-
- TROUBLESHOOTING:
-
- The information below should solve many of your problems installing
- or running Exile III: Ruined World...
-
- Question: Exile III 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 Exile III again. If this
- doesn't work, contact SpidWeb@spidweb.com.
-
- Question: Exile III crashes sometimes for no reason!
- Answer: Several steps to try, which will eliminate many problems.
- 1. Select Preferences from the Options menu. Select Fewer Sounds. If
- this doesn't help, turn off sounds. This will fix most problems.
- 2. Run Exile III with no other programs running.
- 3. Make sure you have 3 megabytes of free RAM.
-
- Question: I get crashes when targeting a spell or missile, and nothing
- helps!
- Answer: Select Preferences from the Options menu. Select No Targeting
- Line.
-
- Question: The Exile III 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 Exile III screen colors are all bizarre!
- Answer: You need to play Exile III in 256 color mode. Run Exile III,
- 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 Exile III, the colors are all strange.
- Answer: One of the other programs you're running is messing with Exile
- III's color management. Quit everything else you're using (including the
- fancy front-end programs some computers come with) and try running Exile
- III again.
