I've never played it, but I do know the main character shows up as a side character in Blair Witch Project Volume I: Rustin Parr, and that's one of my most favorite survival horror games.

I cast level 5 resurrection.

Basically the only good OG survival horror game that's PC exclusive so it's fair to call it a rare gem.

The fact that this statement is true is an utter fucking tragedy.

Nocturne was actually scary like way scarier than any RE game I have ever played

The only thing I really remember about this game was the horrendously long load times.

that was your PC then. I remember the game being horribly dark, before I found the gamma adjustment that is.

I can't even get this game to install.

I've been running the SETUP.exe and alls that happens is it hangs in the background before disappearing. Running it on windows 7 64 bit, but apparently other people are capable of installing it.

>>2216681
Correction, it's actually just hanging in the background indefinitely.

I went into Task Manager and the set-up is just sitting there in the processes, but won't show up.

A while ago I tried to install this game on windows 7. The furthest I got was being able to play it with no visual at all beyond the menu and the gamma selection. I kind of resolved to forgetting it, but if anyone here has managed to run it, that would be cool.

I haven't discovered a way for me to install it, but here are so ways to resolve graphical issues, apparently.

- When installing on 64 bit, do not install in "Program Files (x86)" directory. Use "C:\Games" for example. Also note to not apply any compatibility options on setup executable. Make sure to do a full install of all acts. Also install "Nocturne Patch 2" (version 1.00.52). Note that this patch will find the game directory instantly if you copy it to game folder and launch it from there.

- Some of the cutscenes use the old indeo codec that isn't included in windows anymore and the current version is no longer freeware. An older freeware version of the codec can be found here.

- Apply these compatibility options to nocturne.exe before running:
1) "Windows 98/ Windows ME" mode
2) Disable desktop composition
3) Disable themes

- Once the game is launched, go to video options and set these options:
1) 3D hardware on
2) Select Directx 7 for the graphics API
3) Now set the game resolution since more options will be available after 3d hardware is
turned on and the the graphics API version is selected. Up to 1280X1024 should be
selectable for most.
4) 32 bits per pixel
5) Flashlight Halo to complex

- In the audio options, turn off hardware mixing to avoid missing audio during cutscenes and other audio bugs. 44100Hz can also be selected.
How did you install it on windows 7?

Isn't this game made by the Bloodrayne devs? I remember seeing some screens of it and thinking it looked really cool and SPOOOKY. How is it for anyone that played it and can remember it?

Yup. In fact, one of the characters in Nocturne was supposed to be the vampire in Bloodrayne.

Most will compare it to Resident Evil, but most will also say its a lot better than it.

I have no idea, that was two years ago. A lot of google searching.
I might try again these days and if I succeed (or fail) I'll update the thread

Would very much appreciate it if someone tried this NOW.

There's next to nothing online about how to solve the setup's not properly launching.

Still waiting for a fix.

probably an XP VM or dual boot.
