With the release of Windows 10 Microsoft removed support for SafeDisc and has also released a disable patch for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Now, Black and White 2 uses an Anti-Piracy measure called SafeDisc v4 DRM. Game update v1.2 (exe) | Alternate download link (zip).Game update v1.1 (exe) | Alternate download link (zip).So, download these patches and install them in the correct order: You will notice that the game won’t run at all, not even in administrator mode. Bear in mind that the game itself was always a little bit buggy even on the operating systems it was designed for, so it will never be perfect, but this is just as good as the original in my opinion.įirst, you will install Black & White the regular way using your CD / DVD and legitimate key. I cannot guarantee this will work if you are playing the game from a cracked version, and many people have run into problems that way, but if you use the legit installation CDs or get them off eBay, this should work perfectly. Why won’t Black & White 2 run on Windows 10 you ask? Well, there are many reasons but there is a workaround and it’s very effective.
