System Shock 2
- Thread starter Albatross
- Start date
lol and if you bothered to read his post you would know that its a freeware so why on earth would I wanna buy it even if it is in stores?
Now I got a question for those who downloaded it. I got Win XP and the sound doesnt work, what do i do? I downloaded Win XP fix but it says NO CD. How do I get that to work?

Great game really (not as good as Deus EX, and not as scary as thief, but strikes a nice balance 
)
Revival doesn't seem to do much for the game, i don't think the models are "ugly", but they're not much of an improvement either.
I tried playing the first one a little while ago, Yes, it's terribly outdated, but i managed to get a few hours into it, pretty great game seein as how old it is (what i just can't get myself to play is Wasteland, a pity, seein as i play even nethack)

It should be in the accessories folder of your start menu, but I'll give you an easier way to do it instead: Write down the directory where you have the game. Go to the start menu, click the "run" icon, then type in the location of the game followed by the setup command, then hit the OK button. So it will look sort of like this:
"C:\sshock2\setup.exe -lgntforce"
Last, find the game directory, find a file called "SHOCK.CFG", open it, and add this line exactly as written then save:
safe_texture_manager
Here is the patch: http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/systemshock2/shkpatch.exe.html
As for a no-cd crack - can't help you with that one, I wouldn't know where to find it. You shouldn't need an XP specific patch if you set it up this way, so maybe you won't need a no-cd file.
Ok, I did it all, installed it with the -lgntforce and put safe_texture_manager at the end of shock.cfg document and the game runs great but still there is no sound. When I try to install the patch, it says Cannot Determine Installation Directory Ensure The Game Is Installed Properly And Try Again. I dont know what the hell is going on
For the sound thing, right click on shock2.exe and go to "Properties". Find the compatibility tab, check it and set it to windows 95. If that doesn't fix it, try setting it to windows 98. That should take care of it.
For the patch, it sounds like either the game wasn't installed to a defualt directory or the patch needs to be run in the directory. Copy the patch file to the game directory and run it, see if that works. If not, don't worry about it - the patch mainly added multiplayer features and fixed a few small bugs, you can play the game fine without it.

They've got everything pretty much covered.

The sound doesnt work no matter what system i try in compatibility, everything else works fine. I'm thinking that the update is what I need. I think that the patch is supposed to go to a default game directory. Since I downloaded my game from the net maybe it does not automatically create such directory. Do you know what that directory is? Maybe I could extract the game there and try
