Issues and Fixes

Can't Save Games in Recent Windows Operating Systems

There are several issues which can cause this. The most common appears to be due to folder permissions in the Program Files directory, where the Black and White save games are stored.

Low Framerates in Recent Operating Systems

Many people experience low, game-breaking frame rates in recent operating systems despite setting the video settings to "Maximum Detail". This can typically be avoided by using the "Custom" settings, and setting all settings to maximum.

Graphical Tweaks

Wide Screen Support

Using a registry editor, do the following:

  • Open 
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lionhead Studios Ltd\Black & White\BWSetup
  • Look for two DWORD values in this key called ScreenH and ScreenW which correlate to screen height and screen width respectively.
  • Make sure you select the decimal radio button for the base
  • Enter your desired screen width and height in each
