I have read guides and they haven\'t explained what to do about this. I\'ve tried every thing.
-
What to do about what? You need to tell us what the problem is first.
-
I see your problem, youre using Windows ME! But seriously, give us more info on whatever errors you are getting.
-
Oh, sorry! Stupid me. After initializing the world I get into the game but I can\'t move around, The only thing I can do is talk. No one I see moves either.
-
can you tell if its just really bad lag? I got .01 FPS when i first installed it. updating my video drivers gave me over 70 fps. Of course upon further review of your system specs, i see that you are using a rather old computer, witha Savage4 GT vid card. first, MB really need at leats 256mb RAM, and i think at least a 32mb vid card. (gForce 2 or better i think) so it could be your comp. You may have better luck with Crystal Blue, as I hear you wont need such a hardcore comp to run it. anyway, thats my thoughts on the matter.
-
Maybe it is just lag. I\'ve moved before, even gone to the tavern, but now I can\'t.
-
If its just that lag stuff then u really have nothing to worry about.
-
To be honest, I\'m surprised it runs on your system at all. You have a PIII 450, 160MB RAM and an 8MB video card. I think I have seen at most two people that could get it to run with a CPU thats around that slow. Most people that get it to run have >1GHz, >256MB RAM and >32MB video card.
Its most likely that your computer can\'t handle it and you are getting really low fps.
-
To move, you must click into the display area, because otherwise the chat window has the focus and grabs all keyboard input. :) To chat, do the reverse.
Also, ME must be far superiour to any version of windoze I\'ve seen yet, as I need > 200 MB of RAM and another 200 MB of swap to get PS to work (until it crashes). :)
Anyway, you can try to get your FPS up by setting PS to minumum settings (resolution, etc.) in pssetup.exe.

Alright then, thank you.
