WoT on Windows 10?

Post by Tyr »

Hello guys,

i got a "new" copy of Wheel of Time on christmas. After installation i'm unable to start the game. After a short loading icon, nothing happens. Has anyone encountered this issue on newer windows versions? I tried several compatibility settings but nothing seems to work.

Thanks

Tyr

Its a unreal engine game i,m sure there are some settings who you can run the game properly.
Maby some opengl driver will fix this version 3.7.
I just dont know if the opengl driver is compatible with wot.
otherwise try to run the game in compatebility from within windows 2000 or win 98 maby xp.
Unreal and ut 99 runs also on windows 10.
Make sure you have the updated drivers from your videocard.
Does the wheel of time game gives an error when it shutsdown?
If yes please post it here.
Are there any patches that can run the game properly?

Wheel of Time does not start on Windows 10 because the game employs SafeDisc DRM, and in a dick move Microsoft completely removed support for SafeDisc and SecuROM DRM because of alleged security issues, rendering many classic games unplayable. You can either try your luck with an (often dubious) No-CD crack or hope for a DRM-free game to be issued by GOG. Vote it up on the wishlist here: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_wheel_of_time

Maybe install and older Nero CD rom burning software to get secure disk ?

I should try to install it with win7 pro 64 bit. I have that and Undying have not played for years now.

I got the editor to work, have both patches, and you need to run unrealedfix4, it opens the map, but even then play map it crashes.
The editor is like old unreal, but has a lot of things (actors) unreal don't


Ok I got the "Apollo" wot exe USfix. it was from like gamecopyworld but it's not anything illegal or virus.

It first gives a glide driver warning, just click and the game starts, looks nice too.
Then I switched to directx and all the graphics selections work right away.
I ran the setup on disk two for the music and movies, but I dread thinking to use quicktime for the movies, I uninstalled that, but I might try it and see.

I need to install Undying again as well.

Win7 64bit pro, but not sure about win10. I do have win10 installed on my other drive, but it sucks,looks ugly, hate it.

I will try the UT opengl and see what happens, but the directX is looking better than Unreal for some reason.

The version I see now is 333-310, bottom left corner of game. and it seems a harder game that I thought. You can place walls and traps and things.

It is a hard game, glad we have a quicksave. Enemies move fast, more than Unreal Then the air burst weapon needs to be close to hit, friggen killin me left and right.

well i think that there is some (illigal) software on the market over the internet who can avoid the secure rom safety.
But ofcorse strongely not todo so when you have the Original disk i,m very sure you can install wot on a proper way.
Maby you need a updated patch to work wot properly ,there must be a way to run the game within his parameters.
Normaly a patch will do the trick, it depens on wich version of wot you have.
get you patch here i realy do not know what the latest patch version is what version number i mean this is the 333 patch for wot.
Maby the opengl version will just runs fine on it sinds the version core is from the same epic games kernel the ut engine.
I did read somwhere that ther are also some moddified textures for this game i,m very sure you can find them.
@redfist well i did try it also and i,m running windows 10 with wot and everything works perfectly.
Sadly there are some servers wich are active but there where no players on that servers.

Not illegal unless you don't have the original disks.

Someone could export it's assets and map content via Wot-ED and import it into UT, the only thing that won't work then would be the native video support for the cutscenes
