Audio Problems
Problem - Poor Quality / No Sound (floppy version) (Win9x and XP):
The game has no sound or the music is of poor quality.
Solution 1 (preferred):
Play the game in DOSBox. It also will work
with the MT-32 sound module, if you are fortunate to have one.
Solution 2:
Use VDMSound. The game work well with
VDMSound. The sound will be as good as your audio hardware, and as with DOSBox, it works with the MT-32 sound
module.
Solution 3:
Play the game with FreeSCI, a third party Interpreter
for Sierra's early SCI games.
Solution 4 (DOS/Win9x):
Install DOS drivers for your soundcard. Without DOS drivers installed you won't have sound in a DOS window
in Windows 9x. If you can't find DOS drivers for your soundcard, there is an alpha
(developmental) version of VDMS that you can try.
Problem - Poor Quality / No Sound (CD version):
The game has no music.
Solution 1 (preferred):
The music on the CD version is red book audio. Mount CD in DOSBox
with the "-t cdrom" and "-ioctl" switches. Also be sure that you can play regular audio
CDs on your PC.
Game Specific Bugs
Problem - Building freeze:
In chapter 4, whenever you click a building, the game freezes
Solution 1:
Download this patch Betrayal
at Krondor Update/Patch
Solution 2 (by SCID):
Play through all chapters in the northlands without music and sounds. The bug doesn't occur then. This
includes chapter four, and a latter chapter which also takes place in the northlands for a small part (The
one where you have to do three quests).
