Well...not that this matters to anyone, but I thought this might be a good place to say it.
I had recently been having problems with the game locking upon exit and traced the problem to my video card (as I noticed others here were having the same problem). Since I had a Voodoo 3 I decided it was time to upgrade, as the 3D was sor ot choppy anyway.
I went out this weekend and got a Voodoo 4 4500 AGP, and was excited bringing it home this weekend thinking that the spell animations would now be better, and there would be no more lag when there were multiple characters on the screen.
Well, as a plus the game does run faster. I no longer have skips, and I get an excellent framerate no matter what is going on on-screen. However...whenever I go to use 32Bit color...I lock cold. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, please press the reset button on your machine and cope with the problem.
ARGH!
Oh well...I guess it just goes to show that you can't have everything you want. Does anyone else have 32 Bit color problems with the Voodoo 4 4500?
