i was in the forest west of town, after i had saved moon's boy. the program was really slowing down, there was quite a lag between me clicking/keying to move and my motions. there was no slowdown in the rate of fire from the goblins arrow/javelin, however. anyhow, i finally chopped him, moved around a little bit, and whap- 'the program has unexpectedly quit due to a type 3 error'
bummer

hrm, no one else has reported crashes like this -- have you tried disabling extensions and/or giving PoG more memory?

Hi! I just got my regis code...wahoowa!!!
Anyhow, with an orig ibook, 288 meg ram, sys 9.2.1, what are the minimum extensions that i need? oh, and i've given PoG 140 megs or so.
Thanks!

Hrm. I've heard of this one, but I can't think of a good reason for it. How long were you playing for before it occured? I've noticed some memory leakage/game slowdown if you play for 1.5-2 hours straight. Try saving and restarting if you have issues with that.

i think it happened after only 30 minutes or so, and it was semi-repeatable in that while i didn't get the type 3 again it really did bog down on the particula r map.
------------------
1.5 to 2 hours? Don't you think that perhaps several of your buyers would perhaps play for times like, oh, 5-10 hours strait? Perhaps that should be fixed?
This sounds a lot like my TI-83 games I try to make; memory leakage for no apparent reason except that the calculator hates me unless I make a paint program as opposed to a game even though the basic "engine" if you want to call it that is about the same.
Sorry I am of no help...

Many people have played the game for a dozen hours straight. We do not know that this isn't a problem specific to his software setup.

Some of your personal exstensions might conflict with PoG. When I run out of memory, all my machine does is crash now, after I got rid of After Dark and other addons.

Were you on that map, 30 min into each new game?

I had just started playing (i was at work-maybe it was a subtle hint from the Big Guy?). Anyhoo, last night i bumped it up to 200 megs and had no trouble for the 5 hours or so i played it...other than from my wife, of course, but i really can't blame andrew for THAT...can i?
maybe there was something hanging out in my 'book's ram from all the other programs that i'd been using during the day...even though i had PoG running by itself i've found that whatever remnants are left in ram from vpc4.0 cause me all kinds o'grief...
i really enjoy this game. good work!

I think the real issue with Coldstone and crashes may be the version of CarbonLib you have installed. Please download the latest version of CarbonLib here:
