I doubt this thread will get to cover every issue that gets reported, seeing there are so many different computer configurations, but hopefully, some general pointers will be of use to the majority.

ISSUE 1: THE NEW WEBSITE DOESN"T RESPOND TO BUTTON CLICKS
This is likely due to you running an older browser. Please ensure that you've upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 (or the latest version of whichever browser you use). Then reload the site and all of the button links should be fully clickable.

ISSUE 2: GAMEPLAY SPEED ON DUAL CORE SYSTEMS
Duel Core systems might not handle AGS games well at higher resolutions. You should ensure that the game is set to the intended resolution of 320x200 mode and no higher in the settings (available from the launcher menu). If your system can't display 320x200 mode, click the 'letterbox mode' check-box in the settings program to run in 320x240 instead. You may need to check the 'CRT monitor' box as well.

If you switch to a higher resolution with a Duel Core system, it will run very slowly and the game speed slider tends to make no difference. The slowness will be particularly noticeable in fast-paced scenes like combat. The solution is to make sure you always run the game at 320x200 or 320x240. Higher resolutions won't make the game look better anyhow and only cause additional slowdown. You could also try the "2x-nearest-neighbor' filter in the settings to see if that helps.

Downloading and installing Windows Service Pack 3 may be of benefit too


ISSUE 3: SOUND CONTINUES AFTER THE GAME IS EXITED
Changing the sound driver in the game's setup might solve this issue.


ISSUE 4: HOW DO I IMPORT MY QUEST FOR GLORY I SAVED CHARACTER INTO THE REMAKE?
To import your Quest for Glory I character, you will first need to copy the .sav file into the Quest for Glory II remake directory on your hard drive. When you click the Import button from the Quest for Glory II title screen, a list of .sav files located in the game directory will be displayed for you to choose from. You may select the one that you wish to import into Trial by Fire.


ISSUE 5: THE AGDI MOVIE FREEZES SHORTLY AFTER IT BEGINS PLAYING (OR REMAINS BLACK AND DOESN'T PLAY AT ALL.)
This is very likely an issue relating to DirectShow attempting to render the cut-scene's video stream using the FFDShow filters on your system. In order to fix the problem, you will need to tell FFDShow to ignore the Quest for Glory II remake application, so that it will not use the FFDShow filters to render movies in the game.

Assuming that you don't have a "Configure FFDShow" shortcut somewhere in your Start Menu or desktop, you will need to create one. Firstly, find out where FFDShow is installed on your system. The file is called ffdshow.ax. Perform a search for that file and note the location. If FFDShow was installed to its typical directory on your system, then its location should be in C:\Program Files\ffdshow

Once you have located ffdshow.ax, create a shortcut to it on your desktop. Then right-click the shortcut and, from the menu, click on "Properties" to go to the new shortcut's properties page. Add the text (rundll32.exe) to the start of the Target box, and (,configure) to the end, both without the parenthesis. It should appear something like:

Target:
rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\FFDShow\ffdshow.ax",configure

Press OK. Double-click the shortcut.


Next, go to the "Info & debug" panel and tick the "Don't use ffdshow in" box. If there's nothing in the box beneath the checkbox, simply type in Qfg2vga.exe. If there's already something listed there, just put a semicolon between the last entry and your new Qfg2vga.exe entry. For example:

explorer.exe;movplay.exe;Qfg2vga.exe

Apply the settings, and then run the game again. Things should work correctly now.

ISSUE 6: UHURA'S COMBAT TUTORIAL GETS STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP AND I CAN'T PRESS ESCAPE TO EXIT.
If you're stuck in the "endless loop" in Uhura's tutorial because your laptop doesn't have a numeric keypad, try this: somewhere on your keyboard there should be "Home", "Page Up", "Page Down", and "End" keys. They should be mapped by default as:

Home: Swing
Page Up: Stab
Page Down: Dodge Right
End: Dodge Left

Simply press the above keys to get through the tutorial and then redefine your combat keys from the options menu after the tutorial has ended.

ISSUE 7: MY SYSTEM CANNOT DISPLAY THE GAME PROPERLY AT THE NATIVE 320X200 RESOLUTION.
Run winsetup.exe in the game folder (this is also accessible by clicking the 'Setup' button from the menu launcher) and instead of selecting a higher resolution, try selecting the '2x nearest-neighbour filter' from the 'graphics filers' drop-down menu instead.

ISSUE 8: I'M RUNNING VISTA AND WHEN I EXPORT MY HERO AFTER FINISHING THE GAME, I CAN'T FIND THE .SAV FILE.
To find the .sav file you need to open up the Quest for Glory II directory. Once that is done, if you look under the search bar there is a button that says "Compatibility Files" that is next to the Burn Button. If you click on it you should be able to see the import file. If that doesn't work, try an advance search that includes all hidden folders.

AGC1, ADC2, Erpy and team,

I’d like to start by thanking you for a simply amazing and, I must admit, somewhat nostalgic creation. What you’ve accomplished is simply nothing short of tier 1 developer. The 3D animation/cut scene at the start is one of many great examples.

Unfortunately, even a software powerhouse like ID or BioWare releases software with bugs. I have such an issue.

The game, particularly fighting scenes, runs extremely slowly on my PC. Too slow to actually play. Thus far I’ve enjoyed the game by playing at 320 x 200 with 16bit colour, but the fighting scenes are still far too slow to be playable.

I have a Pentium IV 2.8Gz and a Direct X 9.0c video card. I’m assuming that if I can run Doom III, that I should also be able to run this game. I know you’ve addressed this issue above, but I’ve taken your advice and the issue remains. Any more tips or a potential patch… please!!

Thank you

Are you running Windows XP? If so, have you ensured that you've installed the latest service pack (SP3)? I know the P4 can be run in a dual core mode, and Dual Core wasn't supported properly until SP2.

Yes I have a Windows XP SP3 machine. I'm running the game using the following settings:

320 x 200
No graphics filter
Downgrade 32-bit graphics to 16bit
DirectSound [Hardware mixer]
Win32 MIDI Mapper

Any help would be great please. I've been waiting so long for this game! Thank you.

try turning off the 32bit to 16 bit downgrade.

Game behaves funny when switching windows with Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Escape

This happened to me when I wanted to access the map during the beginning of the game. When I simply pressed the Microsoft key on the keyboard, I was able to switch out and back with no problems (Vista 64-bit Ultimate).

Hi all

I was wondering why certain video cards can't do the 320 x 200 @ 32bit or even 320 x 240 @ 32bit? I've got a 256Mb 6800GT and it can't run QFG2VGA at those resolutions.

My laptop Inspiron 9300 with 6800GT Go can do those res with no problems.

I am running the latest drivers etc.

If this is in the wrong place to post this, sorry and would you point me to the right thread?

I’m very excited to play this game… as soon as I get it working. My computer know how is very limited so please bear with me. After downloading trying to start the game would result in an error saying, “there was a problem initializing graphics mode…” So I guessed this was what the above “issue 7”. After doing that I got just a black screen but with music so I looked to “issue 5” for help. Following those instructions I find that the ffdshow file is part of a codec pack I downloaded (called combined community codec pack). I try to alter the target as instructed but gives me a popup saying its not valid. So I’m stuck. Help? Pretty please?

Try downloading this file and replacing it in your game directory. Just choose 'Yes' when it asks you to overwrite the existing file:

AGDI.001 Movie Logo

Let me know if this works or not.

yes, I can see movie logo. I think I just tried what you sujested but still no picture.

Make sure you have the latest version of DirecxtX installed and also the latest version of your video card's drivers. You should be able to find both online.

You might also, try running the game in 320x200 mode, but using the '2x nearest-neighbour' filter as mentioned above for Issue #2. Checking the option box for "Use 85Hz Display" might also be worth a try.

Also, have you tried changing the 'Graphics driver' setting to something else in the winsetup.exe program?

okay, I updated DirecxtX and my dirvers. And it works now! Thankyou so much.

Is there any command line switch I can add to auto-lock the mouse to the game window? I play it windowed and would really like it.

Hi there. I'm having a bit of a problem with QFG2VGA and I was wondering if I could get some help.

I'm running QFG2 on a 2007 Macbook in Windows XP under Boot Camp, using the default settings. For the most part it runs really well. The problem is when I move the mouse cursor up to the drop down bar and then back down to the screen. Going up the screen lightens, and going down the screen darkens. If I do this repeatedly it becomes drastic, to the point where the colors are completely inverted going down or completely washed out going up. Going to the save dialogue resets the colors, but it still makes the game almost unplayable because I check my stats and inventory and cast spells rather often.

I have the latest version of DirectX... is there something else I could be missing? I just put Windows on this computer. I haven't tried the latest version yet but I will now (luckily I'm only on Day 1!).

Thank you!

EDIT: So I tried the new version, but still get the weird tint problem. It only starts occurring after I've been playing for 15 minutes or so.

Also, the game now freezes when I save, but forcing a minimize with the apple (er, windows) key and reentering the game unfreezes it.

Ive tried every setting and cant get this thing to work. My computer is able to run premium graphics content on a lot of new games so not sure whats up with this. All my drivers etc are all up to date.

Try running the setup program and using the 2x Nearest-Neighbour graphic filter from the drop-down menu. Failing that, use no filter from the drop-down menu, but change the game resolution to 640x400 and see if that helps.

Ok, i made a little loader that could fix the dual core issue. Normally, i could just do ctrl-alt-del and then set the affinity to one cpu but sometime when i do that, the game shut down without warning, even with the 1.1 version.

It use a hotkey so just run the loader and press F11 within the game and the process should set itself to one cpu only.

Oh and thanx again to all who made this remake come to life.
