The game works but I experience some gameplay issues in Windows 2000 that I haven't had before in Windows 98Se.
For example:
- cheat codes don't work.
- cannot seem to be able to attract Fireflies, Goblins, Rogues, Black Knights or Fallen Angels in the latter levels of the campaign
- random messages of "The Gods have accepted your sacrifice" without sacrificing anything (even got a Goblin this way!)

Other than that: Great game!

Using the 1.7 patch and a no-cd patch, it seems to work fine under Windows XP Home - I'm up to level 10 without a crash and I've got all the extra settings ticked and high quality graphics and sound options selected too. Under XP Pro, it still crashes. I also have a Bochs emulator running Win98 on my Windows XP Pro and it runs ok in that, but have to turn off some of the high quality settings.

I recently installed this after several years of it sitting on my shelf. I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 with 1024MB of RAM and a 2.8Ghz Intel Pentium 4 processor and Direct x 9.1. Ihave tried running this game with all of the options in compatability mode but when the initial intro movies have finished and the menu loads up, there is supposed to be a 3D background, this background flickers for a second and then all I can see is a black screen with the menu on. It is the same in-game also, except all I see is the tool-tips in the top right corner.

I installed normally, then used the patch to upgrade to 1.7. After that I used a no CD patch. This allowed me to set the compatibility mode to "Windows 98" without any crashes when I run the game. Inside the game, it is a little laggy in the menus, but once you get in the game it runs fast. Also, if you keep the DK2 CD in your drive, it will still play all of the cutscene movies.

No way in hell does this work in XP. Regardless of the amount of tweaks you try, it is still a crasher.

It works at me too, but just for a short time, it crashs after 5-20 minutes.

Need a patch that keeps me from getting kicked out at random intervals.

Slow and crash-happy. Despite my CPU, video card and memory being far superior to the game's suggested requirements, the game becomes a slideshow with more than 10 or so units on screen at a time; if you factored in the hardware available at the game's release, it would be unplayable. Crashes to desktop and hard-locks are frequent.
