Deer Hunt Challenge

Windows - 1999

How to Play

Notes:

  • Autorun will generate serial code when you start installing the game, write it in some text document. You will need to enter that code after you install the game, to finish the installation. Then the window on online registration will appear - click "Register later"
  • When you install the game, make sure to select "Full" installation. Once you installed the game - use fixed exe-file, copy DHC.exe from the archive and put it in Deer Hunt Challenge SE/EXE/dhcse folder. That exe-file should fix the error "Please insert correct CD-ROM" when the game doesn't recognize the disc image in virtual drive. It is not NoCD, the disc image of CD still must be mounted in virtual drive when you run the game!
  • The game doesn't work on modern systems at all, showing only black screen. But it must work fine on old systems, try to run it on Virtual Machine with old Windows, like Windows 2000 or XP, for example

Even when the patch is applied, it gives an error message saying 'dhc exe has encountered a problem and needs to be closed' and the game does not open.

I added fixed exe-file that should fix error "Please insert correct CD-ROM". It is not NoCD, the disc image still must be mounted in virtual drive when you run the game.
Also, seems like the game doesn't work on modern systems, better to use Virtual Machine to play it.

About serial codes - Autorun automatically generates it when you run the installation, simply write it down somewhere
