Trouble patching B&W on WIndows 10 - BushyPuppet - 08-11-2018
Hi everyone. I'm delighted to have found this community. I adore B&W and have wanted to play it for years. I recently found a way to get it running, but alas, I can't seem to install any of the patches. I can run v 1.0 with a no-CD crack no problem . But I used to play it with the CD and the patches worked just fine. I can't figure out how to do it and it's driving me nuts! Please Help!
The first picture I have attached shows what happens when I try to patch with the cracked runblack.exe in the Black & White forlder.
The second image shows what happens when I try to use the cracked exe AFTER patching the original one.
After this point I'm stumped and I don't know what to do!
I mean, I COULD play the game unpatched, but that wouldn't be the version of the game I grew to love and worship (no pun intended)
I'd really appreciate all the help you guys can offer, and thanks so much for being as enthusiastic about this game as you are.
It really gives me hope and makes me look forward to the day this game gets the re-release it truly deserves.
Thanks in advance for your help.
- Conor

Hi!
Glad that someone is still playing the game.
Your problem is not a big one and is really easy to fix. Each version of the game requires a different crack, and from your story and screenshots I can tell that you probably tried to use a crack for version 1.00 on version 1.10. Need to do everything in the right order! First, you need to patch the game up to the highest version (1.30), then use a no-cd crack for it.
You can get cracks for different versions here: http://www.freeinfosociety.com/site.php?postnum=890
Also, you may be interested in special "BaW Patch", which fixes important problems with graphics and compatibility: http://bawsite.com/ourfiles.html#bawpatch
Without it, the game looks a lot worse on new systems than it should. Open the link and download version 2.0 (you can choose which version to download on the right).

No need to thank me
Let me know if you need any other help.
Would be great if you would check the articles and news on our site, there is a video that may interest you, and a lot of useful info about the game. Also you could test and write your opinion about other downloadable stuff for B&W there.
