thanks for the fix for this game alrthough I still get color issues, they all look wrong although I've set compatibility to 256 colors. Any hints as to what else I can try? (win 7 64 bit)

cheers!

End the explorer.exe process in task manager.

Did you install the fix properly using MS ACT 5.x?

🤣 no - wondered why the exe date stayed the same after i ran the batch file. thanks for the tip

cheers

I've had no luck with this at all despite the cluesticks.

Can anyone point me to a general twiki/info on applying this kind of fix?

thanks in advance.

Looks like the install batch file wasn't working properly under all circumstances.

Please download the fix again from the first post, extract the archive to any folder and then simply run wl3dr_compatibility.bat as administrator (right click the batch file, select run as administrator).

If everything went smooth, you should find a entry called "Warlord III - Darklords Rising Compatibility Fix" under Control Panel/Programs and Features afterwards.

It's totally normal that the exe stays the same, the fix changes some registry settings. And you don't need to install the ACT, the program used for installing the patch (sdbinst.exe) should exist on any Windows 7 machine.
