TROUBLESHOOTING:
The information below should solve many of your problems installing or
running Blades of Exile...
Question: Blades of Exile refuses to install! Answer: First, make sure
you have ten megabytes of free space on the drive you're trying to
install to (the game takes up 7, but the installer needs a little extra
space). Then reboot, make sure no other programs are running, and try
installing Blades of Exile again. If this doesn't work, your download may
be corrupted. Try redownloading.
Question: I can't figure out how to do anything in the first scenario.
Answer: Run the game and hit F1 for help. The online help contains a hint
book for the first scenario.
Question: Blades of Exile crashes sometimes for no reason! Answer:
Several steps to try, which will eliminate many problems. 1. Select
Preferences from the File menu. Select Fewer Sounds. If this doesn't
help, turn off sounds. This will fix most problems. 2. Run Blades of
Exile with no other programs running. 3. Make sure you have at least 4 or
5 megabytes of free RAM. 4. Sometimes files become corrupted, either
during play or during download. For really weird problems, it sometimes
helps to redownload the entire game.
Question: I get crashes when targeting a spell or missile, and nothing
helps! Answer: Select Preferences from the File menu. Select No Targeting
Line.
Question: The Blades of Exile screen is really tiny! Answer: Go into
Windows preferences, and select a monitor mode with a different
resolution. 640x480 is recommended. (On windows 95, right click on the
desktop, select Properties, and click on the settings tab.)
Question: The Blades of Exile screen colors are all bizarre! Answer: You
need to play Blades of Exile in 256 color mode. Run Blades of Exile, hit
F1 (for help), and read the section on troubleshooting to find out how to
get 256 colors on your screen.
Question: OK. I installed the game. It runs fine. It looks fine. But I
keep starving, if the monsters don't kill me first, and I don't have any
gold! Answer: Read the Hints For Getting Started section near the end of
the manual (hit F1 to get the manual).
Question: Sometimes, when I switch to another window and switch back to
Blades of Exile, the colors are all strange. Answer: One of the other
programs you're running is messing with Blades of Exile's color
management. Quit everything else you're using (including the fancy
front-end programs some computers come with) and try running Blades
again.
