Game freezes when background messages pop up

Post by Uebeltaeter »

Sometimes I download stuff in the background while playing DL. When the Windows downloader pops the message that the download is finished, Dungeon Lords freezes and I have to ctrl-alt-del it and restart. Anybody knows why that is?

Thanks!

That's just the way the game is. You can't alt-tab, either.

Thanks for the reply! I have the same problem with Gothic, so it also happens with newer games. I thought it might be some problem with the settings on my PC.

unfortunately DL takes a lot of memory to play if you notice when exiting the game it takes the system a while to catch up also the freezes in the game ive run into em alot in battles it really doesnt take a cad to unlock just stop what youre doining and wait usually im playing again in 10 to 30 seconds sometimes about a minute before it unlocks but ive never had to restart the pc to get the game goin again
