When I started SubTerra the little man collected the emeralds, sure, but when I started the game, in the editor or anywhere else, the level loads and just FREEZES! I'm running it on Windows XP. On my other Windows XP it worked fine, but on this one it refused to. Can anybody help me? Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

XP often needs added software to be compatible with older games. Maybe your other windows version had such plug-ins installed? -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

I'm not running XP myself, friends who do told me about this. I could give you the URLs of german sites where I would look, if I searched for such an update. But you won't probably be able to read them. Best option may be to go on the Microsoft site and search there. But please do that only, when you don't have too many cracks on your computer. Otherwise, ask a friend. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

I would suggest going to the microsoft site and searching for terms like XP DirectX. It is an unfortunate fact that XP is not fully backwards compatible with other windows versions. -------------------- Pieter Simoons, aka Radiant Official Crystal Shard and SubTerra webpage Posts: 798 | Registered: Monday, December 17 2001 08:00 |

HAHAHAHAHA I already started a topic about SubTerra not working, and it's directly under this one, at the time of this post. It's called "SubTerra won't work! AAAAHHH!!!!!" Ha. Anyway, Radiant said he'll be releasing a patch soon. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

It sounds complicated. I might do what you suggested, but meanwhile I have Subterra on two more computers. One is Windows XP and it works. The other is Windows 95 (or is it 98? I can never remember) and it works also. As for The Almighty Doer of Stuff, I didn't think of looking at your post first, I assumed your situation was completely different.
