satate_master Apprentice Member # 6348	written Tuesday, September 27 2005 04:24 Profile #0 I was considering getting Avernum since I loved Exile but after I downloaded the games I couldn’t get any of them to work. I’ve tried redownloading them but to no avail. I have tried changing the screen resolution change option but that hasn’t worked ether. What happens is when I try to change my graphic in the character creation area the game freezes. It also freezes whenever I close a pop up box during game play. So I haven’t been able to play at all (a real bummer :( ). My computer dell demission 2400 Intel CPU 2.66 (AMD is better :D ) Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Integrated graphics with 3d support Seagate 160GB Any suggestions would be welcome. -------------------- quote: Originally written by The Offspring: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the disclaimer, that's right, the disclaimer This American apple pie institution known as parental discretion will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm from the lyrics that might actually make you think, and will also insult your intelligence at the same time.

Arch-Mage Solberg Shock Trooper Member # 303	written Tuesday, September 27 2005 12:12 Profile #1 Do you change the resolution when you bring up the game to play it? If you don't you should, I always let it change it for me everytime. :cool: -------------------- My name's Solberg. Pronounced Sol-Berg. Exile/Avernum's Greatest LIVING Archmage!

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Tuesday, September 27 2005 16:26 Profile #5 What operating system? Did you let the game install at its default settings or have you changed stuff? It sounds like it can't find things, which suggests that you need to reinstall using default settings. this message sponsored by the pennant -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

The Mac version shouldn't even execute at all. —Alorael, who is sure that the reverse is also true without special software. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Yup. Okay, first of all try re-downloading. It's a pain if you have dial-up, but that's the first thing. Make sure you select the Windows version (the file should end in .zip). Then install it using the default settings, and ALLOW it to change the resolution when you start it up. It will change it back when you quit. If that doesn't work, try disabling the sound in the preferences window. I had a little trouble with sound (sure, it was a 486, but hey...), and make sure you're graphics card driver is up-to date. Since it seems to be a fairly new computer, everything should be fine there though... I don't know. It has me flummoxed. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

satate_master Apprentice Member # 6348	written Thursday, September 29 2005 04:23 Profile #9 I’ve tried redownloading the demo but this hasn’t worked. I don’t that was the problem since I have this problem with all three games. I have also tried changing and not changing the screen resolution and it has had no effect. By the way I got Windows XP Home. -------------------- quote: Originally written by The Offspring: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the disclaimer, that's right, the disclaimer This American apple pie institution known as parental discretion will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm from the lyrics that might actually make you think, and will also insult your intelligence at the same time.

Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Thursday, September 29 2005 05:45 Profile Homepage #10 Try running the game in compatbility mode. Select Windows 98 - that's probably the best. I expect you've already tried this, but it works. You could also try this out, but it may not help you much. This version I KNOW works on XP. (It's just a setup file but hey.)

satate_master Apprentice Member # 6348	written Saturday, October 1 2005 07:39 Profile #14 Putting my PC in compatibility mode helps some but it still occasionally freezes. It seems strange that Exile works better on my new computer but Avernum just refuses to cooperate at all. -------------------- quote: Originally written by The Offspring: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the disclaimer, that's right, the disclaimer This American apple pie institution known as parental discretion will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm from the lyrics that might actually make you think, and will also insult your intelligence at the same time.
