Shallow Grave was created using a beta version of Adventure Creator - we have made every attempt to ensure that it will run correctly, but since it was created on a beta release of Adventure Creator, we consider it a beta; subject to the same beta problems that Adventure Creator will have.
Some problems and solutions are listed below. If you are experiencing difficulty with a problem that is not listed please feel free to contact us and we'll try to remedy the situation. Our email address is AutumnSoft@aol.com
PROBLEM
Shallow Grave starts but nothing appears when I press play
SOLUTION
Shallow Grave requires QuickTime to be installed. If you don't have quicktime installed - go into your extensions manager and activate QuickTime. If you don't have QuickTime it is available on any online service and at most Apple Web Sites.
PROBLEM
Shallow Grave quits with an error code 1 when I try to start it.
SOLUTION
First make sure that Shallow Grave isn't locked. Check the "get info" box to find out if it is.
Next, if you are running Shallow Grave on a 6100 series Power PC or a Power Computing Clone, you cannot have modern memory manager and RAM Doubler running simultaneously. Disable one or the other and see if that solves the problem
Note: This may be fixed with the newer releases of RAM Doubler
PROBLEM
Shallow Grave quits with an error code 1 when I am playing
SOLUTION
This was a problem during alpha testing of Shallow Grave and Adventure Creator, we believe we have eliminated 90% of the problem. If this does occur restart Shallow Grave and continue from your last saved position - the error seems to occur only after restoring multiple times in the same session.
PROBLEM
I can't double-click a saved game to start Shallow Grave.
SOLUTION
Adventure Creator beta 1.0b does not yet support saved game file start-ups (it will by the final release) and since Shallow Grave was created in Adventure Creator it too does not support them. You'll need to start Shallow Grave and choose Restore from the file menu.
