EarthSiege 2 help Hi. I found my old EarthSiege 2 disc and have been trying to get the game to work, but almost every guide I've found requires me to go to tribesuniverse.com, which doesn't appear to go anywhere anymore.
Stock Dosbox, set cycles to max to avoid stuttering, and then start the usual DoxBox routine by starting the executable. I've played them last year from the disks, and I found no problems.I got the ISOs from the TribeAscend website and I can't run DOSbox on them because they're ISOs.
Opening them with Daemon Tools Lite (mounting them so that the 'Installer' file shows in each) doesn't do an good either-DOSbox just says 'invalid command' when I type installer even when I've typed the following on the DOSBox screen:1. Mount d d:DOSGames (where I've put the ISOs)2. Cd earthsiege4. I know it worked a few years before.
Here are some instructions but I don't guarantee anything. Try this shipand these Instructions for the 32Bit Version.1. In the compatibility Administrator, right-click on 'Custom Databases' and select new.2. Right-click on the newly-created database and select 'create new' and then 'compatibility mode'.3. Find 'EmulateJoystick' and 'GlobalMemoryStatusLie', and add them (by double-clicking)4.
Enter a name for the compatibility mode (I used 'ES2') and click on 'OK'5. Right-click on the database you created in step 1 and select 'Create new' then 'Application Fix'6.
Enter the name of the application ('Earthsiege 2') and the vendor ('Sierra')7. Click the 'browse' button next to the program file location field, and find the ES.exe file (on my system, it'sat c:sierraes2es.exe).8. Click on 'next', then check the '256Color' and 'ES2' compatibility modes. Also, if the 'Microsoft Windows 95'radio button is selected, change it to the 'None' radio button.9.
Click 'next', then 'next' again, and then click the 'auto-generate' button.10. Finally, click on 'Finish'. At this point, you should name your database something (right-click and select'rename'), and then save it (save button in the toolbar).These worked for WinXP.

Reddit tells us that the thing should work (if we can trust random Redditors).Plus, the laptop where I got 'em working was running 32 bit, so maybe it's a 64 bit thing. But the comments guarantee there's a way to get them to work.Sorry mate to be of little help.Thanks!
I'll look into that after work. Yes, I do think it's a 64-bit thing.:(.
