Re: Text Speed Issue

I'm using a very basic Vista system right now. In QFG2 I changed the Graphics Driver to Direct 3D 9, and the issue hasn't happened since (although I can't be certain that it won't.) In Al Emmo, that was the only setting that I could use to get the game to work and it did happen occasionally. If I do...

Text Speed Issue

Hi guys, The Coles' Kickstarter project has me feeling all nostalgic, so I thought I'd play through the series yet again. Which of course includes the QFG2 Remake. Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, the text windows will begin flashing by, far too quickly to read. Sometimes leaving the screen...

Re: Favorite Song from QFG4: "Anitra's Dance" by Edvard Grieg

I thought I read on the VU forums years and years ago that several of the songs in QfG4 were at least based on themes from different classical pieces, though maybe not as directly as the Inn's theme. Does anybody know if there's any truth to that, or am I imagining things now too?

Re: Dead End in Rasier Cell?

Ok, since I don't have any save games in the remake from this point of the game, I had to try it out in the EGA, but I dropped the pin so my hero had absolutely nothing. Then I told Sharaf about Shema. He gave me the same dialogue, asking for some token, so then I told him about Shapeir, and then he...

Re: Dead End in Rasier Cell?

If you've spoken to his relative back in Shapeir, you should be able to gain the Katta's trust without the pin.

As for getting out of the cell, you're a mage, you can just Open the door. :)

You did forget one important little tidbit, buy a tinderbox before trying to camp in the savannah. I think magic users can get by without it, but they're the only ones.

Re: HELP QG3-4

You need to give some more info before anyone can help you. First, are you sure that you waited till the prompt at the end to create a proper save file? I believe the default name of the file should be GLORY3.sav or something quite similar. Second, where did you save the file to, and are you certain...

Try this, then click on "download fix" under Quest for Glory 3, to download the zip file. The link was trying to go directly to the zip file which would explain why it didn't work. :)

Re: "The Longest Journey" - lost my save files!

I can give you words of sympathy. That does really suck. I love that game, but I don't think I'd want to have start from the beginning after getting so far. But even if you were playing in English I couldn't help as I last played it on someone else's computer (mine can't handle the game anymore) so ...

I think I'll probably be flamed for saying this, but The Matrix. I loved the first, and I loved the way the first movie ended, it was powerful and hopeful. The next two had some cool scenes, but over all, got way too bogged down in existential philosophy and messianic parallels. And I definitely was...

Re: Service Pack 3 for XP

Hmmm... Would it be possible for this SP3 to muck with your audio and video codecs? When exactly was it relased? (I've got my computer set to automatically download and install, so I wouldn't really have paid much attention when it happened.) That could explain a few things.

The thing I despised the most in the game was that stylistically it didn't seem to fit. too much greco-roman influences.
