Dear Tgames,

What you did with the legendary old Atlantis video games is wonderful! It's really amazing that there are unused dialogues and scenes, and even a "hub and visit" mode, and that you were able to bring them back to life!

However, I have a question. I'm on Windows 8.1 Home Edition, and it's impossible for me to use the Atlantis2VisitMode.exe script, version 1.0 or 1.1. Every time, there are issues with "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file", and no permissions, regardless of the file's location in the Windows directory, including in C:\CRYO\ATLANTIS2, as you advise us, with administrator rights.

Another question, or rather a wish: is it possible to relaunch the "Perfect Edition" program in its original "standard aspect ratio", meaning 4x3, so not widescreen? It's hard for me to look at such a stretched image, like watching the movie "The Wizard of Oz" where all the actors look like lilliputians!

Thanks so much in advance!

RichardP

Good evening RichardP,

Thanks for your message and the support

.

I had made a test version of the patcher for older versions of Windows but hadn't been able to test it yet.
Here it is:

Let me know if it works on Windows 8. If it works, it will replace the current one linked in this topic.

I'll be releasing an update soon for GOG and the CD version (like I did for Atlantis I) of Atlantis II which will already contain the "restored HUB and Visit Mode". As well as all the bug fixes already brought by the "Perfect Edition" version.

There will also be an update for GOG and the CD version of Atlantis III, which will contain the high-definition textures of the game (taken from a rare version of the game, a version that has been available on tgames.fr for quite a while now), for the first time a new music track composed by David Rhodes which was never integrated into the game but whose file I own. As well as a mode developed by Cryo but unfinished, "cinema mode", which renders the game in cinema mode. This mode was meant (I think) to be used for a fully DVD version of the game. This last mode lets you enjoy the game played entirely by the computer, a kind of Atlantis III movie (if you want to sum it up that way). And of course all the bug fixes already present in the "Perfect Edition" version.

Regarding a 4:3 mode, it's still being looked into in order to offer something clean by properly forcing the right ratio on the game. That said, for now there is a way to force 4:3 anyway without having to install anything.

For NVIDIA:

- Open the NVIDIA control panel
- Go to "Display" => "Adjust desktop size and position"
- In "Scaling" => "Aspect ratio"
- "Perform scaling on:" => "GPU".

For AMD/ATI, it should be similar, I don't know the menus, I don't own an ATI card.

[SOFTWARE] Beyond Atlantis 2 *REAL* HUB & VISIT MODE !

Dear Tgames,

... older versions of Windows ...

That makes me feel so old myself ...

A very big thank you for your fast and clear answer! Everything works perfectly now.

The container Atlantis2VisitModeV1.1_Test.zip with the new script works flawlessly on Windows 8.1. Your previous versions 1.0 and 1.1, to be honest, also triggered an error warning from my antivirus: "HEUR/UDS:Trojan.MSIL.Vapsup.gen" detected. I know a message like that could be dubious or false, since it's heuristic (Urgent Detection System (UDS) does seem more serious though), but your current version won't cause any trouble at least.

As for the 4:3 mode (or maybe it's actually 5:4?), I didn't manage to get it, but that's less serious. I have an Intel HD Graphics 4600 card, which lets me lower the resolution to 1280x1024 for example, and I have a BenQ screen like yours. The Intel panel gives an additional option to adjust the screen dimensions by height and width, but when I launch Atlantis 2 "Perfect Edition", it's still always a stretched panoramic scale. The BenQ screen's "Display mode -> Aspect" option (hardware), which should work, is oddly always disabled (greyed out). I think it was different when I bought it?

Complicated then, but not essential at all. Also, the 4:3 mode should automatically improve the resolution of the original game, which is only 800x600 at best.

Regards,

RichardP

Thank you Tgames for this other Hub

Is there a hub planned for Atlantis III: The New World?

In Atlantis 3, there will be the "interactive film" mode, which was left in the game's code by the developers but never finished. So it will be completed and made functional. This mode lets you enjoy the game in "film" mode. The "HD" graphics taken from the DVD version of the game, allowing you to enjoy an incomparable visual finesse compared to the GOG and CD version of the game. And beta dialogues that will be (partially) restored (since I wasn't able to get all the elements, unlike with Atlantis I).
