B&W2 doesn't have multiplayer, I don't think.

[Halfman]

B&W1... What else? B&W2 isn't nearly as much fun.

[quinnr]

And how do you expect me to know that

[Halfman]

Because of the overwhelming awesome surrounding B&W1 and the very much lack of the same thing surrounding the sequel.

Also... 10 points if anyone guesses where my avatar comes from. Be specific as well...

...SPORE!

[Mono124]

Negatory.

The begining scene of B&W when you are summoned as a god?

DING DING WE AVE A WINNAR.... well... colors are a bit different but yeah.

Heh, I was looking at that last night, recognized it instantly I love that intro!

[Mono124]

So... next game time?

[Pandarsenic]

Two major problems for me.

First, I can't change the resolution; there's no in-game option and I can't find anything suitable in regedit either despite being told that was the way to do it.

Second, it has begun to (on startup) lock itself in a black screen until I End Process it blindly.

I'm on Vista, running it in compatibility mode for Windows 2000.

Edit: It also seems to make Explorer crash.

[Akura]

Should be a Setup.exe in the folder, which has a resolution option. Can't help you with the freezing.

[Halfman]

I run into the freezing, but only when I alt + Tab the game. And not even all the time then. That's a weird problem. Unfortunately the game is so old there isn't much support for it anymore.

[Moogie]

I've read that for 32-bit Vista, you don't even need to use compatability options, but that could be wrong (still clinging desperately to XP, myself).

To solve most issues, you should install the game somewhere other than Program Files (C:\Games\Black&White will do, or whatever you want). Then you should run Setup, and choose Custom graphics options instead of picking from the dropdown list.

For a boost in speed and stability, copy the Audio folder from your B&W disc to your installation dir/. (Works best with a nocd patch)

Extra protip: After a fresh installation, do not run the game immediately; apply the 1.2 patch first and then run Setup as previously noted.
