Gamepad fix:

Good fix for the gamepad, But it's a whack when you trying to do aiming for looking around and shooting things

Yeah it's a loose turnaround. This game needs a remaster.
Hi everyone,

So with the french patch, all the series is now in...french (you don't say ?) which is great but...it completely messes up the menus in Soul Reaver 2...
Indeed the sound menu leads you to the keyboard one, the graphics menu to choose if you want the compass...

In english everything is fine except that the "trick" for using a controller in SR1 doesn't work here, so I'm considering finding PS2 copies of the rest of the saga (especially if they are so glitchy)

I really like you GOG but please, fix properly the games before releasing them :-/
I managed to get Soul Reaver running on Windows 10 64-bit 1909 by selecting the devices and not leaving it to a primary device.
Found another version of SRHook..
But I can't get higher resolutions to work. I tried all SRHook versions I could find.

Soul Reaver on moddb
Any known fix for Defiance's startup issues. I am being particularly bugged by an error msg suggesting execution can only proceed after entering the original CD. I have a GOG version.

Thanks

Hello there guys!

After I purchased all the available games from Legacy of Kain series here in GoG, I wanted to start playing Blood Omen 2.

I already tried all the suggestions here in this forum and what GoG technical instructions are referring to and I still cannot make the game run.

I have Windows 10 1909 version installed and 2K resolution monitor.

What happens, is that each time I press PLAY from GoG Galaxy or the .exe file, a black screen appears and does not let me do anything. I do not hear a sound, I cannot use ALT+TAB to close it or ALT+F4. I have to press the Windows button from my keyboard and select Restart.

I tried all the possible configurations in compatibility tab and other various methods but in best case I was just able to see a message from windows "this program stopped responding" which prevent me to restart the PC because I was able to select "close the program".

Anyone had a similar issue and managed to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

You should update win 10 to 20H2 asap. It will keep things going good.. That said I used the fixes here and the game looks bad. On a good note the game has been taken down from steam saying SE is doing some updates on it. Hopefully that will come here also .

Is the PC version of Blood Omen 2 less buggy than the PS2 version?

It kinda sounds like it is best to go this way for less bugs/crashing:

Soul Reaver - Dreamcast version
Soul Reaver 2 - PS2 version
Blood Omen 2 - PC version
Defiance - PS2 version

I am getting pretty comfortable playing Soul Reaver on the PC though.

Yes, unfortunately whole Square Enix forums were nuked some time ago and only Final Fantasy stuff remained.
This means that most of the stuff I linked to is gone.
Man, I really need to find some time to update this thread :-/.

Some of them have the information on web.archive.org. Maybe the dead links can go into a dead links section if people want to try and search for the info themselves.
I am trying to create an archive of old games for when my PS2 and 3 finally die, and I would really like to fix the Axis issues with gamepads like the Xbox Series X controller. All I see are PS3 and 4 controller functionality in these patches. Will these fix a Series X controller axis issues with this game, and also will these fix the axis on a PS3 or 4 controller besides? Sorry if this reads convoluted, but I don't really like using anti-macro just to fix the analogue issues these games have with current gen controllers; furthermore, I hate digital input on analogue interfaces.
Andddddd......
These titles are on sale, I just bought them, but they cant be downloaded?
And when I went to get a refund, I get a ChatBox?
WTF gog?
Gave you another chance, and you just blew it.
