I'm new to the Spiderweb world world of games - better late than never! I am currently playing the demo of the first Exile game & there seems to be a bug - when my characters walk on certain white "activity spots" (i.e. the goblins near Ft. Duvno) I get a message telling me "I have disturbed blah, blah... and am about to be attacked" and my PC crashes - I am running Win98 (not SE) on a P3 500 - 386MB RAM, 64MB video card, SB Live audio card - I have reinstalled game/defragged system/cleaned registry/done all other things you have to do the cranky PCs. Any help would be appreciated, as I can not buy the game unless I can finish it (which won't be the case if I can't completely explore the world of Exile).

Yikes. That may be a driver error, but it shouldn't do that. If you want, you can try Avernum 1. Avernum is Exile with a new interface, and it might be more stable on your machine. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives. Check out a great source for information on Avernum 2, Nethergate, and Subterra: Zeviz's page. Finally, there's my Geneforge FAQ, Geneforge 2 FAQ, and Geneforge 3 FAQ.

Thanks for the advice Schrodinger - its a shame though - the gameplay in the Exile trilogy looks great: reminds me of my Spectrum 48k days - but needs must, I suppose. I must say its a pleaseure to find the wealth of resources that exist for Spiderweb software and see the obvious respect and connection that both developers and players share.
