Garrulous Glaahk Pig Catapult Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I tried to play A Good Beginning, then Cave of No Return, then Valley of Dying Things, and each run was stopped dead the first time an NPC started talking with text above their head. The [spoiler redacted] in A Good Beginning and the Mayor of Sweetgrove in VoDT got a line or two in before the freeze. I'm running Windows 10 with the Windows XP compatibility pack, with the version of the game that's available on GOG. Is there anything I can do?

Seasoned Roamer Sokhbep Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I am running the game without any compatibility patches. Try removing them and see what goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Pig Catapult Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Used GOG's "repair" function. VoDT still hangs, but it resolved eventually. I have to go through start-of-scenario text/image sections quickly or it will freeze, though. (Which is why I used the compatibility pack in the first place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Ivan [Redacted] Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'm a bit late here, but I personally use Windows 10's 95 and 98 compatibility modes on the old Avernum engine, seems to remove freezes entirely, cutscenes have no issues for me, nor do the splash screens. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
