Lords of the Realm 2 Forum

Well, not technically 'on' startup - I can hear the intro movie, but with just a black screen. When it ends, or when I hit escape to skip it, the screen goes white and I immediately get a "Lords2.exe has encountered a serious problem..." message and it dumps me back to the desktop.

Seems to happen every time, and was happening for me on earlier CXG versions as well, so it's not a sudden change. The bottle is just a bog-standard WinXP bottle created with the GOG.com installer. Not sure why I'm unable to run this game when most everyone else seems to have no problems - normally I can find some starting point to debug, as other people have seen the same thing, but in this case I've really no clue where to begin, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Full crash log here:

Edit: Doh, forgot to mention. Using Crossover Games Mac, running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on an iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, graphics are an ATI Radeon HD2600.

this game will only run right if you run it in a virtual desktop.

Thanks for the advice. I'd tried running it in a virtual desktop, but sadly, to the same result.

Doubting myself, I tried running it again with the virtual desktop on, this time making sure the resolution was the same as the game's resolution (640x480). Sure enough, it worked with no issues, so apparently my problem was that the game doesn't like running in anything other than its native res.

Thanks again!
