Hi all. I found this game in the check out counter at my supermarket, at $15 (the equivalent in our currency) I had to buy it!
The downside of it is it didn’t come with a manual, only a quick start chart with keyboard commands and a brief description.
I’ve been reading this forum and others, and I think I figured out most of it. Still, I have many questions about game play;
for instance when can I leave the “history” and explore, trade and survive. The proper use of mods, for there are many. For example, I downloaded the walk through and the multi mode, sent the zips to the mode folder, but I can’t find a way to access it through the library.
Or why pressing the W key doesn’t always work, and why the ASDW set doesn’t have any effect on lateral motion. I realize I’ll slap my forehead, but what it may be simple for you guys, is a mountain for me.
I had issues with the game not going past the first frame of the intro, and after a week combing the internet I found out that the problem is solved by checking the “turn off the advanced test service
for this program” box (I’m running WINXP pro), and now it works, but sometimes I have a problem starting from a save game.
I’ve had this game for 2 months now, and only this week I’ve been able to play it because of this issues. I’m now doing the errand boy
missions… and hoping to go much farther.
And sorry for the rant, it’s my fault for picking games at a supermarket, but I’ll beat it, manual or not. If necessary, I’ll write my own!!
So, there we are, any help you can give me will be appreciated, and will probably save my sanity. Thank you for your patience in reading this.
