Game won't run. Keeps crashing. Hopefully we won't get any posts here, but if we do, we'll try to help you out. You can also post any bugs that you find here. IMPORTANT: Don't post mod related problems here!

New Computer install issue.....again

Post by Jack ONeill »

Hey All,

Once again, I've installed the latest version of SOWGB on a new computer. As always, the opening table of contents has bars instead of words.

Can't remember how to fix it. Anyone remember how?

Thanks in advance.

Alright Jack, you're able to post here again.  Image

Regarding your issue, this is a common problem with folks while installing a new SOW game. Also an easy fix: Once installed -- right click on the SOWGB.exe or SOWWL.exe file and go to 'Properties', proceed to 'Compatibility' and select 'Windows 7', save and close.

This should fix you up...Welcome Back  Image

Thanks Reb.

Actually figured it out right after I posted the first one.

BTW, hating one this new posting software, but understand the issues involved.

What does your "Molon Labe" motto actually mean to you Jack?
Yes, I did look it up, but I'd be interested what it meant to you personally?
