BTS Crashing on a new Macbook Pro

[Prodigal Son]

I've installed windows 7 64 through Boot Camp and Beyond the Sword won't run. It crashes when I try to launch the game and says this program needs to be closed.

Any tips to get it working?

I'm running version 3.13 of BTS

1. I didn't think Bootcamp was Windows 7 compatible yet.

2. For 64 bit Windows I imagine you need 64 bit Bootcamp drivers.

3. I'd be very surprised if BtS is a 64 bit application. Do you have to do anything special to run 32 bit applications in 64 bit Windows?

4. The latest version of BtS is 3.19. I recommend upgrading it.

There are 64 bit boot camp drivers, new MBPs fine with Windows 7

No, it runs 64 and 32 bit applications without a problem

4. The latest version of BtS is 3.19. I recommend upgrading it.

I will try that, thanks!

The first link below indicates there are compatibility issues currently, and both items say Win7 support in Bootcamp will not be available until the year end. Maybe you are experiencing DirectX3D driver incompatibilities?
