 Frequently Asked Questions These links may be useful to you: • Problem: the game crashes (or otherwise behaves strangely) First, from within Leylines, load the saved game 'autosave'. This should put you back before the bad stuff happened. Now, see if it happens again. Do NOT press end turn, or the autosave will be overwritten. If it happens again, quit. Rename the autosave.ley file to something more descriptive (i.e. 'crash if scout moves north.ley') and mail it to me. That way I can fix the bug. Thank you. If the bug doesn't appear again, well, just play on I guess. If you have a reasonable idea what happened, I'd be grateful if you mailed me the details. But vague messages like 'sometimes when I click on the map, the game hangs' are not helpful and will be ignored. • Problem: task switching crashes the game I'm fully aware of that. Unfortunately, microsof doesn't have a faq for what to do if a program seems to interfere with their task switcher, because they believe it to be infallible. In other words I haven't been able to fix the bug for lack of good documentation on the windows core. Sorry. • Problem: the game is too slow From the configure option, try setting details and hi-res to off, and try setting the gamespeed option way up. Also make sure you don't have another time-intensive application running in the background. Under Linux, it may help if you reboot your X-Windows system in 16-bit mode rather than 24. Also you may want to try full screen mode instead of windowed mode; in this case, find the file 'leylines.ini' and change the line 'FullScn:0' in it to 'FullScn:1'. • Problem: the display messes up On some computers the screen may go blank when trying to start Leylines, or it may have a double or quadruple distorted image of the game screen. This should only happen on old monitors that do not support the resolution Leylines is trying to use. You should try setting the game to low resolution: double-click on your Leylines\Data\Leylines.ini file, find the line that reads 'HiRes:1' and change that to 'HiRes:0'. The minimum resolution is 800x600. • Problem: the game is too difficult! • Problem: unit [x] is useless or overpowered! • Problem: why isn't there a spell that does [x]? And similar stuff. Please post it to the message forum (there's a link at the top of this document) and discuss it there. I do read the forum myself. And some discussion with other players would probably be nice. Enjoy the game! - Radiant |
