Installing on modern versions of Windows
64-bit versions of Windows can't run the CD installer due to it being a 16-bit application. Trying to run the installer in Windows 7 x64 will cause the process to freeze in the background and require the task manager to close.
Manual installation[4]
|
- Create a folder named Hype somewhere on your hard drive (from now on, we'll be referring to it as <path-to-game>).
- From the root directory of your CD copy files: DSETUP.DLL, DSETUP16.DLL, DSETUP32.DLL to <path-to-game>.
- Copy folders DLL, Gamedata and InstData to <path-to-game>.
- Go to exe folder on your CD.
- Copy Gli.ini to <path-to-game>.
- Copy MaiD3Dvr_bleu.exe from D3D folder to <path-to-game>.
- Copy MaiDFXvr_bleu.exe from Glide 3x folder copy to <path-to-game>.
- Copy all files from UbiConfig folder to <path-to-game>.
- Go back to a root folder of your CD and go to LangData\<your language>\world\.
- Copy folder levels to <path-to-game>\Gamedata\World.
- When asked about scaling folders, answer yes.
- Go to the Windows directory (
%WINDIR% )
- In it create a folder named
UbiSoft .
- From the root directory of your CD copy files:
DSETUP.DLL , DSETUP16.DLL , DSETUP32.DLL and SetupUbi.exe to a newly created %WINDIR%\UbiSoft
- It may be possible that the folder already exists, as it's shared with other Ubisoft product of that era. In such case, do not replace any of the files.
- From
InstData directory on your CD, copy strings.eng to %WINDIR%\UbiSoft
- Download installation package for Hype: The Time Quest and extract it.
- From config folder copy
ubi.ini to %WINDIR%\UbiSoft
- If you had other Ubisoft products installed that use the same application, you have to manually edit ubi.ini adding
Hype - The Time Quest under [INSTALLED PRODUCTS] as well as the section responsible for game configuration (just copy lines from [Hype - The Time Quest] to [OSD] from ubi.ini provided in installation package).
- If your language is different than English, edit ubi.ini, find a line
Language=English under [Hype - The Time Quest] section and change it to a language you're using in your copy (e.g. for Polish it's Language=Polish - incorrect language will make all the characters mute).
- Go to a folder, where you've extracted the files from installation package.
- GO to a folder Compatibility and run PatchInstall.bat to add the compatibility entries to system's database.
- Install nGlide wrapper, if you haven't already.
- Finally, go to <path-to-game> and run Ubiassistant.exe and choose 3DFX configuration.
- Run the game using MaiDFXvr_bleu.exe.
