Hype: The Time Quest

Windows - 1999

How to Play

To install the game on newer 64 bits machines, use the Alternative Installer made by SuiMachine, many thanks for his work.

The essential German files have been scanned, SetupUbi have several generic positive flags, nothing to worry about.

So, I did install it as described (German version) and I can play it (30% of the time it crashes, don't know why). But when I try saving the game it won't create a save data file... any ideas on what I can do?

Ich habe Hype heruntergeladen und entpackt, leider startet die Installation nicht. Ich klicke die "setup.exe" Datei an und es passiert nichts. Was kann ich tun?

I'm probably a bit dumb, but how exactly am I supposed to download the alternative Installer linked above from Github? There is no release i can select to download.

Thanks, it works well.
Crashdump file
Attempting to start the game in D3D mode causes an unhandled page fault exception.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install the game to a clean WINEPREFIX, by:
a) export WINEARCH=win32
b) Set Windows version to "Windows NT 4.0" (previously reported as the most stable, other versions appear to suffer from the same error).
c) Run the installer, setup.exe, from disk
d) Disable the "Microsoft Direct X Media" check from the installer
e) Set PlayVideo=0 in windows/UbiSoft/ubi.ini
2) Download and install NOCD for D3D versione
3) Run the executable with: `wine MaiD3Dvr_bleu.exe`

Tried installing using the alternate installer linked above, but when I run it I get an error in a window named "Setup" that says "No optical drive found was found on your computer." What do I do to fix this?

I contacted MyAbandonware and sent them the German version. Previously the Dutch version was displayed as the German version, which has now been fixed by MyAbandonware. The link to the German version now works.

I was able to install the version using the alternative installer from SuiMachin and run the game with the 'nGlide Wrapper Patch' on Windows 10.

ENOSTUS: "ICH HAB'S GEFUNDEN!" 05 Apr. 2024

Ich habe MyAbandonware kontaktiert und ihnen die deutsche Version zukommen lassen. Zuvor wurde die niederländische Version als deutsche Version angezeigt, was nun von MyAbandonware behoben wurde. Der Link zur deutschen Version funktioniert nun.

Ich konnte die Version mithilfe des alternativen Installers von SuiMachin installieren und das Spiel mit dem 'nGlide Wrapper Patch' auf Windows 10 starten.

@GUSTUS Kein Grund, jemanden umzubringen. Wie schon Enostus im Spiel sagte: "Ich hab's gefunden! Ich hab's gefunden!". Und ich kann es Ihnen auch schicken. Bitte suchen Sie einfach in einer Suchmaschine Ihrer Wahl nach meinem Namen "Alexander Johr", und Sie werden schnell meine Webseite finden. Von dort finden Sie meine Kontaktdaten. Wenn Sie mir eine E-Mail schreiben, kann ich Ihnen einen Link teilen, den ich in der Vergangenheit gefunden habe, um das Spiel auf Deutsch herunterzuladen.

Mounting of ccd-File is not problem with Virtual CloneDrive, but under Windows 10 i can't install it, setup isn't appearing, maybe udner a virtual WIndows XP it would be possible.
