Slotty Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Ok... Imagine yourself having a 52x CD/DVD Drive... and when I earlier today tried to install this great game.. I get to the requirements.. 450kb/s transferrate.. sure... but NO! according to the installationprogram my CD-Drive is to slow. How come? and the Buffer thing should be 20/20 but I got 40/00.. but anyway.. can install it.. get sound and all Then.. when I try to start it. I come to the intro. then skipping it ( because of lagg and choppy sound ) The game just crashes to Windows.. It All started when I got another 512mb of ram.. could it be it? or should I get Win98 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 People have a lot of trouble running Apocalypse in XP in general. I think your best bet is Dosbox. Did you try to use compatibility mode by the way? You know, when you right click the Apocalypse .exe file and choose "Windows 98 mode" and so on.

Slotty Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yep.. tried to change but it didn't work.. the wierd thing is that I played it just less than 2 months ago.. on Xp and it worked fine. but now.. its totaly screwed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Strange. Did you add SP2 or something in the meantime? Maybe upgrade your graphics drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotty Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 hmmm.. SP2 yes.... don't you tell me that that could be it! well.. seems like im going to reinstal windows.. for the fouth time this year... starting with win98 Edit: Today when I tried to install.. it didn't say that my CD was to slow.. just that the file/buffer thing still wa 40/00.. it says I can fix it by changing the "Files=x" and "Buffer=x" in the config.sys... the problem is.. I cant find this file... wierd huh? Edit2: ok.. now I got the thing to work.. perfectly... so.. This case is closed Have fun whacking Anthropods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
