Well I just got the game and installed it just fine. Sound and graphics are just fine. Made a few characters leave town and now whenever I try to move "CRASH". Usually kicks me back to desktop sometimes locks up.
I'm running a PIII 1ghz,nvidia 64mb, SB Live,30 gb hd, 128mb ram. I have up dated all my drivers,and shut down all other programs and tried all the hardware/software graphics settings in the game. This is driving me nuts. I hope someone can help I don't know what else to do except bring the game back for a refund.(and I don't want to do that) I also tried the patch from Heuristics.

Click on "Wizards & Warriors Trouble Shooting"
Click on "Game crashes when exiting town"

Maybe this can solve your problem.

I still can't get this game to work! I can exit the town but after a few steps crash.
I hope there is somebody out there that knows what the problem is. I would hate to miss this game looks great.

You said you tried all the hardware/software options - are you now running the game in software mode? That seems to be the most stable mode and has the least amount of problems.

Well Im not really running the game at all can do anything but crash. The software setting seems to be the worst for me, crashing when I select a char. The hardware choices lets me make a party and leave town, crashing at the encounter with the Traveller. Thats as far as I can get. Anyone know if Heuristic Park has people you can talk to to fix this kind of thing?? The Activision site is just a waste of time.
Thanks for any help guys.

Did you try installing the patch? I had a problem fairly late in the game. Whenever I killed the hydra, my game crashed. I installed the patch, and the problem was gone. No more crashes.

Ya I installed the patch, no luck

There are a few hardware things you might try:
- nVidia has posted new versions for their Detonator 3 drivers only a few weeks ago: get version 6.50 at http://www.nvidia.com . Officially the Detonator drivers are not supported; perhaps if you can find older drivers you might try those.
- I have troubles with Soundblaster LiveWare 3.0 and higher. Only version 2.1 works well for me. Don't know where you can still get those though. You might try to search the net.
