Patches

This configuration tested up to Windows 7 x64.

Three patches for the game can be found at the site of one of the developers: http://carsten.orthbandt.de/#cd_dl

In order to combat various low fps bugs and other issues that make the game unplayable, create a shortcut with the additional "-console" in the target box. Set DigHelper.exe to Windows 2000 compatibility and run with administrator rights.

Copy the following into a registry file, for example "Diggles registry entries.reg". Check that the installation Directories are correct.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles] "KeyLocation"="" "TclDefines"="FULL" "Language"="en" "WorkingDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Games\\Diggles"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Performance] "TextureQuality"="4" "LandscapeQuality"="2" "ObjectQuality"="2" "MaxFramerate"="60" "RatingCPU"="100" "RatingMem"="100" "RatingGfx"="100" "RatingDsk"="100" "MultiTexture"="1" "AnimInterpolation"="1" "LightGlow"="1" "BorderMask"="1" "Particles"="1" "EvtFrameSkip"="1" "TexVideoMemLimit"="4096" "MaxShadowLightDist"="8" "OldProdControl"="0" "ValidateRenderJobs"="0" "WebServer"="0" "NotBremse"="0" "ScapeJitter"="0" "UseIdiObjs"="1" "LazyTextureLoad"="1" "UseEnvMapping"="1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Screen] "DirectDrawGUID"="00000000 0000 0000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" "Direct3DGUID"="84e63de0 46aa 11cf 81 6f 00 00 c0 20 15 6e" "Width"="1024" "Height"="768" "TnL"="0" "Fullscreen"="0" "Brightness"="-0.02" "Gamma"="0.9475"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Setup] "InstDir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Games\\Diggles"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Sound] "VolumeMusic"="100" "VolumeSound"="100"



Important things to note in the registry are the screen sizes, such as [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Screen] "Width"="1024" "Height"="768" "Fullscreen"="0" The above will let you change the resolution to whatever you want and play in windowed mode.

TO change the language, modify this value.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles] "Language"="en"

en will give you English, and de will give you German.

This section will control your performance of the game. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Performance] "RatingDsk"="100" "RatingGfx"="100" "RatingCPU"="100" "RatingMem"="100" "MaxFramerate"="60"

This final section will control how fast you can speed up the game with + or - (useful for long digging sessions).

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Misc] "MaxGametimeFactor"="64" "NoGamespeedLock"="0"

People seem to prefer anywhere from 8 to 64, depending on how fast you want to speed up the game. If NoGamespeedLock =0, you will not be able to interact at higher speeds, but will instead see what speed you are running at.

For sound issues, check the Misc key.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Misc] "ShowSubText"="1" "ReverseStereo"="1" "ShowQuotes"="1" "Sound"="1" "Music"="1"

Loading and Saving

Every time you start a new campaign it will break the framerate and speed control. To fix this, as soon as you start a new game, bring up the consle (` or Scroll Lock) and type gamesave [save game name.sav]. Exit the game, merge the registry entries back into the registry, and restart the game. To load, open the console and type gameload [save game name.sav]. These saves will be stored in the Diggles directory. If you start a new game or load with the menu it will break the framerate. saving and loading with the console allows you to play the game at a full 60 fps.
