In case anyone is interested in playing this one again. I was able to get it working under Windows 7 64bit @ 1920x1080

Here is how.

Install the game, then download the Super Patch V2
http://www.moddb.com/games/carmageddon-ii-carpocalypse-now/downloads/super-patch-v2

IMPORTANT
Now that you have the super patch extracted to your Carmageddon 2 directory, Only use the CARMA2_HW.exe to run the game. Also right click on the .exe and go to properties to select Windows 98/ME Compatibility mode ;)

After installing the patch (and making a shortcut of CARMA2_HW on your desktop) you want to go here and get Nglide Wrapper

Nglide wrapper allows you to play all of your old Glide / 3dfx games at widescreen resolutions.

After its installed, run the Configure icon to set your resolution.

As for controls , I was having a problem with the game not letting me use the directional D-pad for movement on my Logitech Dual Action II, so I did a bit of research and found this simple program to emulate my controller to match my keyboard.

(The download option is at the bottom of the page)


After all that, it should be working for you, the only thing that isn't working is the in game music, this is a problem with the Super Patch V2 I hear. (No Iron Maiden :() But the game works flawlessly and there is always Winamp!

Have fun!:D
 
This should work great with my Voodoo 28 500000. Have you SEEN this anti-aliasing shit? Hardware T&L v.17!
 
Sure thing. I was amazed that it worked this time after trying so many times in the past. I had to share :)
 
It seems like I have tried everything to get carmageddon 2 working on windows 7 but nothing works. It launches the intro video and main menu, but when I start the race it goes black and says it stopped working. Can anyone here help me I really want to play this game!
This is what I've already tried:
Compatibility modes
Super patch v2
C2 xp/vista/w7 patch
Glide wrapper

The following worked for me with Win 7:

  • Install Carmageddon 2 from CD or backup image.
  • Download the XP patch HERE
  • Set any launch options (Recommend you use 3DFX [nGlide] for high resolutions)
  • Replace the original file with the one in the archive.
  • Change the compatibility settings for this file to "Windows XP SP3"
  • Run in 640 x 480 (nGlide will over-ride this in-game).
  • Do not use the launcher to run the game or you will not have any sound. You must create a shortcut to the file you replaced.

I tried everything u said and it's still the same :( and I don't want to buy the gog version. Is there anything else I can do?

You can build a Windows 98 machine. Or you can stop being cheap ass and buy the GoG version. It works perfectly.

There are other 'Wink, Wink" sites that you could obtain it from though.
