Error when starting the game

Post by Stego »

Hello

As soon as the program starts I get a division by zero message, and I can't continue in any way.

I attach a couple of screenshots.

Regards

Sorry about that. Please take a look at the second post in https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 0&t=406385 regarding how to install the game. You probably do not have the compatibility set to WinXP SP2. You also need to install the QuixleyLET fonts; see https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 1&t=280699. That should get you a clean install of v1.23.08 and then you can install the v1.26.04 update. I wish this could be more straightforward, but it's still better now with the new installer than it was before v1.23.08. Good luck. Enjoy!

I've intalled the v1.26.04 update and the QuixleyLET fonts. Anyway, that wasn't the problem. I read in another thread about the same error something regarding custom scaling of the screen, and since I had it set to 110% I set it to 100% and that fixed the error. Thanks for your quick response.

Ah, I had forgotten about that one. I'll add it to my troubleshooting list. Glad to see everything is working for you. Enjoy the game!
