I installed the game around 2 weeks ago and have had no problems whatsoever until yesterday. Let me tell you where I'm at just now. I went down south first and solved some quests for Mitox and Alix after first doing all the dungeons in Aleroth and setting the mages mind straight again. Now I just left the farms and have started the Abbey. I get black boxes now around some of the tress. people, etc (but not always) and also the game has crashed to the desktop a couple times. I tried different configs but nothing seems to help.
My specs are: P3 800, 512 Mb pc133 sdram, Win98SE, Voodoo 5 5500, plenty of HD space, SB live and letting Windows take care of virtual memory. I'm using Direct 3D in the game because when I try to use Glide, I get an error msg after the test. Now, I don't know if this is important, but things started to go bad after toggling back and forth between windows and the game by using alt-tab. The screen kind of went screwy for awile and then I noticed that my guy moved *very slowly* on the screen. I quit, re-started a save and the problem seemed to be gone. Is it possible that I'm using a corrupted save game that just keeps the problem going? If I go back to a much earlier save (before any of this started) could this fix the problem? I really don't want to do that because I've gone quite a distance since first noticing problems. Should I re-install and if I do, how do you keep the save games you already have (besides the obvious -copying to a separeate folder and then copying back after re-install)? Anyway, I really was enjoying this (one of the best I've found in years) until this happened. Using version 1.0034A ***Please Help*** Thanks.
