zes (2010-08-24)

Im running this on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I dunno how i did to install it tho.
A friend of mine got real big problems on his Win 7 copy.
But Im sure there is a fix for this out there.

Gr8 job guys,this game brings back so much fun memories :D.The age when almost all games were good and this is one of the last.

Ok, so I downloaded it and I can only extract THE_BARDS_TALE.part01.rar. When I try to extract the others (with 7-zip) I get:
Data error in 'THE_BARDS_TALE.is'. File is broken
Ok. Fine. So I tried to see if somehow it would just play with the ISO I was able to extract from THE_BARDS_TALE.part01.rar, but when I tried to mount it on Disk A in ISODisk I got the error:
Can't create A, you must reboot after install this software. And yes, I did reboot just prior to trying this.
Would be nice if there was a HOWTO or README.

Ok, well I just installed Magic ISO and I was able to launch the installer so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the problem was just ISO Disk is fail.

works just fine for me other than i had to get a crack from somewhere else so it would even play but it runs beautifully even on this old rig i have (intel centrino duo with an Nvidia 7600 go and only 1GB ram yeah I know my specs suck but it works for me ... it played Crysis when it came out on medium settings so that's saying something about this old rig :-P) and i can run with all options max and mediocre res with 0 lag. I will seed for as long as I can.

Can't seem to figure out whats goin on here :/ I try to open the game after installing and it crashes as soon I open it.
Not sure if this will help but it is what the DL had stated was included after the report. I have Windows XP.

I guess it didn't care for what i tried to post..lol

ez100 (2012-07-20)

To get this working i got the no cd crack from
Bard's Tale v1.0 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE
Make sure u replace the .exe with the one in the install dir.
If running on win7 turn on run in xp sp3 comparability.

fawkes7 (2012-10-10)

works fine just download crack from

norvell84 (2012-10-26)

the game gets a little laggy during your first battle, Also when you find the ruins it lags almost to a halt.. took me forever to clear that area.

Alright, for those of you with problems on Windows 7, here ya go:
1. Go to the image file's directory (after mounting it, obviously) and click on "Program Files." Drag the inXile folder somewhere to your hard drive, such as your desktop. It's 7.5 gigs, which is strange for a PC game released in 2005, but that's just the size of it.
2. Go to GameCopyWorld and download a no-cd or no-dvd crack.
3. Copy the crack into the The Bards Tale folder (inside the inXile folder). Then tell the game's .exe to win in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode and there you go.

This torrent weighs fuckton. There's GOG torrent floating around, I suggest you go and find it, it should run smoothly.
