For the most part Black and White 2 runs pretty well on modern systems - unfortunately if you have newer graphics cards the game sets the graphics options to ultra low, my fan patch should fix that. Install the game and then install the following patches in order and your game should run...

Black and White was released in 2001, it's over 20 years old! And sadly it hasn't aged well, there are a lot of issues, but they can be fixed! Here's how. Uninstall any previous attempts Before you attempt to install anything, if you have failed to install it properly before, make sure you...

Kays' Place is no more; unfortunately the website that was home to Black and White has fallen into an irreparable state, so BWFiles has been made to salvage what was left, over the past few years I've salvaged and patched what I could from Kays' Place to bring you this. All the file downloads...

You can also use my patch: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3659637/bw2/temp_fix/white.exe runs flawlessly on Windows 10 as far as I can tell, has a few graphics patches at that too. Removes the SecuRom protection that causes issues with Windows 10 as well.

Would be interesting if we could get a collection of bugs together, I've been working on fixing a few things recently and would love to get as much as possible in: here's an interesting bug I found, once your storehouse food amount surpasses 65,535 (max size of an unsigned 16-bit integer) your...

EA owns the rights to the brand, although the last remake of an old game they did (Dungeon Keeper, another game by Peter Molyneux) turned into a mobile free to play piece of trash, so - even if it did get a sequel.. I wouldn't be too optimistic. :(

You can still a No-CD over a patch, I'm not sure if you can install a patch over a No-CD however.

Not sure why they changed their domain, but it's bugs2 -> bugs. Edited my post to fit that.

This bug is due to Wine not having a software DXTC to ARGB converter implemented, nor do your proprietary drivers. (I think mesa drivers work?) DXTC is the texture format used by the game. You need to compile Wine with the following patches applied: mkdir ~/src cd ~/src git clone...

Hey, I've patched up the game to support newer graphics cards and CPUs and to also skip those annoying splash screens at the start: download here. Just replace your white.exe with this one, I'll release a full blown patch in the future, but for now this should let you play the game the way it...

Hey, writing our own tools for BW2 BOTG is possible, it's a hell of a lot of work though. I've spent the last year and a bit on and off working on mod tools for Black and White 2 and subsequently BOTG, right now I fully understand the CHL file format as being something that contains Lionhead's...

Well my decompiler is near enough done; I should have a few weeks free from work soon I'll try and finish it up then to identify those scripts.

I've been caught up with other projects with work and stuff recently, but I managed to dump a complete list of functions available in Black and White 2 (and 1 and BoTG) which will probably include a lot of stuff Lionhead forgot to document; I'm not sure if any of them will help you but it's an...

Ahah, 64 bit seems to be a reoccurring issue where you MUST run as administrator.

Even though you've solved this now, a quick question to get an understanding of why this happens.. Were you using a 64 bit operating system?

http://wiki.bwfiles.com Just a place I've been documenting my reverse engineering efforts, I hope to also fill it with the archived wiki entries from 2005 on modding. Feel free to contribute!

^ that's weird, I have two accounts it seems. :L (that is me above though)

NoCD cracks aren't illegal at all, if they were that would be a crazy lack of freedoms, its like saying its illegal to jailbreak a phone you own (which it isn't), its your property, you can do what you want. As for anything I want to share I just use USB thumb drives or email, I trained my...

NoCDs aren't piracy, they're really convenient for users. Heck I've not had a DVD drive in my PC for years; torrent the ISO, use my CD key and then nocd patch it works great as far as can be said for this game.

I don't think pirating it is going to fix the issue? Make sure you've applied patches 1.1 and 1.2, on the latest graphics drivers and running under XP compatibility mode.
