Original BOB II WOV CD

Post by LANcaster »

Hi Guys,
Forgive me if this has already came up but i'm after an original DVD game installation as an .iso. (unpatched). My new machine does not have a DVD player. Patch 2.13 requires original installation and Window 10 compatibility patch also.

Am I right in my understanding below is the correct procedure for a fresh install under Win 10 (Its been 5+ years since i played).

1. Fresh BoB II WoV install from DVD (or .iso if someone knows of one?)
2. Install Windows 10 compatibility patch.
3. Install 2.13 patch.

Does that sound right?

Thanks a lot guys....

Hi there!

BoB can run in W10 but there are issues regarding the campaign mode and I believe that some players have had various issues when using single missions but I understand that these issues can vary for different users. Felizpe saved our collective bacon by preparing a patch which can be found along with lots of good advice here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=68917

This patch enabled BoB to run its campaign in versions 2.01, 2.02 & 2.03. He later added a further patch to add to the original that enables BoB to run campaign mode in v2.06. I believe that the last DVD version and the download version of BoB are v2.06. Further information (including the additional patch to enable 2.06) is here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=70972

At present BoB cannot run its campaign mode in versions more advanced than 2.06.

Hoope this helps!

That is, on Win 10. A dedicated drive or dual boot to Win7 will allow v2.13 to run, with fully polished campaign.
