ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

You're welcome, but forgot to mention - rename the .zip files back when you're done.

Check <TOME install folder>\game\engines\te4-1.5.10.teae - rename this file extension to .zip and you should then be able to access the subfolder data\gfx\background - tome.png, tome2.png and tome3.png are the main game splash screens. There is also a "cards" subfolder with 8 more splash s...

Given that it is over a year since the last update, it surely can't be considered impatient to ask for a progress report...

...The proverbial camel-back-breaking straw that got me started on this was a test character that got blindsided in Reknor by AFAICT something invisible or stealthed that got literally four critical hits on me in a row, :evil: which is why I put all the lives after that... How about an alternative ...

It could just be that St. Nicholas got stuck in a chimney somewhere (or became intoxicated through excessive mince pie consumption) and some lucky non-ToMEr has your precious Prodigy points moldering on a mantelpiece somewhere...

Are you running any software that monitors/intercepts mouse actions (this can include macro software like AutoHotKey, Windows Terminal, touchpad and mouse drivers). If so, try disabling these (in the case of drivers which have to be present for the hardware to work, set them to as "default"...

Just to expand on Moasseman's reply, the expansions provide 3 types of content - once enabled and a game started with a new character: Content that is universally accessible - new magic items, dungeon features (e.g. demon statues if the Ashes of Urh'Rok expansion is active) and locations (the Occult...

If you've gained the Lich evolution, then this will - upon death - override the Blood of Life (you'll get a message saying this when you "die") so there are no downsides to drinking it.

One idea - try disabling TOME's network functionality (press Esc to get the game menu then Game Options/Online/Disable all connectivity). If this helps, then you either have something interfering with TOME's network traffic (overly aggressive anti-virus perhaps) or Dark God's server just hates your ...

The UI in TOME can be hidden using Alt-W which is handy for situations where enemies are hidden under toolbars. However it currently isn't possible to target anything with a talent when the UI is hidden except via the right-click menu (which itself gets unwieldy very quickly). It would be handy if a...

Although this doesn't help your current situation, the Adjustable Level-Up Mod does have an option to allow you to unlearn talents/categories and regain the points (plus getting rid of the level 50 cap and lots of other options). You have to activate it with a new character though - you can't apply ...

...I used to run the game years ago on worse hardware with no trouble, so I'm pretty sure that's not the issue here... I'd agree, having run ToME on a 15-year old notebook (1GHz Pentium III, ATI Radeon X200M Express) with only the loss of some graphics effects. If you can rule out hardware and othe...

Try installing Process Hacker or Process Explorer and, when a freeze happens, check these to see which processes (if any) are showing high CPU or disk I/O usage. It'll probably be t-engine.exe, but if it is anything else, then that could point to a software conflict. Have you tried running t-engine-...

For crashes or freezes, try changing compatibility settings (right-click on t-engine.exe, select Properties/Compatibility, tick the "Run in Compatibility Mode" box and set the Compatibility Mode to Windows 7 or Windows XP) - see Microsoft.com: Make older apps or programs compatible with Wi...
