    I have Vista. Whenever I try to load a game in multilayer, it crashes. I have patch 2.01 and have set all of the different compatibility types.

    wild guess: is it because 1024x768 isn't supported? perhaps you altered other default graphic settings, or game options in configuration? did it crash when you tried to join a game, or host one?

    Thanks for the reply. It's amazing that people still support this. Anyways, it seems to only happen with multiplayer. I can start a game in single player. The only thing is that my son and I already have a game together.

    Here's how to fix it!

    I have the solution to this, as I had the exact same problem!

    When you are hosting a game in IWD II, switch to windowed mode (by pressing alt-enter together) when it would normally crash. Once the game is hosted, switch back to full screen, and it will work fine.

    I hope this fixes your problem.
