berry-pepper-roni Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I talked about this problem in a previous topic and unfortunately, no one answered me with how to fix said problem. I don't know if this is considered spam since I've only posted about this once (and now twice): Again: I open up my game and it loads a black screen. The FMV's don't load either, and it seems like they don't load at all. The files are all where they're supposed to be and there aren't any missing files. I tested this just now to see if the infamous "No CD" screen would load, but it doesn't. Does/did anyone else have this problem, and if so, is there a way to fix it?

SmokedCarpenter Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Not sure about Lego Island, but when I was having issues with cutscenes in Legoland/Creator KK I simply launched the game in compatibility mode (For those I used Windows XP Service Pack 2, but you may have to test each different OS/service pack and see what works.) You can also try reduced color mode, and obviously tick the box for run as admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try 95/98/Me (I tried Service Pack 3 but that might've been the problem) 8 minutes ago, berry-pepper-roni said: Maybe.

So I decided to set it to Service Pack 2 and waited about a minute, and the cutscenes STILL didn't load. I checked CONFIG and it's literally set on 16-bit color, too...like you said. 17 minutes ago, berry-pepper-roni said: Maybe.

Have you tried using Lego Rebuilder yet? It acts as a launcher, (it doesn't modify the game permanently). Lego Rebuilder lets you run the game in windowed and fix/change various settings which may allow the movies to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm....... Do you have a second display/monitor connected? If so, disconnect it, otherwise the game may freeze. Have you installed dgVoodoo2? If not then you should follow these instructions: Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2 here and open the .zip archive file. Open the MS\x86 folder and copy D3D8.dll, D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll files to where the game is installed (with ISLE.EXE). Also copy the dgVoodooCpl, into the game installation folder where the game executable is. And then run CONFIG.EXE with Windows 98 compatibility mode (located with the game's exe) and click the Advanced button and make sure Direct3D HAL is selected. After doing all of that, try running the game. Other things to check: - Right-click and view the properties of the d3drm.dll file and see the version number under the Details tab. My version is 5.1.2600.0, yours may have to be updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extremely complicated. I wasn't able to get LEGO Island to run 10 years ago and gave up. However I finally got it working last year and it was amazing experiencing the game for the first time. When were you last able to run the game on your PC? What changed between it working and it breaking? If you want to try again, I would recommending uninstalling the game completely. After doing that, use this alternate installer to install the game effortlessly: https://github.com/le717/Island-Alternate-Installer/LEGO.Island.Alternate.Installer.exe Make sure that you've got your LEGO Island disc inserted.
