Hi, I'm running the Battle Isle Platinum Package on Windows XP SP3, my PC is an Athlon 2400+, 1,5 GB RAM, Radeon AGP HD 3450 graphics card. I have Catalyst 11.7 AGP Hotfix installed.
My problem: The videos in Battle Isle 3 don't play, I get no image, but sound. It shows something like IGP32 can't be decomprimied" (sorry, don't want to give the real German error message here, you wouldn't understand, I guess).
I think the Platinum package was a bad purchase, the worst one I made on gog.com so far.
I made it although I already have the CD-ROM version of the package because I wanted to be able to play those games on XP. As it turns out, it doesn't work with most of them, and I've gotten my own German version of Battle Isle 2 to run in DosBOX.
So, my other problem: Incubation lags terribly, is practically unplayable. I think this is because the glide wrapper doesn't work well. And in the gog-version you can't change to software mode contrary to my own CD-version.
Pretty badly ported, I think.
I thought it would work as well as I-WAR, where the gog-version functions pretty well (also a 3DFX-Glide game). But this is absolutely not the case. The gog version just works as bad as my own CD-ROM version with glide wrapper.
Hope gog releases some patches for Incubation, and provides the codecs you need to play those BI3 videos on the product page! Please do so, this one is the worst package you offer so far!
