Thanks!
I am so excited, going to try and get this working today. I've had this game for years now and a couple times a year try to get it working but the underwater bug always hits me. Thank you for putting this in one place, it should be a sticky.
Yeah this got it working and I can see underwater but anybody else having the problem where you can't use your mouse on the bottom right half of the screen. I can't use the merchants because of this?

I uploaded it at the time, but didn't really know what I was doing. I would strongly suggest just going to the Youtube video mentioned above, and then go to the PC Gaming Wiki site for No One Lives Forever to get the correct files you need to fix the black screen issue. It wasn't an installer or anything, it was just a collection of everything you needed listed in this thread in one zip folder.
Awesome. I would like to point out the game without proper patching displayed the very same symptoms in Windows 7 pro. Thank you for putting this information up and thanks to the original authors for these fixes.
Hi all. Does anyone know if the NOLF underwater fix still works? It's an installer now, rather than a .dll file.
How do i dismiss a member of the party?
Forad Darra for example.
Unfortunately I cant even get the game to run after purchasing it. I was hoping this thread would have the solutions I needed, but as the game is already patched to 1.3a, I can't seem to find anything else to correct my issues. On Windows 10, the game will not even start. I get a tiny black window after launching the application, which quickly disappears, and then nothing happens.

I understand that GOG is just selling the game as it was originally published, but a shame for the customer who spends the money unknowingly and then just can't access the game at all.

If anyone is familiar with a fix for this, I would be happy to hop in a discord call/PM for assistance.

Your headset might be the issue. Look at the solution at the end of this thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/might_and_magic_series/mm9_doesnt_start_under_windows_10

If this is the case, you need to disconnect the headset physically (disabling it in control panel is nnot enough).
This fix is not my idea, but it worked for me and I hope it works for you too.

You cannot dismiss him. You will undestand later.

The game is not sold as originally published, it has the unnoficial TELP patch bundled and it runs under a configurable dx1-8 wrapper to make it more compatible with modern systems. You can even up the resolution from the original vanilla 800x600.

Unfortunately NONE of those files exist anymore on Zippyshare etc.

Your comprehensive Fix pack was the last hope, and now that's gone as well.
