I'm just starting the game, and go in the armory. Everytime I equip a sallet for my lead character, the game crashes. I have a Pentium III 600 MHz computer with 128MB RAM.

Are you running the patch??
What OS are you using??? Hopefully xenotoca will reply soon - he has great advice on this subject. Also follow the link in my signature. I believe there is some information there on some hardware problems that cause problems. Wyv |

In the meantime, don't use sallets; they suck anyway

I'm running this game on your basic Windows98 system.
No, I'm not running the patch. I've found that patches are more trouble than they're worth--at least as far as Might & Magic is concerned. |

I did not have the specific problem you are having but when I started the game I was using 64MB of memory & the load time was driving me insane so my boyfriend bought me a stick of 128 that turned out to be baaaaad! Ended up trashing more than the game on my system!
I replaced that with a new good stick of 128 and have not had one lock-up or ine crash ever since. ( I am using the first patch, I saw today that a new one has been released but as of yet have not downloaded it for reasons too long to sit here & explain, lol) ANYWHO, if you can have your memory tested, do so & see if it may be your problem. Esp if problems in the game persist or get worse. I got lucky enough to have someone give me mine (I know it costs a chunk) but if it will save your system in the long run, it is worth your while to know it is working as it should. : ) Moni P.S. M&M8 crashed on me when I checked stats on Simon Templar after I equipped him with better boots, lol...I had saved the game with them on him & had to go way back to fix my game. : ( (Beat it though!) |

ARGH! I just get started out of town, start getting the message, when it crashes AGAIN! Now I have to start over and get everything in town again...
Say what you will about the Might & Magic engine, at least it was stable. |

I loved M&M : )
Wish you could buy Arcomage someplace other than over the internet! I actually lost my M&M8 saved games from having to fix my system after installing Wizards & Warriors, I coulda cried! |
