Overlord Crack and Windows Vista

I switched my system from WinXP SP2 to WinVista Business (upgrade version) and now the cracked exe for OVERLORD keeps crashing (turn off pc !!!) after a few seconds of playing. (Also with WinXP compatibility-mode)
Original disc without crack is working fine with Vista.

Anyone else with this problem?

I tried to make a mini-image of my original disc, but it don't work. Perhaps because of i only have a external (USB) dvd-drive.

Please can someone make a working mini-image for this game?

I use Vista Home Premium x64, and it works fine. There was a fixed crack, as the previous one caused errors on exit etc.

I also use the proper crack (without error on exit), but after a few seconds of playing, my PC turns off. Only the power-led is on. Then i have to press the power-button for 4 seconds to turn it complete off. The reset-button don't work at this. After that i can restart the pc.

As it is working for you with vista, it seems that there is a problem with my system...


Someone with a mini/maxi image for me?

Take the drive out of your USB case and plug it into your PC then make an image with it

What to do if you have an external SLIM DVD Drive? (like the Plextor 608u) (there is no "normal" drive inside like in most cheap ext. USB drives)
Anyway, I have no problems with overlord with Vista Ultimate x64 except that the game crashes when I close it.

Wonder if any is already working on a crack v1.1, but ok ... board rules say "wait some weeks"...

It's the LG GSA-2166D. It can't be taken out of the case.

Use the proper crack to get no crash on exit.

You get the crash on the original?

And as far as I know the patch didnt change the executable at all, except a revision number.

I can confirm this.
The patch only patch the uninstaller and a little bug in the halflings-brewery level.
