game exes and dlls. Its not impossible! Just require knowledge and some time to fix!
Yes but in case you hadn't figured it out GOG is run by capitalist cowboys that just install old games on to a server for people to download. They make money from it and if you're lucky they include a third party fix.

I have bought Journeyman project 3 and the game doesn't entirely work properly, tomb raider 1 works fine, tr 2 has a sound looping problem, cutscenes without sounds and lack of fmv's, Tr 3 is probably the only other playable of the 3 minus the fmv's again of course!
GOG either don't test their games or they deliberately sell games that they know full well don't work properly, in spite of the fact their requirements list state that windows 7 works for example. NO IT BLOODY DOESN'T!
