Venom

Close to 5000 members and not one has experienced my dilema? Perhaps I should rephrase: "Are there any here with sufficient knowledge of Nethergate to postulate a solution?" If so, I would like to know what you think may be the problem.

I played Nethergate (as the Romans) for an hour or so, and after beating the goblins in the cave, I crossed out of the valley. With the minimap up, I was traversing the outside for about 30 seconds, when the game froze. After terminating the program I restarted. Same problem experienced. I tried to live with it, saving every 20 seconds or so, but it is incredibly frustrating. I have Windows 98SE with the download off Spiderweb two months ago. Has anyone else experienced this?
