Re: Tech Tips (game not working? Read this!)
Well, I upgraded from Nvidia 8600 to an ATI 4850, so i reinstalled the game, then installed the 1.0 patch from here, then the graphics patch from here, set it at 1280x1024 and ---- ta da - the game works! Look through this thread and you'll see I had all sorts of grief with my nvidia card, trying all sorts of things.
The best I could manage was software mode using a slowdown utility (see above!). Now with an ATI card I need no slowdown software or anything, and the game (well the text especially!) looks fantastic! Now all I have to do is start learning to play the game and survive until my team has levelled up a bit!!! |

Re: Tech Tips (game not working? Read this!)
Moved on to a new PC. Any idea if W&W will run on Win7 64 'out of the box' without endless tweaking?
Thanks in advance

No. It won't! I'm making real headway using virtual PC with windows 98 though. Don't I feel lucky I saved that old CD. Still not perfect, but I might be getting there.

Re: Tech Tips (game not working? Read this!)
Hi guys, quite new here and was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue. I can get W&W up and running on Win 10, crashes occasionally of course, but I have a different problem. Whenever I move the in-game cursor over any icon on the menus or to choose a different town or the inventory icon etc etc.. The cursor freezes on the icon and won't move for a few seconds even though i'm still moving the cursor. It makes it difficult to click on icons too. If anyone has any light to shed on this it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: This is embarrassing, bit I fixed it by changing the "driver" in the Graphics Options to "D3D 640x480". I realise this was mentioned below in an older post but I didn't think that could be the issue. Anyway, thats that if anybody has this issue. Last edited by Veneficium; 04-30-2017 at 11:06 AM. |

Re: Tech Tips (game not working? Read this!)
Say, I've always kinda regretted that I never played W&W. Is it available online for Win 7?

No. You may still be able to find copies of the game, but Win98 was probably the OS of the time and the game was never supported in the years that followed. Some players have found ways to get the game to run.

People are hoping it might come out on Gog, but that has not yet happened...
