Okay, I bought the SK version from GoG, installed in a "friendly" location (i.e. NOT the profram files folder), everything smoothly so far.
Start the game and during the videos there's already a.. how to put it... palette fail, much green and large squares... through the intro video, people are only visible half-way, the creeping darkness is bright red - you get the idea. and still many square-like specks having the wrong colours.
When I finally entered the game, same thing happens - the graphics are mainly purple, very rough (pixelwise) and all the wrong colours.
Changed Shortcut Settings to 256 colours & admin mode. Helps with the videos greatly but one of two things occur during the game:
One: every bright or lighted area has wrong colours, large pixels and purple in it, (i.e. lamp shadows on the walls, shadowlords helmet & chestpiece during furst appearance etc)
Two: Same as before, entire screen filled with purple and other large pixels. I can still make out most of the things, but it is a pain to play.
ESC-ing resets this problem back to level 1, as does changing levels, but only for a limited time - at some point it will return to the mess-up.
Other things I tried: Change Graphics Mode by hand and with the Setup Program provided, changed from surface to openGL - no graphics at all, only black screen with sound, direct3d - no change whatsoever.
Using Win7 Home Premium 64 and pretty annoyed by this, would be happy if someone could help =)
