I recently started the gain again with a neutral ogre charecter, no tech or magic, and im now up to the vendigroth ruins but the game goes seriousally chunky, and even freezes, its so bad that i cant finish the game cause i can even get into the ruins and get back out without it crashing. my computer is a 900 duron with half a gig of ram and 20 gig spare space so it aint a resorce prob, stangest thing is i passed this area with minimal tech difficalties when i played the first game with my dwarf charecter, it's really gettin to me, im desprate but i doubt anyone can help me anyhow so im just waistin my time, what can i do? :cry:
the only thing i can suggest you is to check out your swap file... otherwise,i've read on the official arcanum site that to improve performance you could add something like "nosound.exe" to a certain line in the arcanum files...i'm not sure of what i wrote,so please go and check http://www.sierra.com/games/arcanumfor further information if this last thing works,you won't hear any sound while you're playing
The lag at Vendigroth is from the bright sand & a LOT of calcuation for the spider generators. Larger parties run slower as well. The crashing is something else. The 900 duron is suficent, but what is your video card? A late model card with 32 megs helps a lot & more video memory is better. Defrag & turn off all the background cluter except Explorer & systray.
