Have you tried running it via Virtual Machine on an older OS ?
There are several possible things to try – first of all launch the game on comparability mode
Second is to manually reinstall XP Mode to Windows 10 – which is tricky and might not work
Or setup a virtual machine with Windows XP – but if your are using an external disc drive the copy protection of BW2 might prevent it from working
There might be some fan comparability mod, the last time I installed BW 2 was still on Windows 7 and back then it worked fine, so I don’t know – if you need help with anything message me, I will look into it with you, I have a lot of experience with installing old PC games in New hardware but no guarantee we get our to work
Lol I worked on this game. Nice to hear people found it their favorite 🙂
According to the PC gaming wiki, there is an unofficial patch that lets you play on Windows 10.

Check under”Essential improvements”.
One of the best games made. I wish they would do a remake for this. Same fame new graphics type of thing
recall playing it not that long ago and also the addon with Aztec gods or whatever so it’s not impossible
I have never played this or even seen any gameplay. But I keep hearing about it especially from people saying it would make a good VR game. What is this game about?
Get some old hardware :p
Beat fucking game!
This is the game that killed my Alienware (my first PC I got in high school saving money for before dell bought them out)
I was all excited to try it. Boot it up and the graphics card crashed. Sad days :/ never did get to play it! Seemed like a cool game. I think steam has a similar type of game that I remember a friend telling me about
You can get the game to run as I’ve got mine but I have no idea how I managed it 🙁
EA in Southern California. It was a great experience, one of the best experiences ever. Despite crazy hours they treated us so well. But tbh the best game I ever worked on there was Battlefield 2
This was a really great game.
Dang, that pokemon gen looks cooler than I remember
Modern problems require modern solutions
I don’t understand why they didn’t continue making this game. I mean I was terrible at it but I still loved playing it.
Time machine?
Needs a VR remake

Everything you need to be able to play on windows 10 😁
VM a WinXP installation.
Great game, so was Black & White 1…
And I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I really want a remake of this game on VR
Updated (unnoficial) or cracked versions online, virtualbox, emulators (older OS), dual boot machine, many solutions that might work
i wonder why it is called black and White and not white and black bc the two hands are on the opposite side…?
A VR enabled remake would be a dream come true
Why has this never been re-released on steam or something?
I would love to play it again. I tried a few years ago with the fan patch but I couldn’t get it to work no matter how hard I tried.
Try download it instead? It requires a cd player to install
Last time I tried to play this (6-7yrs ago) I had to disable some aspect of my disk drive security so it would run the disk.
If it was literally any other company it would be on GoG but sadly not yet 🙁
Make sure you get the timer fix as well. I recently replayed and couldnt get any of my baby villagers to age. literally hundreds of children but theyd never grow up
Virtual machine
I want so badly for somebody to make this game in VR. Preferably a straight up sequel built from the ground up for VR.
UNIVERSE HEAR OUR PRAYERS
PLEASE SWEET MOTHERFUCKING GOD MAKE A BLACK & WHITE 3!!!!
I loved Black & White; for some reason #2 didn’t take for me. I think having more obvious feedback on how your actions affected the underlying systems kinda killed the magic.
B&W was probably not as complex, but because the AI mechanisms were obfuscated it really gave the illusion on a complex, I knowable system that that you worked with and hoped for the best.
It was a little bit of a dissapointment for me. I loved black and white 1 so I wanted a similar experience from 2. Instead 2 became a war simulator.
As for your question maybe you can try running it in a virtual machine.
Black and White was my favourite game of all time for a long while. I really tried to get into B&W2 but I just couldn’t. It just lost a lot of the charm from the first game imo.
I have always wanted to play this game, but it never played right on my machines. It would always be super stuttery and lock up.
Emulator
Eh, I preferred Diamond and Pearl /s
Btw Pokémon put out a remaster in 2012. Might wanna check those out
You just triggered a childhood memory. Thank you lol
Install windows xp my guy.
Being a god was fun af, any modern games with this concept?
man I played the crap out of B&W when back when it first came out. there should definitely be a re-make with updated graphics. they are a bit outdated at this point. i’m sure it would sell
