RTC V0.36

Helloooooo I'm new to these parts although I have been using RTC since about July ish last year. It's a great port and you've done a brilliant job except I downloaded V0.35 yesterday and now I can't really play it any more as the sound dies which makes the game go funny (monsters and doors appear as big black boxes and scrolls are un-readable) when I come out of the game my desktop is perminantly set to 640x480 and can't be changed unless I restart.

I used to get windows errors but they seem to have stopped now.

I tried to switch back to V0.34 but my save game won't work and I have got pretty far on from my V0.34 save and don't really want to have to do it all over again.

Is there anything you can advise me to do?? or will you be realsing V0.36 soon or perhaps even V0.351?? as I notice a few other people are having the same problems.

Thanks for your help

V0.36 will probably be out within the next week (i.e. before the end of March) - hope that's not too long a wait for you!

In the mean time, you can keep going with V0.35, but make sure you exit and restart RTC about once every 20 mins or so to avoid the bug you mention...

yeah that's cool, I'll have to try to manage lol. I have just been getting into it again, I got stuck on the floor below the tomb of the firestaff as I couldn't find a key that was in the middle of the room somewhere so I eventually consulted the adventurers handbook and found it (that's the only time I've used it so far though) so now I'm not stuck I want to play but can't :'(

good plan with the restarting thing although it's a bit random as to when it decides to do it on my computer, I'm thinking it might be something to do with my sound card, I've been having problems for ages now but have just let it get on with it, but when I tried to play F.E.A.R today as DM wouldn't work one of the sound options I've been using for ages wouldn't work any more GRRRRR need to change PCI slot and uninstall everything I think....... that'll be an unpleasent job to do tomorrow....... although I spose it'll keep me busy until the new version is out.

Thanks again

No SpEEdO, it has nothing to do with your sound card, no need to open your machine. If the sound bug occures, I advise to IMMEDIATELY shut down RTC via Alt+F4 and then restart your machine. This means you should definitely save often. If you don't restart after the sound bug, other programs may have problems, too.

no I knew it wasn't but I thought that might be helping it break. It turns out F.E.A.R works fine but because I've got 5.1 and my front speakers and sub's plug some how managed to make it's way out the extention lead so they didn't have any power I wasn't getting any proper gun noises.

All fixed now though and I eagerly await V0.36
