Anyone else having this problem?



I'm playing (issue free) and then, b00M, it crashes to the desktop..

Really frustrating.

Hi Cybersquirt,

Did you install as Administrator? also what version of Vista are you running 32 or 64-Bit?

I have the game and it works fine under Vista 64-Bit

Ok, well you've pretty much done all I could find out last night about this from others with the same problem, only other thing I can ask is have you patched to the latest version? or rather what version of the game do you have is it 1.30, if it is then go ahead with the patch below, if not, then hang on before you do

Patch

Don't give up hope though, I don't have Vista Ultimate, I have Home Premium, not sure that that would have anything to do with it though, I would'nt have thought it would so it has to be something else.

Just found this thread from here funnily enough, see if anything there helps, I hope it does and then let us know how you get on

HOW-TO: Dungeon Keeper 2 in Vista


Hopefully we'll get you sorted

Hi again,

Your Welcome

I think your safe to assume 1.7 is the very latest, I have never even heard about a a patch 2.0, so I would'nt worry about that

Do you have anything running in the background at all that might be interfering with it?

A couple of little tips for you to try,

I used and still do get the odd crashes in games, and found that by

1 Switching off Windows Defender (never did any harm for me)

2. Windows aero off has also helped with crashes

Might be worth trying maybe

Aero is explained here

I'm assuming though that your version of Vista has it, but not having your version myself I would'nt know for sure

Is it still crashing for you?

I hope someone else might know what to try as my ideas are running out, wish I could get it working for you, as I know what a great game it is

Chin up, I'm sure it will get working for you soon
