I had tried that before, but I did install windows video again but I still get an 'error loading .avi' when I start the game. Then it plays, but without cutscenes.

I’m sorry to hear that. All I can say is that it works nice for me when I use these drivers/applications:

DosBox 0.72
Windows for Workgroups 3.11
S3 864 1.41B5 640x480 256 colors
SoundBlaster 16
Video for Windows 1.1e

Before reinstalling Video for Windows, I would get an error message when playing some cut screens (not the intro videos): Page Fault in IR32.DLL (= Indeo 3.2). I could play the avi files outside the game, in that crappy Windows 3.11 Media Player.

Hm, the only difference between my setup and your is that I got windows 3.1
I will have to update to 3.11 to check out if everything works fine.

Anyone remembers if microsoft used to released updates? Or do I have to get a another clean install of 3.11?

Hm, the solution might be something more obvious actually.

Could you please paste me the contents of your darkseed2.ini file?
And are you mounting a cd-iso??

UPDATE: I FIXED IT!

god yes!! after 1 month of tries. And I have no clue what I did to fix it.
I installed it, reinstalled, installed video for windows 1.3e, but nothing.

Then I installed it again on top of the old installation and used the cd video for windows 1.3 [not 'e' and it's the one that is supposedly bugged], but it WORKED for some reason!

Talking Wrong spelling

The very first word... its SWISS artist h.r. giger, not sweiss or anything else. The country is called switzerland in english and if u refer to something from that country like the army-knife its a swiss-army-knife. Swiss chocolate and so on...
Cheers!

Default DOS Version

The page on MobyGames (and others) shows that there is a DOS version of DS2... does that even exist? The version I downloaded from the ISO cellar is Windows only. Are there any traces of that version? Using it with DOSBOX could solve some compatibility problems.
