Hi!

I have just bought "Warlords 2 Deluxe" and now I am reading that there are massive problems with getting it run under WinXP. Perhaps the best Idea would be to reinstall Win95/98. Has anyone experiences which Win-Version works best with Warlords?

THX,

yes it is im running warlods deluxe on a and 2400 with windows XP.
this game had problems from the start as it would not run on anything faster than a P166. the publisher SSG never patched it (i think the programmer had defected) a patch was released by an avid fan but only works up to windows me.

the solution DOSBOX

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

this fantastic freeware prog emulates a 386 dos processor and when push comes to shove Warlords deluxe is a dos program

read the help file for dosbox but here is what i did

fist make a directory warlords2 for example on c: drive

in dosbox type
mount c c:\warlords2.... this will mount c:\warlords2 as your c drive in dosbox

then type
mount d x:\ .......... were x is the letter assigned to your cd drive

now type x: ........were x is the letter assigned to your cd drive

those familar with dos will now be away but if not
typing dir (press return) will bing up the directory contents of the CD

to install the game type install (press return)the game will now install into c:\warlords2 directory

type cd:\ to return to d: prompt

type c: to switch to dosbox c: drive (which is in fact the warlords2 directory on your hard drive}

now type war2 press return and your in

set sound to soundblaster16 as this works fine with most on mainboard soundcards.

hope this helps
