SpellForce 2 (EU Version)

[Kardio]

Hi everybody! I’ve a problem with Spellforce 2. I’ve installed the game, and then mounted the mini image, taken from gamecopyworld, with Daemon 4.03, with all the emulation option on. Then I’ve tried to launch the game; the game run, but after appears only an hand, as mouse cursor, on a black screen, and after CTRL+ALT+CANC, I see that there an error text on which is written “An access violation occured and the program must quit”. I think I’ve the European version, althought beetwen the choice of the language there was also U.S. English. What I’ve to do? Please help me!

P.S. Sorry for my bad English!

Please, read the FAQ on how to make mini images work. (You should try without a mini image, too; perhaps, the game wouldn't run on your PC anyway!)

1: where can I find this faq on this site?
2: I think that the mini image works corretcly, in fact the game runs, after there's a crash with the seguent message "An access violation occurred and the program must quit". What's this?

See my signature for a link to the FAQ. Also, if a mini image doesn't work, create a full image from your original (the FAQ links to a few such guides).

Kardio, does it give the same error when you're running with the original dvd ?

[Kardio]

No; only with the mini image. I've tried evrything; close anydvd, disable the optical ide, try with sr7 stop and sd4hide; I've also deleted alcohool from my pc in order of solving conflict problem, if there was. I see that this kind of problem was encountered by another forum member. Any idea?

you have to install the game on a ntsf drive, otherwise it does not work

if you have problem "access violation occured " you must Update you game and install patch 1.01 and BE WORK )

One thing I don't understand is that why unpatched retail version of games like SpellForce 2, & Blazing Angels work with one type of MiniImage but after patching, they refuse to run...
I mean, even with drives DC'ed...

In the v1.01, some changes may have been made in the EXE's code aswell... thats why it is crashing on that particualr map...
