DISAPPEARING TOWNS

01-07-2001, 01:14 PM

Here is something that happened to me when I was playing. I had finished the crypt and saved the toads from their plight. I went to go into town and the town was not there. All i got was a black screen where the town should have been. I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. Same thing. No town was present. And if you choose to uninstall the game without using the game uninstaller, you cannot install the game again without calling or emailing Activisions technical support. I just got done formatting the hard drive and reinstalling in order to play again. I hope this doesnt happen again or I will pull my hair out.

Don't know why this would have happened.

What hardware and OS are you running??

Im running windows 98. Got a Guillemot Fortissimo sound card, Voodoo 4500 AGP vidcard with 32 Meg RAM, 450 MHZ AMD k6 III processor with 128 Megs of RAM.
Dunno why it happened. I just hope it dont happen again because I doubt Ill have the patience to reinstall everything.

Well, I surely wish xenotoca was posting of late - he'd probably have some good ideas for you.
Can you run the game in software mode - seems some problems arise from the different vidcards.
I know others experienced problems with the towns "locking up" - they could get in, but not out - I'll try to see if I can search any of those out for you and push them back to the top.

Actually, that is what Ive been playin in. Ive been using software mode. When I ran into the problem I tried changing resolutions. That didnt do anything.
