Problem with Downloading??
« on: December 28, 2013, 06:24:21 pm »
Hi! Having gotten a new laptop, I really wanted to re-download this game onto it, have some good, nostalgic fun. But when I try and download it, something happens. It's hard to explain, but the file will download just fine, but when I try to open the file to download the game, it doesn't really do anything. And I tend to get stuck in an endless cycle of 'opening' and 'saving' files for the setup. That's what happens when I click on 'torrent' anyways. When i click on download, it sends me to the home page.
Essentially, I open the file with Internet Explorer, which pulls up the download tab with the option to 'save' or 'open'. Neither one do anything.
Any ideas? Is it just my computer?

Perhaps try downloading it with a different browser? I just tried to the download the setup with Internet Explorer and the same thing happened to me. So, that's an idea.

Using Firefox only opened a new tab wherein the same thing occurred. Downloading the patch worked just fine, though? But because it's only the patch, I guess it's not working. It downloaded, but there's no app to open it with anywhere.

Nu, the patch is no good on it's own. Maybe the anti-virus thing you've got is stopping the setup from downloading?

Maybe, but when it was originally downloaded on the family computer, it went along just fine. Both the family computer and my laptop use McAfee.

Try downloading the download instead.

Just right-click the link of the download, press 'Open in New tab'. Leave the new tab alone and just click the download link again. I guess it's a glitch now, or whatever it is, but all you've gotta do is click it again. :p Hope you understood what I meant.

When I try to open the game, it works perfectly fine. But when I choose a character, and go to a place other than the Lonely Cave, I only play for seconds or minutes, when all of a sudden it says something about a major error and that it needs to close. This really frustrates me as I love this game. I do have a Mac (just for a note) and maybe about a year or a year and a half ago, this wouldn't happen! ;~;
