Quest for Glory 4 freeze up

[Unknown,Unknown]

My brother is having a problem in QG4 when he tries to get the ritual in the swamp area.  When the wraith creatures are shooting at him, the game freezes up and quits with an error message.  Please let me know, anyone, if you have any information that would help out with that.  Thanx.

(re: Quest for Glory 4 freeze up) The problem is that modern computers are too fast for certain parts in old SCI-1 games, such as QFG4 and GK1. There are several Slow Down utilities available on the web, but there is but one that will get you past the dreaded Error 52/Swamp bug: CPU Killer, it’s available here;

Slow down your computer BEFORE you enter the swamp. Fight and kill the Chernovy, take the ritual, and leave the area.
On a side note; Something that is often mistaken for a bug in the Swamp area, is when the screen turns completely black after casting Reversal. This isn’t a bug, but a Darkness Spell cast by the chernovy. 🙂 In this case, cast Juggling Lights.

(re: Quest for Glory 4 freeze up) I’m always happy to help. 🙂
If the game still freezes when you use the tips I gave, you could also E-Mail your saved games to me, and I’ll take you past the bug.
