Please help BOTF will not run with XP

Post by chrisfromkent »

Hi,

I used to play BOTF years ago and recently bought the game again to play but I have installed it but cannot get it to run on my computer with XP. It will not even load! Tried changing the compatability and the screen res but still no joy.

Any idea's??

Thank you in advance :)

Hmmm... have you tried the multi installers? I had no problems with them.

Maybe because you bought the game, it will not work, but something with the multi installers seem to work.

So try downloading the multi installer and see if that works.

@chrisfromkent - No. you'll need the multi-installer which has all the patches you need. It's on the main page at the bottom.

All you have to do is go to downloads, in the top left where it says Modules.

Here is the link.
