Hi!
A little cross-post here to get things in the right place.

Maybe there's someone on this board that could help me out with a minor but irritating problem. First, the game runs fine in 1024 with my GeForce GTS when bumblin' http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif around in the woods, but occasionally when entering buildings in the cities it crashes to desktop. And I actually have to reboot the comp. to get the game workin' again.

I'm running a Athlon T-bird 1200, ABIT KT7A PC133 MB, 256 MB RAM (cas 2 latency), SB-Live, DX8a with slowed down graphic acceleration. Also, I've patched DX8a so that the debugger is now turned off! I have, as far as I know, the latest drivers for my cards.

Anyone with similar problems that've found a solution?

Hi,

Has anyone come up with a fix for the green hue in the dungeons?

Hi all!
I've been trying to improve the performance of w&w on my pc for a very long time, but the best I managed to achieve is a mediocre performance in the 640x480 hardware resolution. My PC:

-PentiumIII 700Mhz
-256 mb RAM
-about 1,5 GB free HD space
-Hercules Prophet II GTS 32 MB

I am using a very old driver (I think it's one from mid 2000...) because it is BY FAR the best I could find. I spent many hours installing every single driver I managed to find, but it always ended up with a horrible slow performance in every resolution. (This bad performance does also apply to the stronghold demo, with the old driver it runs pretty well, with the newer ones it's a pain...)I even tried the new unofficial patch which did't help either...
I'd appreciate any kind of help because I'm pretty desperate and just don't know what else I could do.

Thanks in advance!

Ok - I am having trouble with the buildings in the first town... Can only access the left gate, tavern, inn, armory and temple... The others just don't highlight... Why?

System Config
-------------
Athlon 1.4ghz - 256mb DDR Ram (PC2100)
Voodoo5 AGP Video - SB Live X-Gamer Sound
30gig HD (uncompressed) - Pioneer 16x40 DVD Player
Sigma Hollywood+ DVD Decoder - 3com 10/100 Ethernet
16x10x40 CD-RW

OS - Windows XP Professional
DirectX - Whatever comes with XP (8.0a I think - ugh)

Any clues as to why I can't access these buildings?

It's your O/S. XP and 2000 both have problems with the town AVI files. Here's the fix:

Go to the following site: http://www186.pair.com/vdub/

Once you're there, download Virtualdub, install it, and then load the file "townmsk1.avi" from the "Townavi" directory in your Wizards & Warriors folder into Virtualdub. Save it with the "Save as old-format AVI" option with a new file name. You will get back a 32MB file. Close out Virtualdub and then rename the new file townmsk1.avi (over the old file). Do the same procedure to the other two town mask files.
