I own a retro PC with Windows 98SE (Pentium 3, TNT2, 128MB SD RAM) and I play the original 4CDs version of the game on that system, but I want to be able to play your perfect edition too on my Win10 desktop.

Best regards and thank you for taking your time to make this game accessible to as many gamers as possible on modern computers!

You're welcome . I'm here to help everyone, i hope you will enjoy this game on Windows 10 like me.

Random Crash Fixer added (Only for ZIP versions, SETUPS versions already have the fix inside)



DON'T USE IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM !
It's only for people who get random crash.

You will loose 1080p and texture filtering.

Thank you!

I'd like to test the new (all-in-one setup) version you posted recently but the download button ("telecharger") redirects to the main page...is that a mistake?

Thanks for your test insomniacgr !

Link fixed for the English All-In-One version .
Thank you for telling me

Hello,

Since I'm very interested in playing this game I have a question. I installed the Perfect Edition 1.1 plus the crash fix, cause it freezes every time. Now the cinematic aren't correct. It's like the upper part moves apart from the lower part, if you get what I mean. Did I do something wrong or is this part of the crash fix and I should just accept it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi TimoV, have you tried the installer shown in the first post of the topic ?

Hi there,

Thank you for the answer. I did use the installer you're showing me. The first option 'dgVoodoo2' didn't seem to work, at the end of the installation it gives an error and I have no other choice then to cancel it, after that it deinstals the game. So I've used the 'dxWnd' version but it's giving me a lot of freeze errors during the game and the cinematics aren't playing smooth. The crash fix doesn't seem to do it's thing.

I believe the installation with 'dgVoodoo2' worked one time but it only gave me freeze errors almost as soon as I started. Maybe I need to reinstall everything once again.

Hi Tgames,

Many thanks for all the hard work you put into making Atlantis: The Lost Tales accessible to younger generations in its best possible form!

I already played through the game once with the GOG version, without any notable issues (besides the rather minor issue of the missing masks etc. bug), but after upgrading my PC I noticed that the talking animations had become ridiculously fast in the same GOG version, which got me looking for a solution and that's how I came across your "perfect edition"!
I installed the 1.1 version of the perfect edition, and also added the last fix for 30 FPS.

Now the masks on the guards are visible without any problems during conversations!

And those talking animations: they're not too fast now, back to where I remember them being when I played the GOG version on my old PC - but they are still rather fast which I always assumed just showed how expectations back then were different from now (these animations are simplistic by today's standards), but then I watched this video which based on the comments section I know you are aware of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Y6gd7dA74
and I noticed that the talking animations there are slower - to the point where the "swaying" becomes almost invisible during short exchanges. Is this the original animation speed? is 30 FPS still faster than the original designers intended? What FPS is used in the above video to make the animations so slow (arguably for the better): 25, 20 FPS?

If you know the answers I would be grateful to hear them! I am very interested in getting the chance to play through this game once again but this time as close to the original intended conditions as possible (the game in its full glory without the bugs and the accelerated animations etc.). Maybe we just got used to playing with talking animations running faster than was ever intended - even at 30 FPS locked?
Looking forward to your thoughts!

And again, thanks a lot for providing us all with this awesome edition! (can I advertise it in the GOG forums?)

Hi Sat42 !

We are already able to smooth the game at the right speed in the next incoming game version !
It's 30fps the correct speed of the game indeed.



A lot better version than the Perfect Edition is finished since 1 week (we are in a closed beta).
It will be submitted to GOG to replace the current Atlantis The Lost Tales on their website.

This new version will the best version ever made of the game, and will replace this one :

- Fix the game running too fast
- Smooth gameplay at 4:3 ratio.
- 100% Compatible with Windows 10
- Fix all graphicals glitchs (Guards, Actyon...)
- Fix swapping between data (Hangar swap)
- Totally recoded scripts from zero (lot better code handling)
- Lot of unused cinematics, dialogues, events, musics make during the development of the game will be available.
=> Every "Director's Cut" features made by Cryo's Team will be public in this special version.
Including "Muria" music made by Pierre Esteve
=> 40 new dialogues and 5 new cutscenes (from the Cryo's development back in 1997)
=> A music player builtin the game
=> A cutscene player bultin in the game
=> A Visit Mode (like Egypt, Versailles, Aztec) builtin in the game (explore hidden area, like Creon's Secret Room, Stone Cercle, Flyer of the beginning of the game...)
=> A LOT better flower pot and boar event handling (A LOT MORE easier !!)

It will be the most complete, ever made version of Atlantis The Lost Tales.

The code is finished à 100%, we are working on the translation for other languages.
It's currently also in a beta test.

A huge huge work has been done since months to get this new version.

This "EXTENDED'CUT" version will be really a huge update (so much content added on the game) of Atlantis The Lost Tales.
It's like a Director's Cut but unofficial !

For the first time, "Muria" music will be in the game (it was made during the development of the game, but never used) :
[BBvideo 640,360]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnveRlZbD3k[/BBvideo]

I will make a trailer video to present this new version soon

Twilight Adventures is currently beta testing the new game for me.

And of course, you can talk about the Extended'Cut version incoming.
The Perfect Edition will be removed from here when the Extended'Cut will be released as a patch for GOG Release.
The patch will check the GOG license when update your GOG game to the Extended Version !

That sounds amazing. I hope it works better for me! Any idea yet when you guys are gonna launch this or if GOC is interested?

TimoV a écrit:That sounds amazing. I hope it works better for me! Any idea yet when you guys are gonna launch this or if GOC is interested?

It's already released

Just download and install the Perfect Edition here (Select Option 1 "DgVoodoo2" in the setup).

Then use the Extended's Cut Patcher here :

(Just click "Update")





Then launch the game !

Salut !

Merci beaucoup pour la mise en ligne de ce jeu mythique.
Je suis (très) novice en informatique et je n'arrive pas à installer le jeu. Une fois téléchargé, j'extrais le fichier zip dans mon lecteur C, mais le fichier Cryo/Atlantis n'existe pas. Il apparaît seulement comme "atlantis setup (FR)" qui est un fichier .exe.
Je l'ouvre en tant qu'administrateur et un message d'erreur apparaît : "Windows ne parvient pas à accéder au périphérique, au chemin d'accès, ou au fichier sépcifié. Vous ne disposez peut-être pas des autorisations appropriées pour avoir accès à l'élément".
J'ai essayé également de le renommer en setup.reg, mais rien à faire, le même message apparaît.

Pouvez-vous m'aider s'il vous plaît ?
Bonne semaine !

Thank you!

I’d like to ask you if you had any contact and possibly a conversation with anyone from the original development team of Cryo?

I’m searching actively for members of that original team to ask them about these times, anecdotal events from the development, story related stuff, etc.

Hi insomniacgr !

Sadly, it's quite over a year i've not got in touch with few people i've contacted from former Cryo who helped me to understand few thing for this project. I was on others projects but i still have very few contact with the Assistant of Pierre Estève, you should definitively contact him though Pierre Estève Facebook page. Maybe when he will have time he can share some of your questions to Pierre and others people who was involved on the game.

Best Regards.

(I sent that PM on tgames@hotmail.fr some days ago, but there is no still answer. Maybe the person, who were doing all this is busy right now and I wish to find him here or maybe his friends to help me out. I leave this PM here too, maybe someone, who got anything about localization of Atlantis The lost Tales can tell me how can we achieve RUS version together, if there is some chance to make it. Sorry, if its wrong place to leave such message!)
"Greetings, TGamesFR!
I am sorry, if my knowledge of english language will be hard to understand during this message, but please, tell me then what I need to tell you exactly about and I will try to be clear next time!
The reason why I typing this message to you is that I found your post on GOG forum about Atlantis Series about different languages. I am from Russia, and my family and I are big fans of Cryo Intertainment Games! My mother and I spend so much time playing Atlantis 2, Faust, Egypt and many other games like that!
However, we never could play Atlantis The Lost Tales together, cause my relatives, brother and sister can not understand english language very well, they could not learn it at school as well, cause nobody at their time could teach them well.
So here I am, after a long time trying to play old pirate version of this game in russian language, asking you to help me: can you make it good as Perfect Edition with other languages, but in russian please? I know, that you told that rus voice sounds kind of dump, and yes... thats true Anyway, we all understand that! And many people who love these games are already old enough to understand such thing and still enjoy the game because of its mystery, story and music having full understanding of what is going on)
I am sorry again, if I said something wrong and you didnt get me, I will do my best if need to!
Please, tell me what do you need for such thing and how can I help you? I really want to make this thing happend and even if you need something from me - tell me, I am not a programmer, but maybe even my knowledge of some things can help us!
Hope to see your message soon!
Have a good day! Good luck!"

Bonjour !

J'adorerais redécouvrir ce jeu que j'ai encore en boîte chez mes parents pour la version PC^^
Le lien FR ne marche plus par contre ! :s C'est le seul qui ne marche plus, alors que les liens ENG et ESP fonctionnent toujours T_T

J'avais déjà essayé de le refaire il y a longtemps, mais les personnages étaient accélérés et j'avais dû utiliser un CPU Killer. Est-ce que ce problème est réglé dans cette version ?

Cordialement,
Beast

Salut Tgames,
Je me suis inscris essentiellement pour te remercier
du superbe travail que tu as réalisé avec la série Atlantis.
Tu as rendu obsolète toutes les versions dématérialisées !
Un grand merci

De rien
Et désolé pour les réponses tardive, très vite je vais m'y remettre à les améliorer encore .

Nous sommes en 2023, plusieurs années après l'ouverture de ce thread. Je viens à peine de m'inscrire sur ce site, pour une seule raison : te remercie pour ce travail impressionnant. On sent que tu es un passionné, et que tu sois aussi généreux dans cette passion m'impressionne.

J'ai connu ce jeu quand j'étais une enfant, et c'est ma mère qui m’y a initié. Aujourd'hui, elle souhaite y rejouer, et malgré toute ma bonne volonté, impossible pour moi de faire fonctionner la version CD sur son PC. Je ne peux que te remercie encore très chaleureusement pour avoir offert à une fan comme elle la possibilité de rejouer à un jeu qui lui a donné tant de plaisir tant d'années auparavant.

Tu as toute mon admiration et ma sympathie. Encore une fois, merci !
