  1. Thanks, but I know this. I'm really saying that when I'd be selling 4 Gold Necklaces (each supposedly worth 100 coins), the Slith would only give me 25 coins, not 4x25=100, but all the necklaces would disappear from my inventory. This is what explicitly happened with my flawed crystals and other stacked items. Sorry for not having been more explicit.
  2. After having finished Avernums 1-3 a few years ago I decided to come back and try the newest one. Right now I'm playing the demo. After clearing the first underground area I wanted to sell my loot to the slith in the Depot. BUT! Regardless of how many items of price x I have in the stack I'm selling, I'm only getting x coins from the slith! (So, to get a reasonable amount of money, I have to sell all the flawed crystals one by one.) Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm playing in Wine, on Ubuntu - could this be of any significance? BTW, I love the new engine. (Loved the old one, too...)
  3. Most likely. Unfortunately, I wanted to play on the train and in similar places in which a 2nd monitor is not an option :-) Never mind, I'll most certainly play A4 on my "main" computer some time.
  4. In MSI Wind, the maximum screen resolution is 1024x600. (This is a "netbook", or a "subnotebook" or however you call them - it's a bit smaller than a normal notebook, but it's big enough that I find it surprisingly effective for work (e.g. editing big LaTeX files etc.)).
  5. Alright. A pity, though; I really wanted to continue the saga on my new machine.
  6. Unfortunately, still nothing. I installed the latest drivers for my graphics card and still get the same error. BTW, the game says the resolution should be 800x600 with a 16-bit palette; while the game page says it requires 1024x768. My screen has 1024x600; could this be the reason even though the game itself says otherwise? edit: I just found that the demo of Geneforge 1 works flawlessly.
  7. Thank you for the idea. Unfortunately, I have tried the various compatibility modes to no avail - still the same error.
  8. Hi, I completed the first three Avernum 3 games. I decided to try the fourth one on my new MSI Wind U100 netbook. Unfortunately, it always tells me my computer's resolution and color depth is not set up properly, and that I should allow A4 to set it itself, and then displays an "Unhandled exception: c0000005 At address: 0040293e" error. I reinstalled DirectX. I tried these resolution settings: 800x600 16-bit 800x600 32-bit 1024x600 16-bit 1024x600 32-bit always with the same result. (I of course expected A4 to change the resolution itself.) I'd appreciate some help since I like both Spiderweb games and the MSI Wind :-) (Using Windows XP.)
