Re: Warlords 4 on windows 10 6 years, 9 months ago #3443
Trylaan,
OK that means the game never actually started or else it started and exited almost immediately. The only reasons I can think of for that would be: 1) No sound card/sound device 2) Invalid screen resolution 3) A permission problem in Win 10 4) Win 10 can't run War IV for some reason (32 bit in 64 bit O/S). Pretty sure it's not #2 since you manually set that and the game would try and create it anyway. I have a Win 10 laptop at work. I'll try and put War IV on a USB drive and take it in on the weekend and try to run it from the USB drive. That will at least let me see if it runs on the laptop without needing anything. KGB |

I cannot say, if my install means anything. I just installed on win10, no issues.
Well the autoinstaller did not work, so I ran setup from the CD. Then coped the D2D2 fix. It then ran it fine. I have fixed the register to use 1600, not tried that yet as I am gong to dinner. Anyway glad the site was saved and is still around. Good luck with your install. Edit: I forgot to mention I copied the 105 fix, skipping the others. |

Just got an email from a Warlord named Svetoslav Enchev who wrote the following about installing on Win 10:
I see there are more recent patches on your site, but I haven't tested it, so I'm just posting what worked for me and a friend. The tricky parts were to figure that you need the DirectX End-User runtime from Microsoft, and how to deal with the setup hanging on "Installing Fonts". 1. Download and install DirectX End-User Runtime (with legacy components for DirectX 9) from Microsoft: www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 2. Download and extract the game and the patches from myabandonware.com: www.myabandonware.com/.../warlords-iv-heroes-of..., 3. Create a folder C:\Games\Warlords and from the Security tab in Options give Full Access to your user account. 4. Mount the ISO, select Compatibility mode Windows P Service Pack 2 and run as Administrator for autorun.exe and setup.exe 5. Start Autorun.exe, select Install game and install into C:\Games\Warlords. 6. Should the setup hang on Installing Fonts: from Task Manager (with "more details" selected), from the Processes tab select the Setup (Install Shield), select "Go to details" from the right-click menu. It will transfer you to the Details tab with setup.exe pre-selected. Select Analyze Wait Chain from the right-click menu, and see which process it's waiting for (It would should you the name and the PID). Find the process, and kill it with "End task". Repeat the step until the setup finishes. 7. Install the 1.05 offical patch, again with Compatibility Win XP SP2, Administrator. 8. Copy the files from the unofficial 1.05а patch into C:\Games\Warlords 9. In C:\Games\Warlords\Warlords4.exe select Compatibility Win XP SP2, Administrator. 10. Run the game and enjoy! Note that he didn't say which version of Windows he is using. I suspect it may not be the US version and it may not be the home edition etc. KGB |

On Windows you can easily play online version at warbarons.com
There is a nice community for multiplier games and a stable server which is much easier than PBEM system (play by email). The game is more similar to warlords 2 and 3. |

I managed install Warlords 4 to my new Windows 11 laptop. There was similar problems than I got earlier in Win10 but same kind of things solved problem.
I still play sometimes this and version 1.05B is great. Thanks! |
