I have problems with a consistent crash early in the game. within 10 seconds of leaving the village I get kicked back to Windows. My configuration is as follows:
P II 233 MMX Aopen BX M/B 400Mb + Memory 32Mb Diamond Viper TnT2 Ultra Creative Awe 64 ISA S/C 30G 7200 rpm HDD 32X CD Rom Win 98 SE DirectX 8 -No background programs inc antivirus and firewall, and no corruptions- I've tried the following solutions: Played with CD Rom Cache settings, high and low Played with HDD cache settings, high and not low (don't be stupid) Tried 3 v/C drivers, 2 from diamond(S3) and one NVidia reference (latest one) tried many 3D settings within the game both high and lowest tried reinstalling video compression (suggestion from here) defragged HDD Also installed old 4Mb Diamond Viper as last resort and tried 2 drivers (almost big system mistake heheh) disabled soundcard tried 256 colours of course I tried the 1.0 patch (beta) full install vs min install various combos of the above I don't think the problem is video but hey I could be wrong. I've seen alot of tweeks here and some have worked but not for me. I'm at my wits end, you probably will be too after reading this long message. Any help would be appreciated. PS being a computer techo in a PC retail shop, I have fixed many peoples gaming problems.....ironies ironies ironies Thanx Graat

Welcome to the board, Graat!!!
Try reading through Saz' Techie Help Desk thread (2nd from the top). Off hand I think your problem is DirectX 8. You will find in Saz's thread instructions on how to remove DX 8 and load up DX 7 which seems to be far more stable. Hope that will solve the problem or that you will figure out the solution by reading Saz' thread! Keep us posted!! Wvy |

I'd also suspect DirectX 8. You might also check to see if you're in hardware or software mode for the video; software mode seems to be less glitchy.
