hi guys i've heard you're making a 1.7 patch a i was wondering if you can fix this: when i was playing with 1.12 patch i could play the game at the high details almost but now installed the 1.6 i must play it at the lowest details and it still lags..........and the loading time is soooooooooo long I had a game loaded with 1.12 patch in 1 minute now i have to wait 6-7 minutes to get the game loaded can you fix this in 1.7 please and one more thing if i play it at 1280x1024 (which is my screen resolution) it crashes after 5 minutes i play the game, but when i play the game on lower resolution it won't crash. Can you please tell me what's wrong?

Welcome here

Obviously, the high setting is more demanding on the memory, etc. So the chances for a crash are much higher. Try with medium details or customize your own.

Did you start a new game after applying 1.6 or you continued a save made with 1.12?

Give us some details: What windows do you use? What video card? How much RAM?

[Gorn the destroyer]

Well yeah i started a new game after i installed the patch.....i use windows xp with service pack 2, the video card is Radeon X1600, and 1GB RAM, Intel Pentium IV dual core 1.5 Ghz....i hope i didn't forgot something

and 1GB RAM

G3 is kinda RAM hungry, I mean 1GB is not enough for high textures, etc.

well i tought about buying a new RAM anyway

Edit:
ok, i tried to pllay the game again with starting a new game with the 1.6 patch on these details : distance (high details) : medium
distance (low details) : high
object detail : medium
resource cache : high
texture filtering : linear
shadows : off
vegetation : low
texture quality : high
post processing : overglow effect + depth of field
and it didn't lag only a little, played it for an hour with the 1280x1024 resoultion and it didn't crash hope it will stay that way

Glad to hear it works. Remember, save often and in different slots.

yeah you can be sure i will and i discovered that with this patch you can find recipes for potions in chests (or at least i found one for healing potion in a chest near the alchemist's bench in ardea) that's a relief don't have to buy them anymore

well maybe your computer is too strong enough my friend installed some game i don't know what was its name, but when he installed it, it showed him an error: your hardware requirements are too strong enough for this game

I think that's a bug with the text. What patch do you have? Do you have Vista?
