Issues fixed
This section may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. You can help by modifying
the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.
Compatibility problems
In order to combat various low FPS bugs and other issues that make the game unplayable, create a shortcut with the -console command line argument. Set DigHelper.exe to Windows 2000 compatibility and run with administrator rights.[citation needed]
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\Control] "ButtonMapping"="0" "Panning"="-1" "Zoom"="-1" "Tilt"="-1" "PanMouseFactor"="100" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Input] "SimpleControl"="1" "MouseSpeed"="1" "BorderScroll"="1" "MouseScroll"="1" "KeyScroll"="1" "ZoomSpeedFactor"="0" "ViewModifier"="2" "AltModifier"="3" "PanModifier"="1" "ZoomModifier"="4" "TiltModifier"="5" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SekOst\Diggles\Misc] "PersistOptions"="1" "ShowSubText"="1" "ReverseStereo"="1" "ShowFMV"="1" "ShowQuotes"="1" "ThreadPriority"="1" "MinThreadSleep"="2" "DIPYieldThreshold"="10000" "RedundantStateChanges"="0" "PauseOnDeactivate"="1" "PlayerAIDefault"="0" "WorldIsInvalid"="0" "ScapeLight"="1" "AutoDigRange"="120" "AutoHarvestRange"="120" "NoGamespeedLock"="0" "UseTclClassCache"="0" "GameSaveCompression"="7" "AnimStats"="0" "MaxGametimeFactor"="64" "PerfStats"="0" "Sound"="1" "Music"="1" "LoadInfoMax"="17624" [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 frame rate and speed control.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1478650/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (1478650) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
