Update: After installing both updates, doing the config.ini fix that RMJ13 mentioned, and using the cracked exe in the first folder (not the one with the patches), my game now works, running from the shortcut, not just the executeable!

If you're using the crack that was in the folder with the patches, this is probably why you're game isn't working. Mine works fine now that I'm using the other crack. This should really be labelled or something in the description as it's pretty confusing.

Okay, another update.

It loads up and works but everything in the first level is black as black can be, and I can't see shit other than light sources. So the game loads now but it's unplayable. Oh well.

Update once again, found the fix, here's the post that told me what I needed, along with some more useful info:

"You need to turn dynamic shadows on off, low or medium to not get black/missing textures. If you set it on high the textures will go black. You find this setting on the advanced tab in Options/Video.


If you are an ATI user you may need to copy atidxx32.dll from your system32 folder to "NecroVisioN Lost Company\Bin" to run the game in dx10 mode."

Thanks! Love the first game and the original Painkiller. Will buy this game ASAP if its as good as the last game.

I fixed the ATI problem easily!Just right click on the game icon,select shortcut,and you'll see a target path like "C:\Program Files\1C Company\NecroVisioN Lost Company\Bin\NecroVisioN.exe" and just add +dx10 with space and click ok.You'll get path like "C:\Program Files\1C Company\NecroVisioN Lost Company\Bin\NecroVisioN.exe" +dx10 and you'll be able to play on Windows 7 32-bit with ATI!

I don't know if any of you got it to work in win7 32bit with ati high end cards. But I still couldn't and have given up. Thanks for the trick on the dx 10 to shortcut unfornately that did not work with my 4890 xxx ati card too. I do have a gtx 285 by XFX I could try. this is card is a trade off my old broken GTX 280XXX. I got it to start though only through chapter 6. Bugs me but no update patch from the company then nothing I could do. i am no programmer. Anyways I thought I would write the head up for those of you that don't know yet.
Review from myself:
very classic FPS, nothing special change from the first one out except maybe few weapons here and there. Not the worse time wasting thing out there but could definately improve on graphics and stability as far as OS capability wise.

nice download speed man, hovering between 40 and 70 kbps, SWEET.
Bought the original, good game, but couldnt find any good multiplayer matches so ill just download this.

HELLO EVERYONE,
i, like most of you have had a few problems with this game. NEVAR fear for it does work and will work with my help.
firstly try the instructions and crack provided, this seems to work for 40% of people.
1. install game
2.copy crack in bin file
3. run shortcut or.exe either is fine
secondly their were some issues with ati users getting BSODS and directx10 not working
try firstly to
1. on the shortcut on the desktop add +dx10 to the end of the directory
2. change the config file how it is mentione earlier
third;y some pople stil can't get it to work
1. download this other crack https://piratebayproxy.live/torrent/4736753/NecroVision.RELOADED.crack.only
then run this and it will work
hope this helps everyone

thx

SEEEEEEED
