Dungeon Keeper 2, now with fully supported hardware acceleration.

At GOG.com we try to treat our games like our children--with care, tolerance, love and understanding. If they’re not ready and prepared, we don’t release them. When we see they’re doing great on modern systems, we pack them with some extra goodies to keep them warm and safe, and send them out to the homes of the best people we could ever find--you, gamers, GOGers!

And we never forget about our games, oh no! Every once in a while, one of our testers checks how our releases are doing and then we can contact you and say: “It’s a dangerous world out there. This patch, update, soundtrack, and artbook might help you.”

Today, we’re extremely happy to tell you that within minutes you will be able to play the best, the fastest, and the most reliable version of Dungeon Keeper 2 out there, all thanks to a small patch, named 'Hardware acceleration fix', that can be downloaded from your ‘My Account’ section. Play Dungeon Keeper with hardware acceleration and 1024x768 resolution (fully supported on ATI and NVIDIA cards) as it’s supposed to be played--slick, smooth, and super-cool.

In addition to that, we’ve added some great extras to The Witcher and The Witcher 2:
- new print-ready HD version of the TW2EE artbook--that’s 332 MB of the pure awesomeness
- seven “Behind the Scenes” videos for The Witcher
- 14 video interviews with the creators of The Witcher
- metal music video advertising The Witcher

Download the Dungeon Keeper 2 patch and awesome extras for the Witcher games from your ‘My Account’ page. We also recommend using our GOG.com Downloader.

When I used to play DK2, I had a patch that introduced these women spider things. Are they in this version of DK2?

When I try to install the patch I'm getting a Virus warning from Comodo AV. It is telling me it is a TrojWare.Win32.Injector.sbp@281376821 and then quaratine's the extracted files in the \AppData\Local\Temp folder and kills the patch installer.

Some files GOG uses to "fix" various games it puts up for sale are cracks/etc made by "certain groups", and the way such files are constructed/structured causes some AV suites to tag them as false positives.

Whoa, you sure about that? lol I would expect GOG staff to write their own code.

As for gregdeyoung, that's most certainly a false positive indeed, the way these fixes work can fool some antivirus software, which are on the hunt for programs that modify executables... they can't really know if the program doing that is benign (like a fix) or malign.

It's been mentioned here several times before......a couple games GOG sells were made to work/copy protection was bypassed by using game cracks(Tested and virus scanned by GOG staff first, of course.).

I'm pretty sure timeslip helped with this.

I didn't say that this was the case here, just that various games GOG sells use cracks from various groups (Or in this case: Fixes they've made themselves or had others make for them.) which can be seen as false positives by one's AV software.

Definitely going to download the videos and watch them. :) Yey!
Posted July 05, 2012
Thank you, GOG!
Things like this really show you really care about the games you sell.
Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2 are one of the most addictive games I've ever played.
And The Witcher bonus content is really a collector's dream.

Still another "False Positive",which are becoming a common problem with Anti VIrus programs. Norton's is notorious for them.

Ok, I got it installed. This patch is AWESOME!!

People who use anti-virus programs tend to be prone to viruses. Just an observation. ;)

At least Trend MicroOfficescan virus scanner on my laptop didn't complain anything, even though otherwise it seems to be very stringent on complaining on anything suspicious, giving also false positives. E.g. earlier it complained that a well-known utility used to rootkit Android phones (so that you can install another Android release on it) is malware, apparently because it lets you rootkit your Android phone. Duh.
