i have a frien with this game but on his new computer it shuts it self of after a few minutes !

does any one have any tips on how to fix this ???

we think its related too windows xp because it ran relly good on his old computer.

he hasent patched his game because he doesent have internet on it.

but we tried on another friends computer *(exaktly the same model) and we had the same problem on it after patching

I don't know why the game crashes in your friends case but it has nothing to do with windows xp, I know cause I have it and it runs fine off of it.

XP will not run some DOS-based games, but Arcanum should run perfectly well. I've played it on an XP.

I've been running Arcanum on an XP system, and I haven't had any problems. Maybe there's something wrong with your copy of the game.

That could be a matter of driver updates or behind-the-scenes programs, grabbing memory and memory locations the game requires.

could be the graphics card.....the game looks like a drawing but it EATS the graphics memory...32megs minimum i'd say......

Or a problem with Direct X. My old Dell hated that, but my new machine is fine with it. Also, if he's hacked the files to use the stat-editor, he might have to reinstall.
