- the Roman Empire. You can play a band of Roman soldiers determined to
- keep order, or a group of Celtic tribesman striving to win their
- freedom. It's like two games in one, and you get to experience both
- sides of the fascinating storyline!
-
- Should you run into any trouble playing Nethergate, don't hesitate to
- E-mail us at spidweb@spidweb.com or call us at (206) 789-4438. You can

-
- >>> Troubleshooting <<<
-
- Should you experience trouble with Nethergate crashing or with
- odd behavior such as static in sounds or graphics, contact the creators a
- t
- the address above. First, however, there are several ways you might be
- able to make the problem go away.
-
- Question: Nethergate refuses to install!
- Answer: First, make sure you have 20 megabytes of free space on the
- drive you're trying to install to. Then reboot, make sure no other
- programs are running, and try installing Nethergate again. If this
- doesn't work, your download may be corrupted. Try redownloading.
-
- Question: Nethergate crashes sometimes for no reason!
- Answer: Several steps to try, which will eliminate many problems.
- 1. Sometimes files can become corrupted. If you have a lot of recurring
- troubles and crashes, redownloading and reinstalling the game might help,
-
- especially if a crash started happening after a long period of no problem
- s.
- 2. Get the latest sound and graphics drivers for your computer. These
- can almost always be found at the web site for your computer's
- manufacturer.
- 3. Select Preferences from the File menu, and turn off sound effects.
- This will fix some problems.
- 4. Run Nethergate with no other programs running.
- 5. Make sure you have 8 megabytes of free RAM.
- 6. Play Nethergate in 16 bit color. To get 16-bit color, right click on
- the desktop, select Properties, and click on the Settings tab.
-
- Question: The Nethergate screen is really tiny!
- Answer: Right click on the desktop, select Properties, and click
- on the Settings tab. Select a different screen resolution. 800x600
- resoluation is recommended.
-
- Question: The Nethergate screen colors are all bizarre!
- Answer: You need to play Nethergate in at least 16-bit color mode.
- To get 16-bit color, right click on
- the desktop, select Properties, and click on the Settings tab.
-
- Question: OK. I installed the game. It runs fine. It looks fine. But I
- keep starving, if the monsters don't kill me first, and I don't have any
- gold!
- Answer: Read the Neginner's Tutorial section near the end of the
- manual (run the game hit F1 to get the manual).
-
- These steps will solve most problems you encounter. If none of these
- things help, please let us know! If there are any bugs left, we want to
- squish them! Typo reports are welcome too!
