I need a new Cyber Snipa. Waiting to hear from them.

Maybe this question was asked and answered somewhere else so I am sorry if this is the wrong place. Got my new pc and loaded up the Hobbit and it acted funny. Finally it crashed with a note saying Meridian.exe had to shut down. I used to have a saved patch but not finding it I found two new ones and it says they are corrupt. I downloaded WinRAR 64 bit and it wouldn't open them. I want to play so baaad!!! Any ideas would be so appreciated.

Lotus, first I would suggest uninstalling the game and getting rid of those patches. They don't sound like they are legitimate ones. Then run CCleaner on both Windows and your registry to get rid of any traces of the game.

Then install the game again and this time, make note of the exact error message if it crashes again.

Then I would suggest posting over in the Tech Help forum. Jenny and Inland might be able to help you over there. I have never used a patch to play the game. I've played it on both XP and Windows 7.

Thanks Drac

Lotus

Thank you very much. I will do this shortly.

Let us know how you come out. I am playing it on XP with no patch.

Help I totally don't understand this part in A Warm Welcome. I am in the area where you have to use a thing with levers to move the platforms around. Haven't played for a couple of weeks and don't remember what the cut scene showed and even after looking at the w/t on gamefaqs I just don't get it. Draclvr, where are you?

Is this the one where the platforms are in the water? If it is, you moved the platforms so that you can get to the rooms with a door one at a time. When you can run to one room, you have to get there before the doors close. Then you come back to the levers and move the platforms around to get to the next one. I think there are three of them.

It seems to me I had to use the S and D or the arrow keys to move them...

I finished several weeks ago, but I have tons of saves, so I can go back and check stuff.

I did as you suggested and the game did work but now it won't save. I have Vista Home Premium but did compatibility for XP??? I will try this once more and do another clean install. I want to play it so badly! I had played to the horrible giant spiders after he found the lone guy by the campfire on my old pc and lost all of my saves....sucha drag.

Lotus, you remember that you can't save until you get to a Save Pedestal? I think this was my 5th time playing the game and sure enough, I tried to save without a pedestal. Couldn't figure it out until I had one of those "head-slapping" moments and called myself something unpleasant!! The phrase, "You big dummy!" comes to mind...

Har, har, har. Uh, not really.

Great lunch Drac. Had lots of fun. Good conversation too.

It was, wasn't it! Hope you get your CyberSnipa tomorrow. After all, you have Minions to kill and (really big) spiders to battle!

If you decide to give up, I can always send you a save...

I'm back.

Never say never. <gulp>

Hope it comes in today.

I need to work on the platforms/doors area before I totally get distracted by Bioshock.
