    I know the end to this was about 3 years ago,but still.
    I played Arcanum back in 2001,lost the disk,burned copies,got a new computer,so on and so forth.I have never had the time or anything to get to buying a new disk,so dont recommend that..I'll get to it when I can
    Now,I'm stuck in the same "_AIL_set_stream_volume@8" problem,although I downloaded both of the missing dll files and placed them in correct folders.I also downloaded all the patches required,along with some hacks.Arcanum worked fine on my old Windows98 computer (that is now junked,because it died..),and Arcanum has NEVER worked on my Compaq/Windows XP computer.Could it not be that it is just the computer itself,and not the game?
    I've loved this game for a very,very long time,and some help with that file would be very much appreciated..

    Congratulations. Your post has actually annoyed me enough I'm going to try and blackmail someone into making me a moderator so that I can split your post into a new thread. Hell, there was even a comment in here from two years ago telling someone to not dig up a thread that was six months old, but to make a new one! Do you think that's changed? Uninstall Arcanum, delete the directories, and any/all references you can find to it. Order a copy of Arcanum from the Amazon, or ebay. Install using that version. Patch to 1.0.7.4. Return to forum, and post your status. Never gravedig a thread again.

    No. Simply me. Your picture does anger me though.

    Double posting? 3 yr grave dig? Blatant ignoring of an admin's post directing you to start a new thread?

    I can say you pissed off quite a few. Wise up or you won't last long here.

    He's getting better. I think. It's understandable, Viktor. We just like to control things absolutely. :) Thank you for changing the picture, and when you've a new copy of Arcanum, hopefully it'll be trouble free! :)

    Just what degree of mental retardation does it take to knowingly dig up a thread 2 years old, despite being fully aware it's not allowed here ?
