The Lost Relic

I've been wanting to play The Lost Relic again, this time on hardest. However, on my computer it won't run. The starting screens are all discolored. I'm on Windows 7, I disabled all Aero, ran in Admin mode, incompatibility mode, 236 colors, nothing. Help pl0x!

I think it must be run in --windowed mode. The only mod I recall ever needing that.

How do I do that again?

Create a windows shortcut and put --windowed at the end of the command line (in properties). You may also want to increase the resolution from the default 640x400 to make the window bigger: add --res 960 600 or --res 1280 800. It has to be a multiple of 320x200 (or 320x240). These things can also be done in a .bat file. All of this is done exactly as when you would add --goobers or --debugmode for cheating.

None-fullscreen, still getting bad discoloration and crash upon starting the first level. It also screws up the color of my entire desktop, not even like 16 bit, looks like 6 bit after a toddler spilled paint over it.

EDIT:
Checked off run in set resolution/256 colors. Color is good, but still crashes on level 1.

Problem fixed by setting to windows 95 compatibility mode.

EDIT:
Game crashes after a door closes...

Hi Jay!

I tried that. Without windowed mode, I get severe color palette problems. If I use windowed, it crashes on loading level 1 with --tedlevel 1.

With windowed + tedlevel, I get good color, but once again crash upon door closing.

EDIT: Somehow works now. Time to rough it up on hard difficulty. It's laggy any annoying to use though.

Good thing you asked them. I would have had no idea because of my new computer
