TOPIC: Warlords 2 and Win7
Re: Warlords 2 and Win7 11 years, 11 months ago #785
The double cursor is in fact a problem. On my laptop I am running the microsoft virtual machine and there it is not possible to fix the mouse.
I read through the help pages, tried things but it just doesn't work. I tried your recommended VM... nothing runs proberly.... Never give up! I'll fix those damn machines! *lol* |

Do not bother using Microsoft's Virtual PC, it is useless.
Use Virtual Box and turn off the mouse integration as per my previous post. VirtualBox has a great manual: www.virtualbox.org/manual/ Look here for how mouse integration works: www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#idp7689696 |

Hi all,
Having only recently got around to upgrading from WinXP to Win7, I was devastated to find that Warlords 2 would no longer run. I've been playing it regularly ever since it was released (and Warlords 1 on the Commodore Amiga before that), and was toying with going back to XP when it would no longer run. In desperation, I turned to the internet to see if anyone else still played the greatest game ever created, and I found this place. I can't believe I'm not the only one! Anyway, I've tried DOSBox and Virtual PC - both run it, but were far too slow compared to how it ran natively under XP. As a software developer, I toyed with creating some kind of patch, but eventually came up with a workaround which keeps the speed I was used to under XP, and figured I ought to share it with you chaps. Basically, at least on my setup, disabling the display adapter allows Warlords 2 to run fairly happily. I've uploaded detailed instruction on how to do this through a variety of screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/G2VK9#0 Enjoy. |
