Wayrest: I've had no response from tech support on this, so I'll throw it open to the forums.

The 3-armed thing (Bara-something?) in the cantina in the huline village talks to Luther when he first enters. The speech is along the lines of "my reputation is so fearful that you've come to surrender to me?" At this point, and it sounds as though 3-arms has finished his speech, the game crashes to desktop with no error messages.

Has anyone else experiencd this or similar? Any ideas what might be causing it?

Thanks in advance.

Boeboe: Check http://www.gog.com/en/forum/lands_of_lore_series/memory_allocation_of_1309694_bytes_failed - this about the same problem ;)

Wayrest: Thanks. I don't really want to use someone else's saved game as I was really thorough up to this point and don't want to lose any items or sub-quests. I do have the original disks however, so I'll try playing past the crash using another install then switch back to the GoG version. I do remember that the original was virtually unplayable on a modern OS, because of codec problems I think.

I'm currently immersed in Anachronox though, so it'll have to wait for a while.

Jarkeld: Could do that for you if you want. Installing the win95 edition from CD took a bit of effort.

Arkray: I'm having the same exact problem. I tried changing every setting in the dosbox and lol options files with no luck.

jackal86: Wasn't this the solution? It's copied from a post in the link upthread:

This problem still persists, but I've found a workaround: You need to start the game with the parameter -LOWMEM, which will make it run in some kind of safe mode and prevent the crash. It did for me, at least.

To do this, edit the dosboxLOL2.conf (or dosboxLOL2_single.conf) file in the game's main directory. At the end of the file, under the section [autoexec], you need to change this line

lolg.exe -CD .

to this

lolg.exe -CD . -LOWMEM
(May look different in your configuration, but you really just need to add the parameter to this line.)

Once that's done start the game, load your savegame and do the part in the tavern. You can then save your game, remove the -LOWMEM parameter and continue playing normally. Note that the parameter also causes the game to set the graphical settings to the lowest possible, so you will need to reconfigure those afterwards.
