Cartooniack1994: Problem #1: Massive Color Issue On my computer, I installed the game, and I am faced with a massive color issue. I tried many DirectDraw fixes for it, but it didn't help much. See the attached photo to see what I'm talking about. (Sorry for the image being blurry or in bad quality; I had to take the picture on my phone).
Take a look at this fix:
GB Color Fix Also, have a look here (since it's based on the same engine as Age of Empires 2):
Age of Conquerors fix As for the crashing, try to set the affinity to one core:
1. Firstly, load the game, the press Ctrl+Alt+Del
2. Under the 'Processes' tab you'll find the SW:GB process
3. Right click it and choose 'Set Affinity'
4. Make sure only CPU 0 is selected!
Close the window and return back to the game.
If the above doesn't work, try disabling all hardware acceleration on your video card ->
