Can't get RR to run!

I've been working at this for several hours tonight, did a lot of Google searches. RRU came up most often with the most relevant/helpful stuff, which is why I'm posting this here. I'm stuck. My apologies if an answer to this is up already -- I did not find it.

Here we go. First-- I never did get the installer .exe to work. At all. I dug a little deeper in the disc in frustration, and found a .exe for the game itself, figured I'd try that. THAT actually got me some unexpected progress. Don't know if it's doomed progress -- I'm more of a Mac person -- trying to run this on Windows 7.

After the digging I did, here's my process and result:

1. The necessary dll is in place-- or at least I'm not getting told that it's missing anymore.

2. Compatibility settings on the .exe: 98/ME, 256 colors, 640X480

3. Display settings: 800x600, 16bit

4. Command prompt: the line to start RR with a core affinity.

5. UAC pops up: Yes.

6. Little dialog box asking full screen or windowed. Windowed has no modes available and thus can't be clicked, fullscreen has RGB emulation and Direct3D HAL. Doesn't seem to make a difference which one I select.

7. Screen goes black---- aaaaaand back to desktop! With the LegoRR process gone.

Any ideas?

Oh, and I want to thank Extreme110 and Cyrem -- I'd not be even this far without some of your posts, guys.

Alright, can we please get your systems specs? Stuff like OS Version (7 64-bit Ultimate, for example), RAM, CPU, Graphics Card, Sound Card etc. This sounds like the regular support issue so hopefully I'll be able to scrape off an answer from before.

And thank you ;P I live to give.

There are some settings in the Catalyst Control Center that you can change that might help the game work better. Off the top of my head I don't remember what they might be. If you search for posts by "karsten" with "catalyst" as a search term you might find something. If not, just try settings until something works.

I looked and it appears you're supposed to disable Catalyst AI.

I've disabled Catalyst AI when trying to launch RR.

Still got almost the same result, not even splash screen or loading screen.

Strangely, I do have a difference. UAC no longer pops up...

UPDATE: LRR now launches, and runs satisfactorily. I went back and tried again, using the cab extraction/exe & icd replacement method.

 

Weirdness: I don't seem to have cutscenes. Any thoughts?

 

EDIT: another weirdness-- lasers don't seem to fire. I seem to recall the method being clicking twice on the vehicle/building and clicking on target whilst target's menu is grayed out, but that isn't doing anything.

Copy the AVI files from the disk to Data/AVI. I'm not sure about the lasers not working though.

Thank you, Doctor.  I did as you suggested and found that the AVI files WERE there, and went ahead with a copy and replace. I'll test it tomorrow, but it doesn't seem hopeful. [uPDATE} Seems to be working. WTF.

 

More Weirdness: Umm... no bats. At all. On the one hand, that's awesome, but I'd really like the game to play properly. (Yeaaaah, I think that's a lost cause. Broken levels, IIRC, getting 100% impossible? Is there a fix for those, while it's on the mind?)

The only level that you cannot score a 100% on is Run the Gauntlet, if I remember right. It's possible to fix that in the CFG file. Just set the crystals quota to 0 and you should be able to get a better score.

Reward {
Enable TRUE
Modifier 0
Importance {
Crystals 40
Oxygen 40
Timer 10
Caverns 12
}
Quota {
Crystals 20
Timer 700
Caverns 12
}
}
Bats are only on a few levels... Hot Stuff, Rocky Horror, and maybe one more. Where are you looking and expecting bats?
