I've had this game on retail copies for years. Escape From Butcher Bay and the Assault on Dark Athena that includes EfBB. I had to use a torrent to DL the GOG version as installing both DVD copies gave me issues. The original Butcher Bay DVD wouldn't even launch on my system. I later found my copy of Assault on Dark Athena and was able to install with an error of the Tages security files not being able to install because of my Windows security Core Isolation feature. Which is why I needed to get the torrent GOG copy.
Anyway, the game runs with the instructions you have laid out with the exception of the Nvidia Inspector settings. All I get is a black screen.
Thank you so much, funny enough is I have the Assault on Dark Athena Version with the remastered Butcher Bay and your steps below worked for that version on windows 11!
?2. Right click on Riddick.exe. Then select Properties and go on the compatibilty tab. ?3. In compatibility mode Check : Run this program in compatibility mode for : Windows XP (Service Pack 3) ?4. In settings Check : Disable fullscreen optimization ?5. The click on Change High DPI settings ?6. Check Override high DPI scaling behavior and select Scaling performed by: Application ?7. Click ok then apply and you can close the window
If you want the original version of the game that came out in 2004 you need to find a physical edition. there is no legal way to get it digitaly. However the remake of Butcher Bay is inclued in The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. The only way to get a legal digital version is on amazon: Amazon.com: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena [Download]: Video Games. Check your messages =)
Yes, that's right. I've searched for it four-five years ago and also discovered that this is the way. ) Only way. Thank you very much for your help. Appreciate it. P.S. 20 bucks - still worth every cent even today.
I know the description says it's not for the Dark Athena/Butcher Bay combo but does the mod work for them? This is the only copy of the game I have. Also looking for a controller mod. Thanks.
