Ok, I've got VDMsound installed and I reconfigured the game, but now it refuses to open. Oh, and it says 'cannot find english.idx'. I got this off HOTU, so it ought to have the voices. Weird. Tips would be greatly appreciated.

There are a couple things you need to do with the HOTU version for it to work.
Downloading and installing the patch from HOTU is one of them.

Well i found a very ugly, disgusting and strange bug.
The most strange is that the first time i play it nothing happen, i won the game with no difficult (although act 4 is full of bugs).

But now i start the game all over again and in act 2 when Ricewind join the ritual the game crashes. The odd thing is that crashes when played on dosbox, if i play that part on xp the game doesnt crash, but it starts from the beggining!! When the ritual ends, appears the fly fling near death, like in the introdction of the game and then act 1 starts.
Really strange and annoying, luck that i already won the game, but anyaway, any ideas?

I've just had the same problem. the game crashes after the ceremony in act II on dos. the XP version doesnt, but sends me back to the intro.
does anybody have a save (right after the ceremony) that i could use?
thanks

Well, I still can't manage to save the game
The SAVE folder is already there when installed but even if I make new the saving isnt working...
Any idea?

I can't save either. Mine didn't start with a save folder, so I made one called SAVE and it didn't work. "save" didn't work either. I have it in the "DISCWLD" folder which was created after I installed it. I also have music, but no voices. I have the first sound option configured to Sondblaster Pro and the second as Soundblaster Pro, OPTL or something, since there wasen't just a plane Soundblaster Pro. I think the second option is the music(MIDI), so thats not a problem I doubt.

Hi! I was facing the same "saving" prob. But I found out the trick:
Install the game on the default folder (i think is dsworld or smth like it) and BEFORE running anything, create the folder "save" inside this diretory. then run the file DISC and configure sound and enjoy!
see ya

I'm still going barmy...

I had this on the Playstation and the game didn't save then... 4 different memory cards and 3 discs and it didnt save at all... i coud do so much and always had to start over....

now I have the same blasted problem on here...

I have tried adding a Save directory, I renamed my main directory to discwld from Discworld, I added a directory inside called disckwld/save as well still to no avail getting my saved games to save, display or anything really

going bonkers :¬(

Yep I'm having this problem too. It goes back to the intro and then Ricewind wakes and gets up from bed and you are stuck -- can't move, can't save can't load... *sigh* kind of sad hey?

What kind of sound exacly i should hear when it works perfectly? I hear some sort of music that i suppose to be right but i don't hear anything else. Should i or should i not hear anything else?

It seems I am suffering from the same problem as a few other people...
When I join the dragon summoning ceremony I end up in the cut-scene at the start of the game (with the drunk bumping into death, then getting roasted alive, then to the UU and eventually the bursar comes to Rincewind's room and wakes him up) and then the game freezes.

At first I wondered if my save file was corrupt so I went back to a previous one and worked forward to the same scene but once again the game plays the opening cut-scene and then freezes up.

I know someone asked if anyone had a save file from straight after the ceremony before... if anyone has can you let me know please.

Thanks.

Oooh, this game is soo darn zany!

And I AM going to solve it without a walk-through. Well, that is what I normally say, when I start out playing an adventure.
