Okay, so has any of you been able to crack the game and GET PAST THE DAMN STATUE? If so, would you please tell me what I'd missed?

How far into the game is the statue?

How come you can download the 2nd game but the 1st one is protected? :blink:

AITD2 is not sold, and ESA has not renewed its protection on 2. 3 is sold, and 1 is still protected by the ESA. Don't ask me why, its just that way.

Maybe they tought that 2 wasn't as good as 1 or 3 (not to mention 4).

"Somehow the second game in a trilogy always seems to be the worst of the three, unfortunately, and that is no exception here."

Except for the Star Control series =). Of course 1 was rather flat. And 3? What 3.

and Realms of Arkania - they were all good, but the second is the best

Hi there!
I can not agree with the review saying that the music is almost not there. You guys obviously played the Floppy Disc version, as the CD Version comes with a whole CD full of orchestral music which has been the best and best fitting music I knew in that days.
Shall I provide an iso? Or would that be too big to download?

Uncracking alone in the dark 2 in winXP:

First of all, users must create a ".bat" file with the following lines:

aitd2crk

aitd2

@echo off

(i suggest naming it run.bat)
After that just simply run this run.bat file with the VDMS program and the game will work all right.

Brazilian greetings u guys... just love aitd2 and i got pretty happy when i was able to uncraking it.

I can't get this to play with any music. Winstall.exe won't let me choose any music device and install.exe is all gibberish. I tried running install.exe under dosbox and I get all sorts of errors at the bottom of the screen. I just extracted the game, ran aitd2.exe with vdmsound, and I get no music, same as if I run it under dosbox. Any help wound be appreciated.

If it wasn't too big, it would already be on the site.

There's a patch for the WINSTALL file here: http://www.justadventure.com/thejave/html/...mesA/AloneDark/, it should fix the problem of not being able to select a music device.
