Technicle Support Question

Everytime I enter the Copper Coronet my game crashes. I have heard that I should try a uninstal/reinstal to fix this. Is it possible to replace the area file directly from the CD instead? If so which area file would I replace?

No, that isn't possible.

Have you tried going into the game's cache subdirectory, and deleting its contents?

Yes I have. I also tried to delete area 0400 files including A,B,C, & D, then replacing them with the files from cd 2. Are these the Slum disctrict and Copper Coronet files? Unfortunately I do not have administrator privileges available right now so I can't reinstall at this time.

Well, then, if you've successfully replaced game area files before, you know more than me. And if you know in advance the problem isn't the cache files, then I'll just ignore that piece of wisdom that has been posted here for precisely this problem in four previous threads. Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I guess this most be an installation problem. It will be very frustrating to attempt to play the game without going in to the Copper Coronet. I will not be able to get to Nalia's keep, the Slavery Compound, or the Windspear Hills. Plus I will miss out on some of the npc's that are inside.

Yes, those are the Slum District and Copper Coronet files. I too would have tried replacing them if all else failed, but if they were copied successfully from the CDs when you first installed the game, then it's not very likely they're corrupted, assuming that there's nothing wrong with your hard drive.

You didn't say whether you had tried deleting the files in your cache folder, but as Fable says, that usually clears up the kind of problem you have.

Good luck!
