[solved] War2Combat doesn't load on Windows 10

[Danholtz]

Hi all,

I installed war2combat on my windows 10, but I can't load the game... It crashes on startup (when loading from War2noCDloader.exe or War2PLoader.exe). There is a screenshot attached.

When I try to play from Warcraft II BNE.exe it asks for a cd...

Please help, I want to play this gem

I downloaded and installed the original game (Battle.net Edition .ISO) on a different folder and it gives the same crash.

Try to disable DEP for the whole OS or to add Warcraft II.BNE.exe to it's exclusions.
Let me know if it will help or not.
Should be done automatically on installation, but maybe not working properly on win 10...

It is already disabled for Warcraft II BNE.exe, but I don't know how to do that for the whole system

I mean something like "enable this for system services only". Should be on the same tab. Not sure how that looks like in win10

For me, it works fine in w10, combat version or official bnet edition.
Using in admin of course.
and no colors bugs anyway.

Which directory did you installed it? I'm not sure but I think it make difference

[loverbeer]

war2combat: default intallation (setup made the path)
war2 bnet edition: in another, which i create myself.
Please note that the antihack dont work on bne official
