Is there anywhere I can download this? I keep reading about a patch for it that fixes things like building over vehicles and such, but have yet to find it.
-
I would like to know if it was possible to write a network patch for Dune II....
It would be cool to play it in network... :-D
-
I don't recall the Amiga-version ever being patched. As far as I know, the patch was for the PC version of the game.
-
I've heard about the patch that allows 255 units at once instead of 32, but I've never managed to find it.
-
There is a patch on aminet FFS
and i just did a quick goole, first page, loads of links to patch for amiga dune2.
Cant check in work cause it blokes all sites that mention games
-
The patches on Aminet are made by third-party, and not by Westwood. They contain various game play-enhancements, but not any major bug fixes.
-
I was replying to etho asking about the 255 unit patch he couldnt find anywhere :crazy:
-
Too bad there isn't a patch to allow selection of more than one unit at a time ;-) I (still) love Dune 2, but that aspect does make the game a bit tedious.
-
Well, it *was* the first modern RTS game. What do you expect? ;-)
-
LOL, true enough. Though I am looking forward to the possibility of an AGA conversion, now that would be pretty cool.
-
JJ,
I can't find even the 255 unit patch on aminet, even when I search for just "dune" and look at all the results. Can you post a link here?

I think its great, and have no problem with its layout - although the only thing I regret is that after clicking on a unit you then have to click on an "action" and then the location/target. Its a shame they didn't manage a context sensitive interface cutting out the middle step.
But like you say, it was the first, and I don't see there's been much progress with the genre that isn't superficial.

google: site:aminet.net dune 2 (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aaminet.net+dune+2)

i found this Dune II (Westwood Associates/Virgin) [d]link (http://www.amiga.org)[/d]
i am so stupid, i don't read it.... i am sorry.

1NOM155,
Yeah, that link leads to a document that shows you how to manually "crack" Dune II to remove the copy protection, but that's it.
Piru,
Those search results lead to cheats mislabeled as patches that just give you trainers or make the game generally easier to beat. They don't fix the 255 object or the building on vehicles bugs.

Yeah, I think the constant "Yes sir." and "Movin' out" is starting to drive my girlfriend a little buggy.

I agree, which is why I use the hotkeys instead of clicking on the actions on the sidebar; it's a lot faster than moving the mouse back and forth.
