Getting start up box but on 'play' crashing out.

Tried running as administrator and tried various System Packs. Same result.

I've been able to get virtually every other GOG game I have to run on this system but this one has me stumped.

I've never had any problems at all with GOG releases but this one.

What's your setup Kremin?

How's Carla by the way?

Heh, she's as big as usual. ;)

Setup.. Q9550, 8gb ram, win 7 64 bit, x-fi onboard sound, Rampage Extreme 1

Nothing overly strange.. I can only run the NoEAX.exe... I have a feeling (unfounded) that it may be this exe specifically that's the problem.

All sorts of issue arose when MS did away with proper sound and started to emulate everything.

There's a pretty simple reality to face about PC emulators on Mac.

Any emulator that runs your Mac OS simultaneously (ie Crossover Games/VMWare Fusion etc) take a LOT of troubleshooting and even then, may ultimately not play 4-5 games out of 10.

But Bootcamp is another story. I've so far had 100% success running all my GOG games on Bootcamp. I don't mean there isn't the occasional bug, but the stability of the system and its speed are far superior to the emulators. I would say if you're serious about having a collection of GOG games on your Mac box, go straight to Bootcamp.

And be careful. Do backups. Setting up a partition can cause horrible problems if you stuff it up.

For the record the following games worked on Bootcamp that I couldn't even get to play on Crossover or Fusion:

Soulbringer
Deus Ex
Witcher 2 (managed to get it to work on Fusion but was painfully slow despite 10 gig of RAM!) - much better in Bootcamp.
