Curious Artila Maharg Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If I leave my computer for a while in the middle of playing A4, my screen saver cuts in after 10 minutes inactivity. When I return and remove the screen saver, the screen is black. Using Ctrl-Atl-Del reveals that A4 has suffered an unhandled exception. Woe betide me if I have just won a difficult battle and have not saved the game! I know I can avoid the problem by removing the screen saver or setting the time out much higher. Has anyone else encountered this? I run XP Home. On another note every now and again the program minimises itseld for no apparent reason. This is not a big problem as I can maximise it again and continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Avernum 4 really, really doesn't like sharing system resources. If you have any other programs running at the same time as A4, including screensavers, problems can arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 A4 will crash for the slightest reason. You don't even need to have anything else running. The best advice is to save often because it will go in the middle of showing a spell's result, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 And each time A4 crashes, you go and restart it? I think the problem isn't with A4, it's with you. By crashing, A4 is doing you a favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
