can't enter town anymore

Weissxx · 07-16-2001, 02:05 PM

I loaded a game in the serpent temple when suddenly the automap resetet, but i didn't mind. When i had finished the temple i wanted to go back to a town and when i clicked on the town gate i suddenly received an error message
DEEP6: RecordPC PCPtr==0Error.
Has anyone ever had this problem before or does anyone know how to solve it?
i've got a intel celeron 300a processor that runs at 450 Mhz and 128 Mb SD Ram 100 Mhz than a Matrox G400 driver versio 4.11.01.1250
DirectX Version 8.0 (4.08.00.0400) and my harddisk has only 267 MB Free Space
i've read that this could be a problem, and there should be at least 300 MB but i allready tried to delete some files so that there is more free space but the
win386.swp grew bigger and bigger and i only have a 2 Gbyte Harddisk and i can't delete more files. I've installed the patch v1.00 and use Windows 98
4.10.2222

Hi Weissxx!!!

Okay, I'm no expert in this so I recommend that you cross post this over to Saz's techie help desk thread so the real gurus can help you out.

DirectX 8 might be your problem. I personally am able to run this game with DirectX 8 but that seems to be the trouble spot for many other systems. Check out the Best Tips thread for information on how to downgrade (I know, it's a drag) to DirectX 7.
There should be something in Saz's thread or in the Best Tips thread that directly relates to problems with entering or exiting town. I hope you find the solution to your problem there.
If not - do let us know and we'll try to figure out what is going wrong.

Hmmm, it could also be a swap file problem... you never know, you HDD is pretty full.

Are you sure you deleted all the files you could (internet temp, internet download...). If you managed to get the 300 MB, go to settings/control panel/system/performance/virtual memory and set it to Max 300 and Min 300... that way, you'll always have a 300 MB swapfile.

good luck
