I've been trying to find where I can download Docking Station, but all of the links I can find on where the download is are defunct. I can't find a place to download it anywhere><.

You should be able to download the game here.

Welcome to the forums :)

If you have any trouble getting Creatures Docking Station online, you can check the server's status here.

As we are using this topic as a FAQ thread now I'll add some extra info in here..

Server.cfg Details

For users who already have played Docking Station online in the past, deleting your old server.cfg file from within the Docking Station folder will allow the game to search for the new servers.

Shortcut Compatibility/Admin

If you have any trouble running the game itself, before trying any Compatibility modes (where "Windows 98" compatibility is the only recommended mode that will work),

Right click on the shortcut to the DS game, select "Properties", then within the Shortcut tab change the "Target:" field to point to engine.exe instead of the old installblast.exe, so the contents of the field will vaguely resemble:

"C:\Program Files\Docking Station\engine.exe" --autokill

Then click on the "Compatibility" tab, tick the checkbox
for "Run this program as an administrator", and click the "OK" button.

16 bit Display

If Docking Station complains that it needs to be run in
16 bit mode, you can either change your Desktop to
16 bit display or you can run the game full screen:

With the game closed, in the Docking Station folder there is a file called machine.cfg, drag this file into an open Notepad window, and where you see the line "Display Type" change the number so the line reads:

"Display Type" 2

and then save and close the file.

I always found this version is a bit different than the version Don is hosting. It can be a different pressing though.
