Alright considering many of the posts I've read I've gotten off fine for the most part. The game runs just like I remember it back when I originally had it back on windows 98 (still have the disc heh) however I am stuck.
I've made it through the begining bit of the game and I've just told the king about the attacks on his dudes in the out post and how they got rocked. Now I gotta head back out of the castle and do whatever the heck the king asked me to do involving the trolls (it's been two weeks since I last played I just came back after leaving and getting frustrated with it). But... (there's always a but) I can not seem to load the city now. It loads to full and I'll just catch the start of the ambient sound for the town itself then bam, crash to desktop.
Alright so it just so happened that I tried it while typing this up to see if there was an error message and it loaded. I saved afterwards outside the castle so I can inch forward in the game. However I loaded the previous game again to see if it would load again it did not, it would appear a fluke that I got out of there. I'd like to know if there is something I can do about it in case I encounter this issue again at some future point in the game.
I've turned off bump mapping and anti-aliasing, dropped resolutation, etc. and none of it seems to have any effect on the random outcome of it. Annoyingly this is why I bought it from GoG hoping the 1.19 patch would have done something as this was the issue I was having running 1.17 on this system:
Vista 64bit, Geforce 9500 GS, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU if it's of any relevance.
Side note I have tried affiliatign the game with a single processor however Ctrl-Alt-Deleting while the application is running seems to end arx fatalis entirely and it is no longer running by the time he task manage shows up. Strange.
