View Full Version : Game locks up,now everyone moves FAST!

In Goblin Sanc. I leveled up fighting the guards wearing magic boots. After choosing my attribute, the game froze. After reboot, Everthing moves as if its wearing the boots. Dink moves even faster, and enemys fly at you. I keep running off screen trying to dodge. If i go to the esc. menu Everthing goes to the correct speed, but that does me no good. All my saves are affected, not just the one I was playing. Anyway to fix this, or do I need to start over?

I think what might have happened is your video card settings changed. Try checking it's properties and making sure "sync to refresh" is on and perhaps changing the refresh rate.

Dink has timing problems with not synced to the refresh rate. (it thinks it's going 800 FPS and freaks out due to crappy coding)

I dont see a synch to refresh toogle. I can change the refresh rate though. Its current seetting is "optimal". Any suggestions? I have no idea where to begin and Win98SE gave me a big 'ol warning about damaging my monitor.
Thanks for the speedy reply!

You might check your video cards driver to see if it has controls like that - for instance, NVidia cards have special settings in the video driver that allow refresh rate configurations.

Unfortunately I can't give better directions than that because each card implements this part differently.. http://www.rtsoft.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
