Fatal Error after installation BW

Hello everyone!

I have installed again DS2BW on my computer again while already having DS2, both are in different folders. After the installation this error appeared (attached picture).

Please help me I really want to play this game again!

assuming u have the cd version, may have to uninstall..would suggest running a registry cleaner program called ccleaner https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download free version download and clean the registry plus have it delete temp files, be careful with the other checks though sometimes they wipe out history,cookies etc and stuff so make sure to check those off so can keep. then
turn virus detection software off, reinstall...I installed mine to C:/ instead of program files (x86) cause it seems with newer windows that folder causes problems. anyways install ds2 first...but make sure u patch it to 2.2 with the ds2 patch then install broken world again c:/ after installed turn virus detection back on...

if u have steam version then will have to use their install folders instead..

for now not knowing if u have cds or not, and what os not much more I can help with.
these are the ccleaner settings I use for cleaner

for registry cleaning

First let me say welcome to our site. Follow DarkElf's instructions. But to help us all out please give answers to the following questions so we can do more research and give better advice.

1. What version of Windows are you using?
2. Are you installing from a CD/DVD or some other method like Steam?
3. Have you patched DS2 to version 2.2 before installing Broken World which is version 2.3.
4. What Anti-Virus program are you using?
5. Do you have any mods installed in the DS2 Resources folder. If you do list them

We will try our very best to get Broken World up and running again.

Well I have Windows 7 64x; yes I have installed it from dvd, I have that dvd since 2007; no I did not, I have 2.0 and I am trying to patch it up to 2.3. I have found your link to it on this site but I don't know where to put the files...; I have Avast; No, I don't have any.

I have CCleaner and yes I have the game from dvd. The primary problem is that I have 2.0 version. I have found Bare Elf's doc including 2.2 version, I have downloaded it but don't know where to put it. Any help with it?

2.0 has to be installed prior to the 2.2 patch which is just an executable it asks for the ds2 cd however so keep it around. the patch be ran from wherever u put it(although windows likes to save files to desktop for some reason, or it may have went to a designated download folder) the patch just looks for the ds2 installation and patches it to 2.2. after it installs may want to run ds2 to see if it works, if lucky then can try installing broken world, and hopefully it will be ok.

Hi Garol Not sure what would cause the application to close unless your version of DS2 is already version 2.2 or the update file was corrupted or you did not install it as system administrator. I have had success installing Dungeon Siege 2 on Windows 98SE, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. My Game CDs are version 2.1. In every case I have used the following update/patch http://siegetheday.org/~bare_elf/patches/DS2_Patch_2.2.exe for all the versions I made sure my antivirus program was disabled. For Windows 7 professional I made sure I had first installed all the windows updates. Then I installed the game as administrator and selected run in XP mode. After the install was done and prior to installing the patch I started the game and verified everything was working. Then making sure the DS2 CD #1 was in my cd drive I installed the above patch. The patch worked.
Once again I verified the game was working correctly prior to installing Broken World. For Windows 8 I had a hard time until I installed the game from Administrator Mode. Windows 10 was no problem at all. Hope this helps. You can verify your game revision using the ABOUT on the game selection menu. Make sure to use the above patch as I know it works.

Well I have downloaded a pirate version of DS 2 and BW together on 2.3 and your patch started to work but then this happened. I have disabled the antivirus program and ran it as administrator and the same happened. I used CCleaner also. Now I am totally disappointed....

I will probably get chewed out for helping, but its possible the pirate version is already v2.2 so patch may not been needed with it, may install that pirate again and see what version of ds2 it is then install bw, other than that, that's all the help I can give.

Insane Please do not chew on Dark Elf as he is not food. Maybe he thinks he is but still he lives in a no chew zone. Insane

I thought elves were supposed to taste like chicken. I mean, doesn't everything? Tongue

Everything tastes like chicken - except chicken. Chicken tastes like everything else. (Sorry!)

I have it on good authority that chicken tastes like nothing...NOTHING! Shock

Why yes there is are. the best patches for no CD are located here. https://www.gamecopyworld.eu/games/pc_dungeon_siege_2.shtml make sure your retail DS2 is patched to version 2.2 before installing. The necessary patches can be found in the Game Resources section of SiegetheDay look to the left side on the main page.
