Features: - more than 30 non-linear missions in which, for instance, you have the duty to save Little John and Brother Tuck, to prevent a wedding between Marianne and the revolting Guy of Gisbourne or to attack the taxation collectors of the Sheriff of Nottingham - visit five giant castles on different ways, at day- and night times and at different weather conditions - up to 9 characters

Description

Info: Fixes Steam and retail versions of Robin Hood on modern Operating Systems. Just place it inside the install folder of Robin Hood - Legends of Sherwood and run it every time you want to play Robin Hood. (This program installs older and only for the game working versions of ddwrapper and DXWnd just for Robin Hood - these programs give a massive performance boost.) My program will install fixed fonts and fix the resolution on some monitors and save you the hassle to configure DXWnd, start and close it each time you start the game. Have fun playing! All credits go to Aqrit(dev of ddwrapper) and ghotik (dev of DXWnd)! Uninstall: just delete 'ddraw.dll', 'aqrit.cfg' and the folder '#DXWnd' from Robin Hood Install Dir.

Man, thanks! This really fixed the problem. I was trying to make it work with DXWnd by myself but for some reason it didn't work. Thanks again!

There is a much better working fix out there:

Gog.com

Deinstall my fix by deleting 'ddraw.dll', 'aqrit.cfg' and the folder '#DXWnd' from Robin Hood Install Dir.

*Download and extract all files from dgVoodoo2 to the game folder "Robin Hood".
*Copy&Paste; all dll files from "MS" into the main game folder "Robin Hood".
Make sure that everything from dgVoodoo is in the right folder:
"\SteamApps\common\Robin Hood\dgVoodooCpl.exe"
"\SteamApps\common\Robin Hood\DDraw.dll"
...

Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and under DirectX enable 'Fast video memory access'.
And you are good to go^^

Sometimes the game gets stuck in the loading screen. You have to kill it in taskmanager and start again.

Good luck^^

is there any way this could be adapted to the other game these guys made: Desperados Wanted Dead or Alive? Specifically I'm trying to get what you guys did in DXWnd to make it run right. BC as of now I have gotten rid of most of the lag but it is still slow whenever I move the mouse or pan the screen, but otherwise the game runs mostly fine

it should definitely be possible to run it without lag using DXWnd and ddwrapper.
Sadly at the moment I do not have time to code a launcher but please search goolge for "desperados DXWnd" so you can fix it yourself by installing and configuring those programs.

Good luck^^

Hi, I've put the fix file in the installation directory but when starting the file appears this message, why?

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Error 2:
"Robin Hood.exe" not found.

Please move "Robin Hood - Performance Fix.exe" to the same folder in which "Robin Hood - Legends of Shwerwood" was installed.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

I run the retail versionof the Gold Edition on my Windows 7 (I've this problem: the game run in purple screen mode in a little window).

Solved: I had to rename the file "Inizio del gioco" (it means Start game in English) into "Game".

But the purple screen error is still there. I'm mad about it. -_-

Just got it since it doesn't work on DXWnd. Does it still work even when you open it on Steam?

Администратор, огромное вам, спасибо, я воспользовался вашим способом, там где нужно скачать dgVoodoo2 и сделать все действия, перечисленные вами, но возникла "небольшая" проблема (не очень приятная). В игре пропал ВЕСЬ текст. Помогите, мне, пожалуйста! Я буду очень благодарен вам! (На всякий случай, у меня Windows 10).
