[NOLF1 Upscale Pack]

Nice one, thanks!

[Nolf Custom map pack 2022]

Can these be used in single player? if not, are there any single player add-ons?

Thanks.

[NOLF1 mostly fails to launch on Windows 10?]

I've always had intermittent problems with Nolf 1 on Windows 10, so in the end dgVoodoo was the best solution and now it runs perfectly.

However, if you're running an AMD card you'll need to select the output to D3D12 in the dgVoodoo control panel. I also set the FPS limiter in-game (with Moderniser patch) to 60 and this fixed the cutscenes audio cut-offs.

Edit:

This is the GOTY version by the way.

[Finished NOLF1! My Final Thoughts...]

I never managed to finish NOLF 2 mainly because I couldn't relate to any of the characters like I could in NOLF 1, which I still play from time to time because it makes me laugh. So tongue in cheek.

[NOLF1 Wont Start (Windows 10)]

My V Sync fix didn't last long, so I'll give that a try @Eliteone

It's odd because a fix will work on first play and then the second time, say later in the day, the game won't start at all.

 

[NOLF1 Wont Start (Windows 10)]

I know this is an old topic, but I managed to get the game to run by forcing vertical sync ON. So many hours spent with hit and miss.

Anyway, I didn't set any compatibility either and it's the GOTY edition running perfectly at 1920 x 1080.

Try going to either Radeon settings or Nvidia control panel to set V Sync On for this game only.

Hope it helps.

[Other games you're playing]

Now that I've started Nolf 1 again, ye olde game bug got a hold of me, especially since a lot of them are such a challenge to get going on new systems.

One of my favourites is Project IGI, an FPS where you play as a special forces bloke, breaking into military compounds and such like using stealth more than anything else. I've been playing it off and on since I bought the CDs back in 2000 and when installed on Windows 10 x64 with compatibility for XP and Admin rights, it plays just fine. Some may have a very low FPS problem which can be fixed using this solution from Xaris.

It's a challenging game, especially since there are no checkpoints or even manual saves, so once you're dead you need to start the mission from scratch. But that's possibly the attraction and makes you concentrate that much harder, so that when a mission is complete it feels that much more satisfying.

14 missions and I still haven't finished the last one as it's so tricky, but I'm sure to keep on trying.

 

[Max Payne the movie]

It was truly awful and i couldn't even finish it.

[Finished NOLF1! My Final Thoughts...]

It's the humour that's made Nolf 1 one of my all time favourites and regardless of the older graphics, it's still great to dip into it again from time to time.

[How to listen to NOLF 1 In the Lounge?]

Anyone know how to get CD2 tp play the music please? I tried VLC with no luck.

[Can't talk to characters, single player]

When I approach Yamata San and Santa the bird at the very beginning, I'm prompted to talk which I assume means using the action key (enter or whatever I remapped it to, which is E) but nothing happens.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

[Someone is at least trying to get us NOLF]

That's a bummer!

Here's what I wrote at DCT last July, which unfortunately now needs updating of course.

[Which part of the series is your favourite?]

For me it's NOLF 1 without question.

The humour is spot on, totally original and somehow you knew that script couldn't be bettered.

I also prefer the gameplay as there are some really tedious levels in NOLF 2, particularly in India which had me tearing my hair out at times, especially those irritating policemen trying to arrest Cate.

[How to Install NOLF to 64 bit Windows Vista or Windows 7]

I'll keep my eyes open for that.

In the meantime, yesterday I ran the game on Win 8 x64 from a USB 3 pendrive and it played just great!

[How to Install NOLF to 64 bit Windows Vista or Windows 7]

Lots of people have put effort into various installers and the only method that works for me so far on Win 7 x64 is copying the cd contents to a directory on the hard drive and running it directly from there, without any compatibility mode.

I used the 64 bit patch installer (1-3 combined) and then the official patch 4 and it's odd that the game intro screen shows V1.0 as per the screenshot.

Also, I tried the no cd patch as, even though I own the original game, it's a lot easier not having to grab the cd every time, but the no cd patch always comes up with 'no game resources found' error, so I have to play with the cd in all the time.

One other method would be to iso the cd, mount it, install from mount.

For the resolution I changed the screenwidth and height in the autoexec.cfg to 1920 and 1080 which works fine. I'm still puzzled about the game version though and will install on another pc just to test it out again.

[NOLF 1 at E3 1999... Adam Church?]

Fascinating stuff.

Turned out for the best in the end with Cate as the lead character.

[Consoles vs. PC]

It seems to be going the other way now.

I know this OP is a little old, but it's interesting to see how many games are developed for consoles now and ported to PC later. Used to be the other way round

Gran Torino was console only as I recall. Would love to see that on a PC.

[Other games you're playing]

I play anything Half Life related and am looking forward to Black Mesa Source.

And Crysis, MWarfare...............most FPS' really.

Very rarely play multiplayer as I always get fragged IE I'm not very good at it lol
