Dino Crisis PC Problem

Dolnośląskie, Poland

Hello, I have a weird problem with the game. The game starts correctly, however, I don't see options like: new game, load game, options, as if that was not enough, the game starts the demo after pressing any button, then game returns back to the main menu and the whole process loops. is there is any way to fix it??? P.S. i am playing on WIN 10 and i used dgVooDoo already

Hello! These are known compatibility issues of the game. Unfortunately, if you're already using dVoodoo, the game might still not work because of an incompatibility with your graphics card driver. Sharing your details about your setup may help.

Out of interest, what is your current PC uptime? I found if I went over a certain uptime, something stupid like 5+ days it would loop the menu, but anything below was fine for me.

I have quick start on, which means my uptime is always massive until I force a proper shut down, that seems to solve most of my DC2 troubles, alongside with using voodoo.

yeah @MrMcsqueezy had this problem due to his PC uptime open task manager > performance and on the CPU tab at the bottom should have your pc uptime

The updated drivers could be a problem, but it's hard to tell. I could look up my driver version (I had similar issues and had to stop updating them), but my setup runs Windows 7, so it might not be relevant at all.

In my case there is useful a reinstalling of media player you are using...

  1. Delete media player.
  2. Reload PC.
  3. Install media player (if you really need it).
  4. Launch the game.

It's very weird but helps with 90% chance.

Couple more years and in order to run DC2 you'll have to go to Mordor and throw a ring into the volcano xD.

GOG Release of Dino Crisis 2

Just want to announce the GOG release is approved for Speedruns. After testing it seems to be identical to the Vanilla version so will be usable on the main board. There is still the small chance something is found (we only have so much time in a day to be testing the release) that may require split
