Wanted: ACWIN.EXE 2.15, 2.12, 2.07...

[After]

... or whichever version(s) are actually required to run the following under Windows 2000:

Permanent Daylight (2.15.130)
Larry Vales: Dead Girls are Easy (2.12.097)
Larry Vales: Traffic Division (2.07.069)

You can get v2.15 here:

Unfortunately, the Windows engine didn't exist until v2.14, so there is no Windows version of 2.12 and 2.07. You can try running them with the 2.15 engine and you might be lucky. Otherwise, I'm afraid the only solution is to get the game's author to upgrade the game to a later AGS version.

They must do an upgrade!!!1

Thanks again.

Actually, I was mainly interested in LV because it seems to be a commonly understood reference point around here.

You might be able to get the DOS version to run under DOSBox or VDMSound or something, it's worth a try.

The first Larry Vales game (Traffic Division, is it? The one with the hotel/casino) really ought to be upgraded - especially because it is, as After said, a common reference point.  But also because it needs to be updated. There are some horrible bugs that made the game nearly unplayable for me (for some reason the game got the GUI on/off states backwards, so it froze whenever I moved the cursor off the GUI - I had to move the cursor to the top of the screen after clicking to get the character to do ANYTHING, and most cutscenes behaved strangely as well. (I'd better note that it was a while since I downloaded it, so it MAY have been fixed since, but I doubt it).

I think Phil's moved on.

But I never had any problems, even playing it nearly 3 years ago.

[GarageGothic]

Too bad. It's strange though if nobody else experienced it. The problem showed up nearly immediately when I played the game, and the wrong state was stored in the savegames, so saving/restoring didn't even help. Well, at least I managed to finish the game anyways.

I encountered the same bug couple of times, I just started the game again. I guess it's random. And LV1 is not the only game that had that bug.

[auhsor]

The LV games were the first games i played when i first found AGS. Larry 2 still remains one of my favourite ags games. I don't remember having any problems with larry one tho. Except for maybe the walking animations... heh

[MrColossal]

i had that bug and i think it's the first thing i submitted to CJ to fix?

i think it happens if you go into the gui during a dialogue or something and it stays there even after reloading a saved game
