Oldish Patrician 3 player returning
Just wondering, if any of you guys still play the older Patrician 3 (expansion for Patrician 2 outside of the US), and if it's ok for me to post threads about it, rather than IV (I have the game but it runs terribly on my computer, even though it can run stuff like Starcraft 2 >.> )

I also see a lot of igns from the Tavern Side Index... such a long time ago =o

RE: Oldish Patrician 3 player returning
what's your specific problem with Patrician 4?
Probably we could help to let it run smoother...a DXDiag would also help.

RE: Oldish Patrician 3 player returning
Don't really remember.... my game CD is currently about 80 miles away from me (I'm a college student), and I don't have it installed right now. So any help with running it would have to wait a week for me to get the CD =/ (Thanks for asking though)

But, I've played a lot of high gfx games and I can handle playing with really low framerates, (like, 15-20 fps), but I couldn't stand running Patrician 4 for more than like, 30 seconds.... I do remember setting it to lower resolutions and puttings settings on lowest but that didn't help.

in any case I'm going to assume that Patrician 3 topics are allowable =D
I've been really annoyed playing on my own ever since Tavern Side Index went down for some reason.

If you have P3 installed again and problems to solve or questions about the gameplay visit:

patrizierforum.net english section for P3

There are some people who will help, including me.

The .DLLs go in to the installation folder with the .EXEs
Link MAPEDITOR

Yes - this is the Englsih version. DVM.DLL shoudl be in the install folder.

If you can do a directory listing, including sub directories of what is in folder ........\PATRICIAN 3 - then I can compare it with waht I have.

RE: Oldish Patrician 3 player returning
This 1275 error is possibly a copy protection error. Your best bet is to uninstall and then to a reinstall of the game. Then try running it in COMPATIBILITY MODE. Check that this installs everything including "mapeditor.exe"

EDIT,

When you have do a Directory listing of the install directory.

Interesting - can you :-
I assume that this is a "Optical Media" installation? Then please could you :-
Post a screen shot of the error and a directory listing of the install directory.
