Memory errors...

pugnex · 09-10-2001, 11:56 PM

I am getting memory errors when I click on things in the game such as chests etc. It doesn't happen all the time. The game freezes on me, but if I alt-tab out it says that the memory address could not be read from. I doubt I have bad ram since I've been playing diablo 2 which uses all of my 256mgs. I have installed the beta patch. I am running under win2k with a v3 3000 and an sblive, all with the latest drivers. I will try doing a defrag to see if that helps. Any suggestions?

Take a peek into your system and make sure the Ram sticks are snug in thier slots. Amazing at the amount of problems caused by loose Ram.

All else fails, reinstall the game. You can keep your saves.

Welcome to the board, pugnex!!!

Cross post your problem to Saz' techie help desk thread. Read through the thread too, you may find answers to your problem. W&W can be a little quirky running on anything higher than Win98 but there are usually solutions. What version of DirectX are you running??

Hope someone will be able to help you solve the problem soon!!

I just installted the game today and tried it out. But unfortunatly I experience the same problems about freezing! Did anyone find a solution yet?
I also have windows 2k and a vodoo 3 3000
(no loose ram, already installed twice)

On top I seem to have problems in the game flow. When I start out in Valeia the manual says to go to the town hall on the right of the armory. But I can only go the the temple. And the gates on the right end of the town (east) I can't use ether. I can only leave on the left and then walk around the whole town (meet some bandits ...). Do I have a buggy version?

Please HELP!!

Sid,

Please read the following thread for a possible solution:

Win2K/XP Hall/Gate Problem

Note: For Valeia first modify the "townmsk1.avi" file.
