I have a BVision and it crash here too, when i double-click the game's icon. It produce a PPC exception window to be precise. Well, i tried to run it under MorphOS and it runs without problems!
So, what could be the cause of this problem? Why it runs under MorphOS but not under AOS 3.x, while it's a Warp executable? And it's not the only case. Iirc, cyberlemings and another program which i can't remember behaves exactly the same.

MorphOS has highly advanced WarpOS and Warp3D wrapper libraries that in fact are more compatible and less buggy than the originals. That's probably why these apps/games work under MorphOS.

Another option is that the programs fail to obtain some resource or library under your AOS 3.x setup, and instead of cleaning up nicely they just crash. In this case you could try SnoopDOS to see if something obvious is failing before the crash.

I don't know what a wrapper library is, but my WarpOS and Warp3D libraries that i have installed on the MorphOS partition were copied for my AOS one. So, they are identical. And so are the WarpOS/3D settings

Unless if you copied the 68k files to SYS:MorphOS/Libs/, MorphOS uses its' own wrapper libraries found there, rather than the 68k ones. Libraries in SYS:MorphOS/Libs have precedence over SYS:Libs ones. MorphOS WOS/W3D wrapper libraries ignore WOS/W3D settings (env variables) as they're irrelevant for MorphOS.

If you indeed did really replace the MOS libs then I can't possibly explain it.

Indeed I forgot about that Permedia2 thing. So it can only be WOS.

About the WarpOS: Well, when i fist installed MorphOS i noticed that there wasn't a warp.library in the archive and so, i copied the warp.library for the AOS in the sys:morphos/libs/ directory. Now, when your said that a MOS version of the library exist, i decided to delete the warp.library to see what will happen. Check this out! WarpOS programs continue to run without problems! How is this possible? Perhaps the warp.library is replaced by the ppc or powerpc.library which are both resident. I can't think of something else.

warp.library is not used at all by the MorphOS powerpc.library wrapper. And indeed, it's resident (that is it's built into MOS).

So in the end this means that something in the original WOS is nuking for you. I am not that surprised, really.
