Snover,

my web space is hosted by Lycos, which is indeed very cheap. But, I've not yet found a better solution, due to the fact that most providers would not let me upload .EXE or .RAR files. Or they ask you to connect to the net using their ISP. If you know of a decent hosting out there please let me know.

Regarding the patch, it has been made for the latest CD version of the game (the collection one). Yours sounds like one of the first CD releases of the game. I planned to support all CD version at first, but I wasn't able to find anyone that owned the version you got in the end. Therefore if you would like support for your version, please send me a detailed directory listing of your GK CD and I'll see what I can do. To make a listing you will need to use a specific program, such as File Tree Printer:

Everything else works fine; that icon file was the only exception.
Please send me a PM regarding hosting.
I have attached a full listing of all files on the CD.

Ok, you've got new mail. 😀

I've checked the listing. Looks like there are a few minor differences, besides that missing icon. But none of them is a problem for my update to work.

Thanks to Snover, Endroz's site is now properly hosted. Cheers to both of ya!

Hi Endroz,

found your Site today & tried both patches for GK 1 but they don´t work on my version. It´s the english 93 CD-Release with german subtitles. I attached the list of files. A few files like "gkcheck" & "readme" aren´t listed by Filetree. Don´t know why.

I am sorry, but the German version is not supported by the installer. It's not just a matter of subtitles.

You can try installing it anyway, but I won't guarantee it to work.

Thanks for a great patch! The only problem for me is that the music, besides from the music at the main menu, don't work at all.

Try increasing the Midi volume in the Windows Control Panel audio mixer. Make sure that you're able to listen to midi files in other programs or using the dxdiag DirectX configuration tool. Hope this helps.

Wow! I had disabled all "unnecessary" outputs including "synth", so I just renabled it and now it works great. Thanks a million!

I run Windows 2000 and used your patch but I keep coming up with the following error when I install: Source File D:\GK1.ICO does not exist.
Then it comes up with General Protection Fault Module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:9FF7 and shuts down when I try to play.
I used to play this on Windows 98 without at problem but the voice's are all muffled on 2000.
Hope you can help as I would love to play this again, it's a great game.
Thanks in advance

p.s...I have the original Disk

Jada, I have sent you a private message regarding this problem with a possible solution. 😀

I was thrilled to find your download but when I tried to install it could not find my CD. Apparently it was looking in either D:\ or E:\, neither of which are my
CD/DVD drive. I tried to manually copy the files it would not copy but that created a crash when I try to run the game so I am assuming that your installer makes some changes to the files. Is there a way to specify the location of your DVD drive?

Thanks for trying;
David

I am having the same problems with character voices and system error messages as Jada. I uninstalled and tried to re-install the gk1 patch- but now i get "file not found" when I click on the link. Help!

I swear to god, did you just post shit to my company's Web contact form asking to fix the links?

Sorry- I must have clicked on the wrong link. i just hit the one in the signature- you had helped someone with a similar issue. It had been awhile since someone posted i wasn't sure if these messages threads were still being monitored. My apologies.

Hi,the patch was ver very great thanks.But I want ask something about the pixel of the game I know its a old game but,is there something to make the resolution 1024x768? or any program like scummvm.I can I have 20" monitor and the graphics are not so fine for me.because the game supporting 640x480..is there any solve for this pixel or any program for it?..Thanks

Hi,
I'm having sort of the same problem as Hazekel I guess. I've downloaded the patch without any problem but when I try to run it, it keeps telling me to insert the cd into the drive. Now I've tried both my drives but it doesn't seem to find any cd. I've tried most of your suggestions in problem solving but nothing seems to be wrong with the cd itself. I've been able to install the cd itself, but when I start the game, my mouse arrow only works on the icon bar at the top of the screen but not on the game itself. So there is nothing to play. I guess that is why you would need that patch? Could you help me out here? I've been dying to try this game ever since I played Gabriel Knight 3. Thanx!!!

What are your drive letters?
