Can anyone help me? I'm in the final part of the game - well, I HOPE it's the final part. Well, I guess I better put some spoilers in ... Anyway, I'm nearly done with this thing, and as soon as "Nameless" is supposed to step forward and take the artifacts, I get the error "OUT OF FAR MEMORY" (hence my posting title). This has happened to me a few times before when I went into battle, and the net effect is to shut down the game. I was able to restore before but not now. I talked to SSI Tech Support and they (1) told me I didn't have enough RAM (OK, 1Mb on an SE, but what's wrong with that?), then (2) that the inits and cdevs that caused the problems were when I "installed" the game, not when I played it. Frankly, copying a program from a diskette to a hard disk is not an installation by any stretch of the imagination. Tech person (1) seemed completely bored by the whole thing, (2) was interested but I think I'm being bullshitted. I'm going to talk to them again today, but I'm disappointed. I made it through the crappy graphics for this? Can anyone help me with this, or is it common? I'm not a usual reader so I don't know. I think the most disappointing thing is the "ho,hum" attitude from SSI. They aren't interested in even looking at it! Allen
