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.

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).
