Hi, this is a long shot given that this is an old PC RPG game.

I'm using the latest patch with the cararcanum mod.

Every so often the game freezes totally. I have to do a soft reset of the computer. (this is different from the arcanum bug where it would freeze during combat : hitting space bar a couple of times fixes that)


I'm at a loss to see whats causing this.

I dont think its the psu (just recently replaced it)
All relevant background apps have been switched off
Latest nvidia graphics drivers 8198 (i think)
Ive also tried turning down sound hardware acceleration to the lowest point.

system is

Windows XP
AMD64 3500
2 gig ram
nvidia 6600 GT

When i get home from work ill try uninstalling it then patch to 1074 and try it without the mod installed.

And ill also try leaving the cover off the pc in case the problem is related to heat/air distribution of the case. (which is strange because i have setup the cpu/graphics card to warn me if they get too hot)

Would appreciate help because this is a class rpg. One that i missed the first time round. (one of the things i love about it is theres hardly any loading! the environment is one big massive seamless world not your BG style of boxed rooms that have to load each time you enter)

thanks folks, just recently found this website.
