**General In Game Problem Thread

Alot of in-game problem threads have came up in the past several days. So in this thread post your problems that have occurted in your game. Here are some tips on how to avoid slow game play.

Turn off all trails and reduce draw distance.
To do this, goto options and then to settings, they should be there.
Tip From: D Ice

Remember to install Direct X 8.1
Remember to install the newest driver, Direct C 8.1 It should be on your disk but if its not, Here it is.

Appox download: 1 hour, 10 minutes on a 56k modem using AOL.

size: 11.5 mega bytes

Transfer rate: 3.0 kb per second.
Tip from:Smoke


Have any other problems with the game after trying these, please, post them here.

If you don't mind, can you post your systems stuff? Just to see if it has anything that doesnt meet the requirements.

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Some times it does fix itself after a while, maybe you need to update your graphix card by going onto the company website and downloading the newest patch (From the card company).

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Thats a good question, but since you seem to have game slow down, I would probley have the card. But if everything is slow, maybe the 256 is for you. I can get you some good deals on cards if you want me to.

Try opening up the Run feature [Start/Run] (At the bottom left side of the screen) and type in that "DXDIALOG" or whatever it is in. It should find it (hopefully).

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

The best way to do this is probley make shortcuts to other things.. to do so, just highlight or left click (I think) click on the ones you want and move it to a difrent folder, it should do an auto shortcut.

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Have you downloaded the old patch? That fixes alot of problems that you have in the game. I guess your running on XP also...

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Thats odd, have you added anymods on or anything, if that doesnt work reload your game (Keep saves if you want)

re: **General In Game Problem Thread

Does it do that when your not playing a game as well? If it is, then maybe try getting a new keyboard. Also, be sure that your keys arn't sticky, my friend's brother got jelly under the shift key and it sticks from time to time.
