Problems with game??

[moo]

Hello!<br><br>I just started playing KQ2 (and it's beautiful!!) However, I seem to be having a lot of problems with it. Every time I encounter an Enchanter in the forest, the game freezes. After I solve some of the minor puzzles (such as the swans), the game freezes. And I can't get anywhere, because the game's always freezing = (<br><br>Does anyone know why it keeps happening?? (I'm running it on WinXP, if that matters.)<br><br>Thank you very much! <p></p><i></i>

Before you go around messing with the display (320x or 600x or whatever), try increasing the cache the game uses...<br>In the "game options" from the main menu (b4 you actually start the game) choose the "advanced" button...<br>The default is 2 or 5MB. Change it to 20MB. I did and the game only froze up once since then. <br> <p></p><i></i>

Also, make sure to run on 320x200 unless your video card doesn't support that resolution. (in that case, run 640x400);<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Erpy: I have a 15" flat-screen monitor, and when I run at either of the low resolutions, I can't see the buttons that say "Credits" and "Continue Game" at the bottom of the menu! I can't blindly click on them either. (Don't know if I tried tabbing to them). <br>But more importantly, the resolution looks better to me at 960x (or whatever) because it looks less blurry. It looks out-of-focus at lower resolutions. <br>And, I'm not having any freezing problems at all with the cache set to 20MB! I'm running windows XP btw.<br>Why is everyone so hung up on resolution?<br>thanks!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Usually, if something doesn't actually fit on your screen for a certain resolution, the solution is to adjust the horizontal/vertical position/size controls on the monitor.<br><br>I think it's just because 960x600 is really unsupported and because the change to a lower resolution <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>has</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> fixed the problem for many people. In most cases, there's simply no advantage at all to trying that. <p></p><i></i>

There is actually a disadvantage with the 960 resolution. It will slow the game down. <p>The Knight<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.warofthering.net/images/movi ... nclose.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Try messing with the display settings in that case. The force letterbox-resolution can help out every now and then. (or the window-option if you really, really have to)<br><br>But 960x600 is unsupported, causes bugs and the graphics aren't improved.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/nashg ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
