There's only a couple of changes in the patches, but a lot of bugs would probably be fixed as subsequent to the changes. Mostly graphical issues at most though.
Merry Christmas :) I've just finished the fan patch for BW2: BoTG and have created user friendly installers for both Black & White 1 and 2. These patches include various bug fixes to make the Black and White series run as smoothly as possible on your new modern systems. Downloads and support...

Hi, that error is caused by an integer overflow, I think this is caused by the representation of the number of pixels exceeding the data type of a short (16 bits) - No real way to solve it other then rewriting a lot of graphics rendering code - or by running in just 1080p

The fan patch is also a no cd patch since the ability to verify the game installation via CD broke in Windows 8 making a no cd patch a requirement to run the game. You need to copy the audio folder over if you do not play the game with the CD inserted.
Black and White 2 was originally designed for processors of around 2.0GHz, these now go upwards to 5GHz these days, it completely throws the games timers off making timed sequences complete twice as fast; I tried to fix this in my patch, can you confirm that you're using the patch I provided?
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your map :( Can I ask if you're using my fan patch found here? http://www.bwfiles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7916.0
If you are, would you mind posting your crash dumps, I can look at them and find the exact cause of the crashes then and hopefully fix them...
what led you to believe that? the fan patch is completely compatible with those specs and will make the game run flawlessly, let me know if you have any issues after installing the patch.
If you install the fan patch I made here http://www.bwfiles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7916.0 it comes with it's own setup utility that should save settings properly on modern systems.
