Disciples 2 won't launch

Published on April 22, 2008 By OpusCroakus In Stardock Games

I'm having trouble getting Disciples 2 to run. I can download and install the game and all of its components. When I run the shortcut, a launcher window appears. But no matter what I click on, nothing happens. I've even tried launching the exe's directly from their installed folders with the same results. I've tried 2 different computers - my desktop and my laptop - both running XP SP2, latest Stardock apps/etc. installed.

Is there a log/error file which should be created where I might begin troubleshooting this? I've kind of hit a brick wall here, and all support links seem to indicate I have the most up-to-date version of D2.

Thanks for any help with this.

Disciples 2 seems to somehow clash WindowBlinds. Try unloading WindowBlinds before you start Disciples2.

I had the same problem, and adding Disciples to the peer-application list whithin WB didn't work, but unloading WB before starting Disciples does the trick (on my XPSP2 Laptop).

Thank you!!! I first tried adding the apps to the WB per-application list, and it worked! In fact, you only need to add the "Discipl2.exe" to the list and completely exclude it (Don't skin it); You don't need the "D2Ultimate.exe" - the launcher. When I exit the game, I do get some stack fault error... but at least the game launches, intro plays, etc. No need to even unload WB. Thanks again, aufisch!

OMG, thank you so much! I miss this game and I've been trying to make this work on my notebook all day.

But the solution was just that simple. Just unloaded the dock, and yeah! Thank you, you ROCK!!!!
