Mine is saying "The program can't start because binkw32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

It looks like it is installed and without the discs I can't reinstall it also there are 2 GameData folders so I am a little confused where to put it so I put it in the one that already had the BattlefrontII exe

This is the Path I found it under C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\GameData

I don't know maybe I need someone to screenshare on my PC so they can see whats going wrong?
That doesn't mean you need the disk, but the library binkw32 which you might have deleted.

So whats the best way to fix that when you don't have the cd's to reinstall the game?

You can find it everywhere but I'll attach and you can paste it where the executable file is.

Now it just keeps saying this once I insert disc 2 after it tells me to put disc 2 in

Sounds like a case of CD bit rot.

Easiest solution is wait until May 4th and buy it for $5 off of steam.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Okay so I finally have new discs for swbf2 do I need to delete the old swbf2 folder under LucasArts before I try installing the new discs because it won't let me uninstall what is currently in the folder?

I dont want any chances of it getting messed up again while trying to install the new discs

Delete the old game and install the new files -- then just replace the exes

Okay so I know this is getting just as old for me as it is for you guys but now I have more problems the game installed I got the new exe installed and I can get in to the game but certain parts of the game the video glitches out is there any fixes for this like I can move to a spot or look a certain direction up down left or right and I suddenly have no video unless I hit Esc and pull up the menu or if I run past an ammo bot for the stupidest reason or even when selecting which character I am going to use in battle the video will cut out as soon as I click on to the character and then come back as soon as I click off the character and then as soon as I go to spawn will have no video again

This happens in single player as well as multiplayer and can be much worse in multiplayer and is mainly just fine when I am in a star fighter unless I do a fancy roll move or fancy 180 degree turn



When I try to run the SWBFspy.exe for SWBF1 download, I get the loading screen, and shortly after, my screen just goes black with only my mouse cursor showing. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I have the impression you're a steam/gog player and only used the exe replacement instead of the specific Steam reversion file, am I wrong?

Yes, I am a Steam player. I downloaded "SWBFSpy_SWBF1_Patch-SteamPlayers" and also tried using the SWBF1Spy installer.
