Download creatures 3 update 2

I did install Creatures 3 first, then Docking Station, then patched supposedly successfully. Yet no offline button, and it of course tries to connect to the old Creatures Labs server which has been down for what, 20 years or so now?

I can't remember if the patch actually added the button or if that was a fix someone else put out years ago. I know the last 2 or 3 times over probably 5 years now that I've attempted to get this to work with Docking Station, very unfortunately I had no success ever finding that old file anywhere online. I think there was a couple forums that to access the download you had to be registered but they've long been abandoned by the mods and probably most if not all the community.

I'll look again if I ever find it I will post the link and probably upload it somewhere as a back up link and include that as well. If not, I hope one day someone finds it or one of us makes our own fix lol. Levi 7 points. It doesn't let me download dirextx7 which is required for the game, but i guess its not compatible with windows Am i out of luck? For example, Creatures 3 or Creatures Adventures For soak tests, specify --autokill before the game name to kill agents which generate run time errors.

We may have multiple downloads for few games when different versions are available. Also, we try to upload manuals and extra documentation when possible. If the manual is missing and you own the original manual, please contact us!

Various files to help you run Creatures 3, apply patches, fixes, maps or miscellaneous utilities. MyAbandonware More than old games to download for free! Browse By Developer Creature Labs Ltd. The drive letter may be different for you if you have moved your default documents folder. This is not the default setting, which is unfortunate as not doing this will cause some strange behaviour, largely the game being unable to find the files it requires to run certain add-ons!

For this reason, if you intend to use GoG Galaxy, I would highly recommend installing the game through the standalone. This is what the installer should look like before hitting install:. After you have done this, you can point GoG Galaxy to the correct folder. It is also recommended you install the Creatures Remastered Patch if you intend to run 3rd party programs in the future, such as the Genetics Kit.

The only way to fix this appears to be editing the registry. At this point Creatures 3 will be playable, but not Docking Station? Sadly the official servers were shut down a long time ago, and originally DS required an account to even get into the game world!

As you have probably seen a mile away, absolutely not! Whilst we are doing this, we will also install Catalogue Tester available for download here. This add-on will help us make sure everything is installed correctly. Our first add-ons, exciting! So how do we install these? Then, open up the. Normally I would suggest testing it out, but we still cannot get into Docking Station.

To fix this we will now install DS Offline Option. Open up DS OfflineOption. For the above to work, you need to create a new world! The game is now playable. At this point, you will want to boot the game up.

You will be prompted to create a new world. In the Hub, click the middle door, and you will be taken to the Comms Room. Click on the Agent List button, the cube looking icon fourth down in the list, and you will be presented with a list of your current injectable agents. Soon a window should pop up confirming the game is unpacking Catalogue files in the correct place. If it says it is not, then something has gone wrong with the install, please refer to Common Issues [1] at the end of this guide.

Assuming everything has proceeded correctly, congratulations! Give yourself a cookie! At this point, you can go ahead and play the game for a while if you like. There is one last thing I like to do before playing, however, which will make the experience much more pleasant at modern resolutions. You will want to download an application called Windowed Borderless Gaming. You should then have a window that looks like this:. Your game should now automatically run in borderless windowed mode whilst this application is running!

This part of the guide will list out some recommended mods and agents to improve your play experience. These are split into three categories; Essential, Recommended and Advanced.

Essential add-ons are mods that are considered to fix critical issues and make important improvements within the game, and so this guide will be assuming that you are installing these. Recommended add-ons are add-ons that I found interesting and that have been recommended by the wider community.

These might be extra tools to make life easier or fun toys for your creatures to play with. Everything here should be considered optional for this guide. Advanced add-ons are additions that are useful, and even recommended, but are complex to use, very powerful, or require a bit of in-depth setup, or all three! Everything here is also considered optional.

In addition, it is important to install agents to their correct game. If it is marked as C3, the agent must be installed in the Creatures 3 folders. If it is marked DS, it must be installed in the Docking Station folders. Advanced tip: I would extract the contents of any. Do bear in mind however that some agents may not work like this regardless, at least in my experience. In fact, you should probably do that anyway. This section of the guide focuses on extra tools and utilities that are useful in some way, or just provide some nice quality of life improvements.

This section of the guide focuses on improved or extra Creatures Breeds you can take care of in your games. This section of the guide focuses on extra plants and animals that are either useful to include, or are just plain neat. In this section, you can find a list of common issues that crop up during installation or play. This is a problem that seems to occur for some people, but not others, and at the time of writing I have no idea what actually causes the issue, unfortunately.

How to fix: The registry fix is the most daunting, but it is super easy. However, care should still be taken as the registry is super important to the computer system.

You will need to use a registry editor such as the built-in regedit. You then need to search for every instance of creatures and change the incorrect directories. Alternatively, see FixRegistry. If you need to edit the machine. As this is a living document, and more mods will come, and more fixes will be found I'm pretty sure! If you have a suggestion, please drop it here , and let me know! We made it! I want to give a big thank you to everyone who helped me with the guide with suggestions or poking me to keep at it!

And of course I want to give a huge thank you to the creators of each and every one of these mods, there literally wouldn't be a guide without you and the game would not be in any way the same.

This makes the rocks entertaining to play with now, as to not confuse Creatures. This is a modified file limiting the maximum number of beetles to A version without the Desert Terrarium plant is included for use with the Desert Nursery included later in this guide as a Recommended Addon.

It adds light and heat emitters all over the place and helps create actual weather in Terrariums other than the Norn Terrarium. The environmental controls are now more than decoration! Most rooms are warmer, including the Bridge and a big increase for the Desert, the Marine Terrarium is no longer affected by seasons, and most temperature controls will begin one step higher.

This will be invaluable for your Bondi Norns and other carnivorous breeds. The vine itself is now also invisible, as creatures were found to stare at that for long periods of time, for whatever reason. This requires the Hardman Norn Pack to work! If you're having a bug with 'orchiden. This agent may cause lag on very large populations, so if you are having issues with that, this may be the culprit.

This reclassifies the umbilical cord as a door. Naturally, this is only for docked worlds.
