| If the game don't work with the 64 bit Win 7, and it's a well known problem. Then why don't they just not make a patch or something like that??
Even on my old XP computer I couldn't play the game, due to the engine.exe file made some problems.. And I bought the Gold edition with both Napoleonic wars and the Battle for Europe.. And I think it a shame to have wasted money on a game which I can't play at all..

| Well, there are people who havent gotten it to work on a 64--bit edition.
As to why they dont make a patch, well the games were made for XP and are getting a bit old now.
When you say:Quote (Aziba) Even on my old XP computer I couldn't play the game, due to the engine.exe file made some problems
that could really be anything. If you arent specific as to which error, then there isnt much that can be said about it.

| It says the following.
Runtime Error!
Program:..(x86)\Cossacks 2 - Battle for europe\Run\Data\engine.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information..
That's the one that keeps comeing up even on my XP computer.. (It's a 1.8 GHZ with 1 GB RAM and 128 mb ram grapichs.. A little old computer, but should still be able to run the game..

| (x86), that's a 32 bit version, that should normally run with your computer specifications, bit low, but it should run.
Could you post a DirectX Diagnostics report off your XP computer ,maybe it may shed more light on why its not working for you.
(Run-Dxdiag.exe- perform the tests, then save the results in a .txt file and add as attachment here in the forum so I can have a look).
Regards.

I dont know anything about 64bit editions to even speculate on potential problems.

| Hi all,
The problem is the Starforce Protection on Cossacks II Napoleonic Wars.
This Starforce version does not work with Windows 7 64bit.
You will need a version of Cossacs II without the Starforce protection. This version was sold with some Computer Magazines.
E.g. In Germany: PC Action 7/2007 - you might get this on ebay.
You will also need a patch when you use a high resolution graphic card.
The patch is called: c2-hoae-3d-patch.zip
Take a look at this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNTirKO3ojI
Cossacs II is working fine on my Win7 64bit.

Hi all,
I just purchased Cossacks II Battle for Europe from Steam for 4,99 EUR.
It works perfect with Win 7 64 bit.
