Re: [thalion] Help on Dragonflight - Stuck on password

Hello Phil,

looks like I wrote my last post too enthusiasticly :(

Seems like dbugs's version of dragonflight have some real problems with Gadlon.
Every savegame I took while in this dungeon crashes the game, when load after a
cold reset.
Before a cold reset, loading these savegames tend to corrupt the dungeon layout.

I finally played through the dungeon using the memory snapshot function of my
emulator.
While this seems working fine (no layout anomalies at all), I am now unable to
leave Gadlon; everytime I try it the game crashes.

Loading a savegame before Gadlon works, but as soon as I enter it all problems
show up again and again.

I have tried just every combination of RAM size, disk caching, disk or hd
install and trainer options with no luck. Of course I tried re-downloading the
disk images.
My Emulator is Steem 3.2 on a Windows XP SP3, Antivirus Software turned off
(just in case ...)

Seems like I have yet to wait another 20 years for a working copy of this game
:(

best regards
Klaus
