Freezing Problems
« on: December 08, 2006, 05:45:00 pm »
I have Windows XP and quite often the game freezes...especially if I don't run it in full screen mode. Can someone give me some help?

Thanks in advance

Don't use other programs at the same time - particularly ones that eat memory.  My game will freeze for a bit if I leave it and go do something else, leaving it running in the background.

Try lowering your screen resolution.  This reduces the screen memory required.

Actually, this game is not very demanding in the whole graphics area.  It just gobbles up your processor since there are so many things done in a single step.
