As a man, who read almost every Discworld novel, I say "Great game!". BUT when I played it some time ago, there was a bug: When Rincewind joined the ritual, the game started Act 3 and acted as it was Act 1. Is it in this version too?

Well, I still can't manage to save the game
The SAVE folder is already there when installed but even if I make new the saving isnt working...
Any idea?

I can't save either. Mine didn't start with a save folder, so I made one called SAVE and it didn't work. "save" didn't work either. I have it in the "DISCWLD" folder which was created after I installed it. I also have music, but no voices. I have the first sound option configured to Sondblaster Pro and the second as Soundblaster Pro, OPTL or something, since there wasen't just a plane Soundblaster Pro. I think the second option is the music(MIDI), so thats not a problem I doubt.

Hi! I was facing the same "saving" prob. But I found out the trick:
Install the game on the default folder (i think is dsworld or smth like it) and BEFORE running anything, create the folder "save" inside this diretory. then run the file DISC and configure sound and enjoy!
see ya

Hi Mike

Thanks for your response. I should explain (and apologise) for the fact that i am an entire idiot where it comes to technology. I have looked at the files and can find nothing matching what you say, which i am sure is my failing not yours!

I downloaded the games from bestoldgames. do I need to delete and start again from a different download? I would be very grateful if you could help this damsel in destress and post some step by step idiot proof directions from download to game working and saving.

Thanks again, sorry to be a pain
Hayley

I have posted about this game on futuremark and have such recieved a warning...



Dear NeilSouth,

You have received an infraction at Futuremark Forums.

http://www.futuremark.com/forum/showthread.php?p=206735

Reason:
-------
Promoting illegal software

Abandonware is still illegal. Only the copyright holder can release it as a free version.
-------

This infraction is worth 2 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.


:angry: :angry: :angry:

Can someone tell them that this site does not host illegal downloads?

I'm afraid that all the downloads on this site are illegal.
It's just that we can get away with it (most of the time) as the copyright holders don't care.
