Riven 1.02 Update Patch
Jul 29, 2021 Tribes of Midgard update 1.02 (1.002.000) (July 29, 2021) is now available to download on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and PC. According to the official Tribes of Midgard patch notes, the latest update added some changes, tweaks, and bug fixes. Apart from this, Tribes of Midgard version 1.02 (1.002) also includes stability fixes. Bdata1.mhk and jdata3.mhk are nothing from Riven 1.0 CD5, this from Riven Updater 1.02. I have to find my Myst/Riven 6 disc. These are patch files that.
How to Play Riven in Microsoft Windows XP
This tutorial will teach you how to get Riven: The Sequel to Myst to run in Microsoft Windows XP.
OK, so you got this really cool game called Riven back when you were still running Windows 98/ME/2000. You played it obsessively; everyday, after school, you would rush home and throw one of the discs into your PC just so you could once more be immersed in that beautiful and shattered world that is Riven. Now, you know practically everything there is to know about the game. You haven't played in a while because you want to savour your hard-earned victory before returning to Riven, also you've upgraded your OS to Microsoft's brand spankin' new Windows XP. After a while, you get the itch again and install Riven on your new system. The installation process goes well. You open your start menu and click on your Riven shortcut... That's when your whole world falls to pieces...
Does this sound like you? If so, you've come to the right place; I went through the same agony you're experiencing right now. Luckily, there's a cure.
Riven Updater 1.02 Patch
The first and easiest solution to your problem would be to go to Brøderbund's Website and download the Riven Updater 1.02 Patch; however, this may not be quite so easy now that Brøderbund's Website no longer exists. Fortunately, one guy at Steve's XP Games Corner was smart enough to archive a copy of the patch before Brøderbund shut down. Thanks Steve!

Simply install the patch in the same folder that you installed Riven in (e.g. C:Program FilesRiven on my machine).
Windows 98/ME Compatibility Mode
If Riven still won't run after you've installed the patch, try running Riven in Windows 98 / Windows ME Compatibility Mode.
- Navigate to the riven.exe file on your hard drive (C:Program FilesRivenriven.exe on my machine.)
- Right click on the file and click “Properties.”
- Under the “Compatibility” tab, place a check next to the “Run this program in compatibility mode” option.
- Select “Windows 98 / Windows ME” from the dropdown menu.
- Apply the change and click “OK.”
QuickTime Movies have no Sound
Well, now Riven is playable, but why is there no sound for any of the movies? Is this the question you're asking yourself? Try this:
- Find the file Mohawk.w32 in your Riven directory.
- Open it with a plain text editor, like Notepad.
- Change the line that reads “fEnableAudioProxy=true” to “fEnableAudioProxy=false” (without quotes).
- Save the file in place of the original.
My Sound STILL doesn't work!
If editing the Mohawk.w32 file according to the directions above didn't work, the problem most likely is a compatibility issue with your version of QuickTime Player. Try uninstalling your version of QuickTime and installing the version that came on Riven Disc 1. This should solve your problem, if it doesn't, I'm afraid this author is all out of solutions. There is probably a solution out there somewhere, but it is not here. Sorry.

'
Riven' is the direct sequel to 'Myst,' one of the most well-known point-and-click adventure games ever created. Like its predecessor, 'Riven' has almost no violence or outer conflict and instead relies upon atmosphere and clever puzzles to pull the player in. Unfortunately, Riven cannot run on modern computers straight out of the box due to hardware and software limitations. You can, however, tweak several game files to get the game working. It may still crash occasionally, but some functionality is at least better than none.
Instructions
1. Open the Start menu, and select 'Control Panel.'
2. Double-click the 'Add or Remove Programs' icon---or the 'Programs and Features' icon in Windows Vista---and scroll down the list of installed programs until you come across the entry for Quicktime.
3. Select 'Quicktime,' and uninstall it from the menu.
4. Install 'Riven,' and allow it to install its own version of Quicktime.
5. Download and install an updated version of Quicktime once the 'Riven' install has finished. Riven will recognize the updated Quicktime player once it has finished installing.
6. Download and install the Riven 1.02 Patch. This will update the game and increase its compatibility with newer systems.
7. Open 'My Computer,' and go to the Riven installation directory. The default directory is 'C:Program FilesRiven.'
8. Right-click the 'Mohawk.w32' file in the Riven directory, and select 'Open With.'
9. Select 'Notepad' from the list of programs, then click 'OK.' This will allow you to edit the 'Mohawk.w32' file in Notepad.
10. Locate the line that reads 'fEnableAudioProxy=true' in the file, then change it to 'fEnableAudioProxy=false.' This will allow 'Riven' to properly utilize the Quicktime installation.
11. Save the file, and launch 'Riven.' It should function properly now.
