Title: Windows 10 "Fun"
Post by: Revanchist on May 02, 2016, 10:25:44 PM

Well I just decided to try to install my Gold Pack Disk onto my nice new laptop. Installation went great, then I tried to run it and ... Crash. Set the Compatibility Mode down to what was suggested (Vista) and . . . Crash. Tried several other compatibility settings, all still crash. Currently trying a fresh reinstall to see if I can fix the problem.

EDIT: Reinstalled and still crashing. I am currently getting the following message when I try to run the game
Exception!

An exception has occurred. See _logfile.txt and _except.txt for details

According to the read me on the Disney website Gold Pack users don't need the ram fix but I'm going to try that and see if that's really true.

Another great example to why you should never listen to Disney. I have gold pack disc too and I need ram fix too.
So for corey's guess: hit and sunk

Yup. ram fix did the trick. Got it running. Now to load ICW  :D

EDIT: And it runs beautifully. Way smoother than my parallel partition on my Mac. Time to lay waste to some Rebel Scum
