So I downloaded Avernum 3 and it's really cool, but 1 and 2 are for classic only! any chance these are going to be carbonized? Kriana Posts: 1 | Registered: Tuesday, December 7 2004 08:00 |

Almost certainly not. Jeff is generally more interested in making new games than maintaining old ones. Besides, I think A1 and A2 run better in Classic than A3 does in OS X. When he made A3 OS X native, it ran at about a third its previous speed on my machine. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

A3 uses a different game engine. It also runs a good deal slower on Windows. :/ A2 runs at a steady pace on my (very ancient) Compaq Presario 1230. A3 takes about ten seconds for the blood-spatter animation to play when you hit someone. Posts: 262 | Registered: Thursday, November 11 2004 08:00 |

i agree, a3 definately is slower. however, if you quit everything else, close all windows and use the suggested monitor settings, it works quite well. -------------------- OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUNKY ****!!! Posts: 425 | Registered: Wednesday, January 28 2004 08:00 |
