A port for Witchaven does not exist, as the source code is probably long since gone.

It runs fine under DOSemu. But that's for Linux.

Capstone's Build games tend to be pretty flaky nowadays, even with programs like DOSBox. Still, I know for a fact that you can get both Witchaven and its sequal to run just fine under XP with the right tweaks. Try searching for a program called VDMSound and a site called "Build in XP" with your search engine of choice.

Checked it, for some reason I get a black screen of death with 2 sound thuds when i start the game.

Maybe got a tutorial on this?

Haven't had that happen before, odd. Your problem could be a sound issue. I know you had to patch certain Build engine games due to a bug with reverbing sound effects. Something to that effect, anyway. It takes a bit of tinkering to get VDMSound to work with a program, and I'm just too lazy to post what I've learned. :/

The game does work with DOSbox, so that can't be it right?

Well I'll be damned! Now if only someone could release the source to Fate.

What is your bump supposed to accomplish?

Actually, you know what, I don't need to know. I'm just going to put this thread on lockdown.
