Hey there!

Sadly, game crashes quite often and seems it does it at random intervals.. I might have noticed that the ones occuring now are happening earlier from starting the game than the ones I had the first few days. Then it crashed ~ every 1.5 hrs, now it does it 10-20mins after I start game.

I have the experimental high-res patch installed aswell, but I don't think it has anything to do with this problem.

Is there a solution I couldn't find yet to avoid these crashes, or I have to live with this? What might cause this anyway?

Thanks for the replies!

The highres patch is unstable. If you remove it you shouldn't have any crashes, but the patch does fix some timing things, so there will be other problems :)

I've been experiencing the same issue as renthicya even before I applied the high-res patch, so I don't think that's the problem.

I'm running on Win 7 Pro x64, and I can't play more than ~30 min or so of Outcast before I start to experience significant slow downs in the framerate. If I keep playing even after the slowdown starts to get back, OC3.exe will crash.

I've made a thread on this forum discussing the issue, but no answer has emerged even after months.

A few weeks ago, I sent an email to GOG support. I've received no reply to it, either.

I'm guessing this issue isn't going to get fixed :/
