Playing Anstoss 2 Gold on Windows 8 - how it works

Anstoss 2 Gold came out in 1997 and includes the game Anstoss 2 and the expansion Anstoss 2 Extension. Since the game is a bit older, the installation does not always run smoothly on new operating systems. The installation also causes problems on Windows 8. However, you can change that in a few steps.

How to play Anstoss 2 Gold on Windows 8

1. Install the game normally.
2. Now download the patch. This comes from the Anstoss Zone forum.
3. You will need Win Rar to unzip the file.
4. Move the two files that are in the .rar file to the installation folder of Anstoss 2.
5. Run the "indeo32.exe" as administrator by right-clicking on it and then go to "Run as administrator".
6. Restart your PC.
7. Right-click on your desktop and select "Monitor". Hier stellen Sie die Farbtiefe von 32 auf 16 Bit.
8. Nun können Sie Anstoss 2 starten, indem Sie in das Installationsverzeichnis gehen und dort die anstoss2.exe mit einem Rechtsklick als Administrator ausführen.

Nun sollte Anstoss 2 ohne Probleme auf Ihrem Computer funktionieren.
