Help! :wallbash:

After I finished the first level it says:"there's a traitor among us...bla bla" and asks me 3 questions, and no matter what I write, after the third answer it quiets itself back to the dos screen and I cant continue the game.. I dont know what to do!

Please I'll be glad if someone help me solve this issue!

In this same one topic there is the answer : read the post #58 or post #132 (in other word - use the manual provided by Abandonia itself, eventually save just before the end of the first level and reload if you fail to respond the protection-question).

BTW, read the entire topic, it's long but even filled with interesting information and trick

Thanks! After the first couple pages of the topic, it looked as if nobody was having that problem, so I (stupidly) didn't read the rest. And now I WILL read the rest, for those tips!

Thanks again!

Hi,

I have two copies of Dune II. One downloaded from here. The one from here builds things slowly, the other copy I have is the same but the building of concrete, and buildings goes faster. BUT from what I have read, by the four level I should be able to build a heavy factory. In both version thought level 5 I don't have the option to build a heavy factory. What is the problem??? Am I missing something? Does someone have a version that works where you can build a heavy factory in the fourth level?

Any help would be nice. I have played this game in the past but lost it on an old computer. I came back to it now for fun, but playing several of the houses, I can't get past the 5th level because of the lack of a heavy fatory.

!!!!!!!

Have you built _all_ the stucture types you can? With the exception of spice silos, all of them are neccesary for further structures up the construction tree. IIRC, you need a Light Factory to build the Heavy one.

Yes, I have built all of the structures.... but I did forget to say that when I build the radar station my game crashes. I have tried adding the patch... but then the game will not run at all.... what can I do? or does someone have a working copy for an XP system.

They have one.

Hm. I must be doing something incredibly right, cause Dune 2 happens to be one of the most stable games in DosBox on my PC... :blink:

I could imagine that your PC is too fast... (Valid reason...? )

It may be a bad installation and/or a bad download. If you run out of other ideas: Try re-install, if that fails try to re-download.

Thanks to all...

I have re-downloaded the game from here and reinstalled it. I am using saved games from my previous game playing so that I could start off at level 4 to see if it made any difference. It did.... But.... after finally being able to install the radar station without the game crashing, I now had the ability to build a heavy factory.

!!! The first three times I tried to play the game crashed later when I did something.... never the same thing. Finally I did make it though to the 5th level....

I let you know how I make out

I think I have found my problem. When I first tried to play level 5 today, when I went to install the radar station once again the game crashed. So I went and reran the setup.exe program, but this time I told it not to use extended memory and now (so far) I have not had any problems.

I'm having a problem running Dune II. After completing the first mission for the Atriedes, the mentat says there are reports that I've been communicating with the Ordos, so he must ask me some questions. The questions are about things such as armor class, speed, and unit type. After completing the third question, the game closes! I have no idea why. Would somebody please help me with this issue?

That's the copy protection LOLs. And it won't close your game if you answered it right.
