- There is an insidious bug in Wiz 7, near the endgame,
- where the screen freezes for about 20s, every 10 moves or
- so. You will spend about 90% of your time waiting for
- the screen to unfreeze. I've just talked with the Tech
- Support at Sir Tech, to confirm the bug, and to find a
- solution.

- Spoiler
- -------
-
- This bug only occur when you have
-
- (1) gathered at least the following maps (sphinx, serpent,
- boat and temple)
- (2) met a lot of NPCs but have not killed them.
-
- The game freezes, because it is trying to compute methods in
- which each of these NPC can obtain the maps.... and is taking
- up a lot of computational time.
-
-
- Solutions :
-
- There are 3 possible ways to circumvent the freeze :
- (a) get rid of the maps after you've solve them
- (b) kill the NPCs that are following you
- (c) get a patch disk from Sir Tech (1-315-393-6633)
