Hello.
I recently installed B&W1 under WinXP.
Installation OK.
Patch (1.1) OK.
No official or custom add-ons are installed.
Game starts, runs, and plays smoothly.
No audio or video problem what-so-ever.
Yet after sometime into play (from 20 minutes to over 2 hours), the game freezes.
The infamous dw15 window is in the background saying that an error occurred within runblack.exe, with the game music still going as if nothing happened.
Trying to narrow down the possible causes I have:
- terminated all unnecessary programs in background.
- stopped all noncritical services as well.
- disabled XP visual themes permanently.
- run a dxdiag (just in case) to see everything is in order.
- I also tried the compatibility modes.
None makes a difference, except win98/Me mode which crashes runblack.exe directly upon launch.
- Finally I tried to lower the video resolution, color depth and quality settings.
I got plenty of memory available, both virtual and RAM.
There's no firewall on this games-only system that may interfere.
Account used has full administrator privileges.
What else can I try?
Thanks in advance.
Ciao ciao : )
