I've split this conversation from the Symbol Problem thread.

One way to see if the game is patched is to start a new game with an existing profile. If it is patched then you should get a menu with a number of options. If unpatched, it will start a new game from the begining.

If you do try this it might be an idea to make a backup using BWBackup then you can restore to where you were before in case you don't have an option to abort.
 
It sounds like the patch didn't take. I don't know all of the releases available. But I thought that the B&W/CI set came with the patch but it had to be installed seperately.

Something I forgot about. It does show the game version in the registry.
Start >> Run type in regedit. Then Ctrl+F when that window opens and type in lhmultiplayer. When it finds it look in the Black & White folder a few levels up for GameVersion. The version number is the number in the brackets.
 
Ok, long shot. Definitely back up your game first.

Try changing the 120 to 100, download the V1.20 patch from here and try reinstalling it.

To change the value, right click on GameVersion, select Modify and then check Decimal to change the value from hex.

What's your Operating system?
 
ACPI x86-based PC or aka a Vista

and ill try to do that brb

   :sorry triple post can i have a moderater fix this for me thx  :sorry
 
This game saying it is v1.0 but it is actually 1.2 is a pain for some I have a 1680x1050 screen.
There is a single registry edit you can do for both the  1.2 and CI games to get this resolution.  I know the edit worked  as CI went full screen but  B&W1 is 1440x1050. Seemingly  due to the fact somewhere  it reports it is v1.00.
 
Actually I got this fixed by downloading the patch using the Opera web browser,because if the download stops you dont lose the download you can just restart it where it left off, but sadly my BnW disk exploded so i cant play any more :P

I have no idea I put it in the cd drive then i heard a boom, had to open the computer up to take out the peices from the drive  :(

Edit; Im also looking for it to buy it again but it cost 30 bucks  :shocked
 
i think i know how it did that,can your disk spinner expand?

and back to the subject still havnt figured out the 1.00,symbol,stuck autosave problems with no luck yet
 
You're lucky that didn't broke you drive Penguin, happend to me once.
It's because of the Cd's, sometimes, even if it's just a little bit cracked, it can explode, or, if the drive spins too fast, the same.
 
Darn thingis exploding.
Back to topic thingi, in my game even if it was patch it still said 1.00 in the bottom of the screen, but the patch still was in affect  :yes :yes
