Hi folks,
Has anyone tried running this game in XP? I get a "... has encountered a problem and needs to close" error on starting up, pretty much instantly. It's absolutely consistent - same every time I try.
Might this be something to do with SP2? Or some other incompatibility? System details are
* Motherboard - Asus A7N8X2.0 Deluxe
* Processor type and speed - AMD AthlonXP 3200+ 2.2GHz
* Amount and type of RAM - 2 x 512MB DDR400
* Video board w/ RAM amount and type - RadeOn 9600 Pro 256MB
* Sound board - on-board nvidia sound
* Operating system - Win XP Pro SP2
* Game name (and version, if applicable) - Crusaders Of Might & Magic v 1.0
* Description of problem (be detailed: saying "it's jerky" doesn't help, saying "the player sprites seem to be jerky when I'm pressing any of the arrow keys" does) - "[game] has encountered a problem and needs to close" on starting
* Reproducibility of problem (always, only once, always but only on a specific level, etc.) - always
* Sound mode used - default
* Video mode (Software, OpenGL, Direct3D, or Glide, and resolution) - happens with both hardware rendering and software rendering
* Version of emulator (for VDMSound, probably 2.0.4 or 2.1.0; for DOSBox, 0.58+) - it's a native Windows game, not using an emulator
* Steps already attempted to solve the problem (please say you've read the README if you haven't, and READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T!) - yes I've read everything I can find. I've tried the noCD crack from gcw - same error.
Hope someone can help ...
