Additionally, use Compatibility Mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 on the gorasul_noov.exe. |

Very low frame rate, stuttering
This happens if DirectX is not properly installed.
Install DirectX from the game's installation folder (\DirectX8\dxsetup.exe). |
---|
Or use a DirectX wrapper like dgVoodoo 2.[3] |

Issues unresolved
Crash after entering new area
The game can crash to desktop quite often after entering a new location if it starts immediately with a fight.
Save after entering new location |
---|
Save the game immediately whenever you enter a new area, that seems to prevent any crashes. |
Companions lose starting gear if not recruited immediately
When you encounter a new companion and don't let them join immediately, then they will go to their waiting spot. However, if you now recruit them from there they will have lost all starting equipment. However, this is not a big deal since their starting equipment is usually not very good.
Recruit, then immediately dismiss |
---|
To work around this, you can recruit and then immediately dismiss them (if your party is already full, temporarily dismiss another character). Then they will keep their gear if you recruit them again. Companion waiting spots are:
|
After they've once been in the party, they will always keep all items that you give them, even if you dismiss and then recruit them again (only quest items will automatically transfer to the main character's inventory). So you're save from then on.
Dismissing characters resets their combat tactics (k). Also keep in mind that each char stores their money seperately, so transfer all gold to your main char before dismissing somebody.
