Re: This game can now be played right through ScummVM

Just updating it's no longer in beta - ScummVM now officially supports AGD v2.5+ games like this one (which was built in v3.2)! Just a warning playing this with the Wizard. I just tried playing it, and the game keeps crashing at the end of the Wizard Game with Keapon Laffin. This occurs no matter w...

Re: Combat speed

Alternatively, this game is now runnable right from ScummVM, you might want to go that way. See here . So ScummVM was majorly buggy in the past, but I just downloaded the development build of ScummVM, and it works _great_ with the AGD Interactive version of QF2 now! Combat speed isn't all hinky, th...

Re: Quest for Glory 2: Speed Slow

You might want to try running the game via the external engine's latest acwin.exe (see this). Who knows, maybe it'll help you... EUREKA, THAT WORKED!!! OK, so for future QFG players, here's the skinny: The executable, Qfg2vga.exe is an older version of the executable that AGS provides. It's version...

Re: Quest for Glory 2: Speed Slow

Unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas. So, I figured out something on a lark. I have an email program that runs in the background, and sends an audio ping notification when I get an email. I was playing the game, heard the audio ping notification, and all of a sudden the speed was normal! Not...

Re: Quest for Glory 2: Speed Slow

If I remember right, the problem has to do with a multi-processor system (which are more ubiquitous now than when the remake was first released), with the workaround being to tell the system to run it on only one CPU, but I haven't gotten that to work in Windows 10. For me, the normal gameplay is j...

Re: Any way to have HQ graphics on a 64-bit system?

The "32-bit" there refers to the color depth of the game, not the type of processor you have. It just means that some AGS run with 16 bit colors and the filters won't work for those games. It should work fine with the QfG2 remake regardless of system you have. Oh, after some experimentati...

Quest for Glory 2: Speed Slow

Installed the new 2011 version of QF2, and it is painfully slow. It feels like I've got the speed set to normal or slow. I've tried many different things. Running other programs in the background, using my motherboard graphics card instead of my NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, praying to Vishnu...noth...

Re: Combat speed

I have the same issue, with speed in general--not just combat. Did you ever find a fix to this issue?

Any way to have HQ graphics on a 64-bit system?

I am currently running Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

I wanted to run this game using the HQ2x or HQ3x settings, but it seems like those settings only work on 32-bit systems. Is there any way to get HQ3x on a 64-bit system?

Problems with Jackalmen

There are two issues with Jackalmen that I have: (1) If a Jackalman approaches you from behind or to the side, you have to wait until AFTER they are in position before you can kick them. If you try to kick them right when they land, your character will kick in an opposing direction, leaving you open...

Re: I can't beat Issur in arm wrestling?

I understood the instructions, but it seems that no matter what I do, I lose my staying power. I've looked for a solution, but I can't find one. Can someone please help? Keep hitting the left arrow to increase strength, and anytime your hands shake hit "enter" to hold Issur at bay. After ...

Re: Lose Honor when you cast magic?

Hmm, it looks like I found an answer to both questions: (1) Using ANY kind of ranged attack on an enemy lowers honor. This includes throwing daggers, rocks, flame darts or force bolts at the enemy (2) I can only fight Sir James if I use the traditional map. Sir James doesn't appear on the simplified...

Re: Can I change the speed of Combat?

Yup! I can confirm. When I have another program running in the background, QFGII runs as fast as it can run on my computer. But if I close ALL programs and run QFGII on its own, it lags super-hard. This has actually been very convenient to me since there is no way to slow down combat any other way. ...

Lose Honor when you cast magic?

Hey all, First, AWESOME game! Great job to everyone who contributed! Loved the Easter egg when you give Sheema too many flowers. =) So I'm going through my first playthrough as a fighter, aiming to upgrade to a Paladin at the end of the game. So I noticed that my honor dipped, and restored to a prev...
