Dogz 4 keeps freezing

[Rauha]

Heya people!

New to the site, not new to the game tho. Played it like a little maniac when I was, well ehrm, a LOT younger but, the buzz bit me again once I saw my old favorite, Dogz 4, on sale at a supermarket. I bought it, brought it home, installed it and that's about it. Never got to play it.

The problem doesn't seem to be new, googled it around a bit and found people having the same problems as I do. The game freezes over and jams the computer after you press "adopt a pet". And the dogs seem to be a perk hyperactive. So, compatability issue it is then.

People's advice has been to download a patch so that it would work for XP (and propably on Windows 7 as well) but all the threads to the patch are dead. And the official one on PetzPals just leads me to Ubisofts homesite that doesn't contain this patch.

So, any suggestions? Or does someone maybe have a patch to send?

I'd really appreciate the help. Any help. My fingers are sizzling to get started with this game again! I was thrilled to see that there still are active Petz fans around the corners, since I thought the game died along with my youth

Peace out,
Rauha

So you're playing it on XP?

I have a table PC with XP and a laptop with Windows 7, so either one I get the game to work on.

Have you tried one of these patches? You need to register with UbiSoft to download it though, so I don't know if the download still works.
