Hello,

I'm having trouble running Turok 2 on my Win98 machine. I installed the game without any issues but when i start it the cursor changes to the loading one for a second and that's it. Nothing happens after that.

My specs are:
Win98 SE
Pentium III 733mhz
512 RAM
Voodoo 3 2000
Soundblaster live 5.1

Has anyone encountered a similar issue ?

Pentium I 133mhz
32MB RAM
AWE64
S3 64v+ / Voodoo 1
DOS 6.22

looks like you have the incorrect version game installed for the patch maybe there be another online to use it.
sometimes its a corrupted game sometimes its a game from a dodgy source.
I would look for the correct game installer myself chances are it will work well prior to this patch.
I haven't played this game btw but I try be useful as the internet has its own seemingly infinate laws and its a pain to run retro.

Placed both files in the source directory and it booted. I guess this is an already patched 1.04 exe.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in.

So sorry! I thought you meant an error message from patches-scrolls.de.

Glad you got it working!

It happens a lot we get a game it bungs up we're told by forums and etc to patch it only to find its a pre patched newer release needing other stuff instead 🤣
I got rise of nations but it was released after the initial on a dvd with thrones & charriots and it comes with patches included for example.
I check for that condition first before patch hunting.
You are welcome 😀
