hi! I have Bob2 and was having issues with the 2.13 version so i uninstalled everything (i have windows 10 64bit btw) and reinstalled my version - my version is the "Big Bytes" pc cdrom version - the type of one you would get in the bargain bins in the past, so i am not sure what version of BOB2 this even is

in any case, i installed it as admin and havent applied any patches as again i dont kow what version this even is and perhaps this conflicts with the 2.13 version or something, - i did just have the compat setting as winxp sp3 and that is all, - and in game everything is running great! it doesnt even crash if i alt-x out of a mission and i was trying some big histore battles and no crashing so far. i am sure some crashes will come up but so far it might be stable enough to enjoy again at last!
I think i will have to just stay away from the 2.13 version or something, - i would though like to know what version this big bytes GMX Media version is

I don't know what version(s) the CD BoB2 is/are - mine is the G2 'Limited Edition' from 2005 - but it seems to have been established that versions up to 2.01 will work on Win 10: https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=67364

I thought for a moment you had found the Holy Grail!

Not sure how to find out version you have - IIRC it was on the main menu screen for BDG updates, and might be visible on the Properties tab of your BoB.exe - mine is definitely 2.13, but has properties of 2.1.2.0 for 'File version' and 2, 0, 8, 0 for 'Product version', go figure!

ahh thanks - okay mine is version 2.0.0 so it seems looking in the properties tab

sorry not the Heiliges Graal - i was just so excited that BOB2 was suddenly working for me after a day of frustration with it not working and also BOB1 having an annoying error with the loading screen blocking some of the ingame 3d flying

i suspected i would not have the answer to the compatiblity issues fully hence why i mentioned it was "working for me" in the title, but nevertheless sorry for any confusion
