[Skyelander]

Thanks. Spellforce 2 also?

Spellforce 2 also works on windown 7 64 bit.

Works now and then, crashes with access violations and runtime errors. Sad, looked interesting.

yeah man I have never had crash issues with spellforce 2, atleast not since I played it last a long time ago, before the recent dlc. I found that spell force 1 has to be run at specific resolutions or it just ♥♥♥♥♥ up

I have played all of them fine on W7, W8 and W8.1 (all 64 bit but will work fine on 32 bit too).

runs fine,
somtimes it says "can't set desired resolution, install new drivers", or won't start at all; deleting your conf (conf.ual?) helps. Just set your resolution ingame again- takes only a few seconds.
Remember it`s an old game and doesn`t support 16:9/16:10 it uses 5:4. so you have blackbars.

1600:1200x32bit res for Spellfore1&2

Don`t run Spellforce2 as admin under win8.1 - i got some sort of a window then. Now it works fine.

XP, win7 home, win7 prof, win8, win8.1

btw check out the fanpages (wiki) give you background information on all the spellforce sequels;
e.g.
http://wiki.spellforce.de/index.htm
it's a german fanpage

Spellforce 2 works fine on XP, Vista and Win7

Spellforce 1 has serious trouble with 64-bit operating systems. It may work on 64-bit Windows 7 but it's more likely not to; either crashing or not running up at all and running it in compatability mode can actually make it worse.

This is all based on CD copies but I doubt that the Steam copies are drastically different.

I've W7 64bit and both games work fine for me.

Steam version works just fine on 64-bit W7 & W8.

Delete your config folder & repair game cache and see if it workes then.

I run Spellforce Platinum on Steam fine (Windows 8.1 64 bit)
IO have also encountered no issues with Spellforce Universe CD version on the same OS.
