Mods
KeeperFX
A reimplementation of Dungeon Keeper that allows for modern OS support and extended functionality over the original release.
KeeperFX was forked into a project called "KeeperFX Unofficial", It included numerous new fixes and features over the original. That fork has now gone onto becoming the official version and thus is now called simply "KeeperFX".
This maintained version can be downloaded from the Keeper Klan Forum and GitHub.
- A full copy of the game (either retail or digital release) is required.

Issues unresolved
Original Windows executables do not run/function
- The following fix will allow the 3D accelerated executables to launch successfully. However, the main menu and cursor are unusable. The opening cutscene is also choppy
- The fix was tested for the GOG.com release
- Even with this partial fix, the software rendered executables (
keeper95.exe
anddeeper95.exe
) will not run at all
Add partial compatibility (GOG.com release)[3] |

Reversed Audio - DOS
Some users reported reversed audio.[4]
Issues fixed
Installing under modern Windows
- The game installer is 16-bit only, making it impossible to install the game without a 3rd party solution.
Use KeeperFX[citation needed] |

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
