Oh, dear !! That doesn't sound up to the usual GOG standard, Draclvr headscratch so I'm sure they'll try to get it fixed for you.

[I am presuming you have it in WIn7 ??]

Yes, I do. The original disks work on Windows 7 when installed in compatibility mode. I just have to go through applying the patch to update it to version 1.1 so I can save anywhere.

Now this makes me even more annoyed - when I uninstalled the game, my download also disappeared. Moving from snarling to the next level... mad

I've never seen that happen with a GOG game. Are you sure your hard drive isn't having issues?

I've never had it happen before either. Actually, something wonky is going on somewhere in my Windows 7 and I can't figure it out. I thought the hard drive first, but some odd things are happening on my Windows 8 drive too, so it's got to be hardware somewhere. I am going to post a quick question down in Glitches.

Hi smile

There are bits in the game where (pathetic fighter that I am) I know I will need to use God Mode temporarily - so I tried it yesterday.

However, running the GOG version in WinXP, although I can call up the console and get the pulsing cursor on the black line, whatever cheat I type in just gets me a reply of "unrecognised command" eek

Does anyone know how I might fix this ??

Help always much appreciated !!

Thanks.

Mad yes

Mad, there is a long post at GOG with several suggested fixes. They may be helpful though they are not all for XP. luck

Hi looney4labs smile

Yes, thank you, I saw that long thread at GOG but couldn't find any solution given for XP.

And I posted on that forum myself after reading it - but no reply has come as yet.

I was however hoping a GB player might be able to help me. I know a lot of people here like the game as much as I do and that many of them are far better at it than I am !! laugh

Cheers.

Mad wave

Well, I got it reinstalled and Christof and Wilhelm are heading down into the monastery. I will try God Mode and see what happens.

So glad to hear you are playing again, Draclvr !! bravo

Are you playing in Win7 again ??

I'm playing the GOG version in XP and can't get the cheats to work.

I can bring the console bar up alright but any cheat I type in provokes the "Unrecognised command" response frown

No, I haven't, so thanks, oldman !! I'll go look grin

EDIT :

Checked out the site now and although the God Mode offered there doesn't work either woozy some of the other cheats do and I can at least top up cash and vitae and things like that which is a big help - so thanks again thumbsup

Interesting... on my Windows 7 last night, the cheat console opened up and when I typed in god 1, it worked right away. No capital letters and a space...

Drac, glad it is working for you.

Mad, glad some of them are working. Now we just have to whack that god mode and get it working.

Thanks Oldman puppy

Yes, the components for my new machine are being gathered but then it will have to be built and tested etc. [All in my Son in Law's spare time.] So it won't be ready for a while.

Even so, I'd have to start the game from the beginning again and I won't want to do that when I've got so far into it lol

I hope it's not considered Necromancy it's a bit old thread. smile
I've just finished replaying VM Redemption and had the same problem with console when trying to enable God Mode. It just reported "unrecognised command".

Discussion here steered me toward solution, so here's how I enabled it:

I played it on laptop with Win XP. Laptop has non US keyboard so non US keyboard layout was set in Windows.

I just switched to standard US layout. And opened console with "shift" + "`"

That was the culprit!!! If you just open console by pressing "`" (key under "Esc") it wont work! It actually has to be "~" (without quotation marks of course).
Then all cheat codes entered worked. Hope this helps. smile

Thank you, kloikju smile

Mine is a UK keyboard which often means slight differences where cheat codes are concerned !!

I haven't got back to Masquerade in a while but I'll certainly give your instructions a go when I do thumbsup

Yes they are, looney4labs, even though only slightly.

But it wasn't until I first tried to use a cheat code that I found out myself !!

That's what you get for cheating, huh ?? lol lol
