Fledgling Fyora mrmannyman Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 at certain points in the game, like clicking "done" in a shop or clicking "no" at the warning about jumping off ledges, the game locks up for a few moments then when it comes back there is no sound at all. if i quit and reload the sound will return, but the same error will occur sooner or later. i am running windows XP and more information can be given if needed. any way to fix this? 1,000 thank yous.

Unflappable Drayk Toenail Returns Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 oh no it happens to you too. I happens to me ALL the time in Exile III. It takes forever to save, and then I have to restart my computer... As for fixing it, the only advice I can give is that don't do things so quickly if you are. Sorry that's all I got.

Fledgling Fyora mrmannyman Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 Yeah, going about things slower is a little better but i cant use magic or shops without the error happening. but this never happens with the exile series, only avernum.

Curious Artila Theodis Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yeah I have the same problem. My solution is to just use my old laptop that has Win98 installed rather than my WinXP desktop . I was just comming to this board to post this exact problem when I noticed someone else already beat me to the punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Reality Corp. Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Try this: http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=001430 It might work for Avernum as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt StD Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Ah, compatibility (sp?) mode has worked some times for me on older games too... You should try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Yossar Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I still get this behavior using compatibility mode for Win95 or Win98. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Yossar Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hmm, Blades of Avernum works fine, though. Guess I'll just skip the first three games. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
