FOREVER WORLDS LOADS IN WIN98! - 04/15/04 01:28 PM
OK, here's the deal. I can hardly believe that this works.
I copied the ForeverWorlds folder to a different partition on my hard drive and then clicked on the ForeverWorlds.exe within the new Forever Worlds folder. (I did not, by the way, delete the original install of Forever Worlds.)
Guess what?
The game loaded!
I could save a game!
I could reload a game!
So what changed? Just this: Nothing in the Registry points to any of the Forever Worlds files anymore.
This would suggest that the game's initial loading problem (and maybe even the game save and reload problems) are tied the Registry settings of the game.
It's not DivX, it's not video drivers, it's not Windows Media Player. It's how the game wires itself into the Registry. DOH!
I'll fiddle a bit more with this to make sure it's not just a fluke. Still, worth trying if you've got the game and it hasn't run for you yet, no?
