Hi. I'm trying to run Blood under GliDOS 1.28, but am getting the same symptoms described by arnold in his post Blood :: 2003-9-06 @ 02:19 pm.

Essentially the game starts up OK, gets to

Initializing sound system

and then dies, leaving just the GliDOS window.

I got my copy of Blood from Home of the Underdogs, as the source mentioned in the GliDOS documentation (http://www.nestlesux.cjb.net/) is down at present. This may be the problem, as when I run the R1120.exe 3DFX patch it says:

-----------------------------------------------------
- Results of Application of Patch File -
-----------------------------------------------------
File Patches Applied ......................... ( 1)

Files Modified .................. ( 0)

File Patches Skipped: New Files Up-To-Date.... ( 2)

File Patches Ignored: Old Files Missing....... ( 3)
Old Files Invalid....... ( 4)
-----------------------------------------------------
Total File Patches Processed ................. ( 10)
-----------------------------------------------------

which doesn't look right at all.

The game works fine on its own though, using the Creative SB16 Emulation. (It's not at all happy with VDMSound.)

I'm running Windows 98 SE on a 1.4 GHz Athlon with 512MB memory and a 32MB GeForce2 MX. Any help would be more than welcome.

Thanks.
