I like to grapple only when I am in the Birds Eye automap view (hit tab), it seems to create less problem than otherwise. Grapple and sometimes being sent to prison (by Blackthorn or by the Judge Dryden ) seem to cause the game to crash.
Lazarus daemon stop plus#
Ships never disappeared in my game, but I have heard that happening, plus if you leave your ship somewhere unreachable and use a gate scroll to teleport out, you may never be able to get back, so dont leave key items and companions on your ship ever. Save before you ask them to leave, and never ask your favorite companion to leave. Someone suggested killing them and stash the body somewhere, my advice is, always leave them in the vicinity of the moongate, in my game they never disappeared.Īvoid monster-spawning areas and populated areas (in towns and castles). You do not want to leave them with key items. Your companion may disappear permanently when you leave them, I have run into that once.

The first thing you want to do is maybe set the combat to easy (from the options menu), that helps, and if you already did that in the start menu, you may have to do it again just to be sure (it didnt work for me).Ĭombat is hard in the beginning especially when the Avatar is weak. It handles the command-line and decides what to do when the application is started, depending on the command-line options given to the application, by calling the various methods. Lazarus is a hard game, so you will want to save often even if not for the bugs. Description TCustomDaemonApplicationis a TCustomApplicationdescendent which is the main application instance for a daemon. It crashes often and sometimes the frame rate will slow to a crawl (providing that you dont have a state-of-art computer), yet, as far as I remember, it crashed less than Ultima IX, and my items never disappeared like it had with Ultima VII, so for a fan-made game, they got my appreciation. Lazarus, not unlike the newer graphic intensive Ultimas, are not without flaws. Use your quicksave(F9) as often as possible, but not as the only save, also save on different files. Quest related keywords can only be unlocked after certain quests, you can no longer ask for the grapple before you unlock the quest, and you cannot use Word of Power freely. No moon orbs for grabs for instant planting teleportation to selected places.

No magic carpet and horse riding in the game, also no naval battles with cannons and such (due to the limitation of the DS engine). Not all monsters respawn, only the critters, and they respawn based on time passed, so no walking off the edge off the screen and coming back with more bandits like in Ultima 7.
Lazarus daemon stop update#
Recommended things to do are, dont run other programs while running Lazarus, defragment your hard drive before running lazarus, turn off shadows and keep objects detail to a minimal, update your video driver, turn off music (though not recommended by me because music, well is one of the highlights in this game), if nothing works, contact tech support at the Lazarus Forums (they seem to respond fairly quickly).īattles are real-time and the game feels more like Utlima 7 meets Diablo, no more dual-scale maps.
