FAQ of technical problems, please read!

I dont think its only because of the polycount. You can look from the hill down to the city and it wont lag much. But its lagish in the center.... I dont know what the problem is, but i think the fog wont help much. Or.... maybe it will... ?(

[Midivar]

I\'m pretty sure \"fogging\" will improve performance, but even with that feature it won\'t be all good. In places where few polys should have to be calculated, the game is still extremely slow to the extent that it is unplayable. I think a lot of performance improvements have been made in the Crystal Space engine, so hopefully CB will make it more interesting (that is, usable) for me.

I also have difficulties getting it to work. I have managed to get in, but it seems that with a color-depth of 32-bit, the game crashes at start-up. Or maybe it is some other factor; I haven\'t traced it enough. In addition, the music still stutters for me. I thought this had been fixed a long time ago.

Ah well, I\'ll try to have patience.

[MimicSayZ]

hi when i try to run the .bat file from after downloading the other 5 game files, ms-dos closes straight away making it unable to do a install

im running windows xp prof and any advice how i can get the game working would be greatly thankful

thanks in advance

[Agent_K64]

have any of you devs thought about putting in \"fog\" to drop off some of the poly count? maybe just do so as a patch or something?

That does have the potential to boost performance a lot. Dungeon Siege uses such a system, the results are incredible.

I have not been following PS for a long time, but I remember that some people were interested in making a DirectX version of the CS engine. That would help a lot of people.

(I\'ve come back after many months... seems that this community is alive and well )

[Boril]

I think u have to delet your char and then creat it again but befor u delet it check if it \"broken\". U do that at the same place u delet it

[Crinder]

[Boril]

How do i get fullscreen? the faq in the begining dosent work in the question and i think it should be uppgraded

[Xalthar]

run pssetup.exe and select the fullscreen option

[Crinder]

I posted earlier about this problem and they told me i should delete my character.
I did this, after finding out that it was broken and created a new one and it happened again and again.
I have already created the same character 7 times and each time, the same error in database error, So the question is:
Should I insist on the same or is there something I should change?

[The3nd]

Ok i read alot of the posts here and i still have some questions/problems.
One: Even after i waited TWO hours for it to \"load up properly\" it still takes me 15 minuites to load up everytime!
Two: once it FINALLY loads up there is so much LAG that i cant even move or anything, and even if i do move its a whole 2 minuites after i told it to.
Three: About 5 minuites into the (totally lagged up and useless) game i get a typical error messege:

     This Program has preformed an illegal operation
     and will be shut down.
Details;
     PSCLIENT caused an invalid page fault in
     module, SNDWAVEOUT.DLL at 017f:0168ld5b.

WHAT THE HELL? I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE FRIGGEN GAME!!
