Technical Issues
This readme is designed to help you if you are having problems with Legion
Arena. If in doubt, always ensure your drivers are up to date for your graphics
and sound hardware, as if either is out of date it often causes problems.
Updates for drivers are released on a regular basis, so if you have any
problems, check with your hardware manufacturer.
Problem : The game fails to start and I don't even see the intro movies.
Solution : Ensure you have Direct X installed and that the game disk is in the
CD drive. If it still does not work there may be a problem with playing the
movies on your machine and you can force the game to skip the intro movies by
deleting the "data\movies" folder. This data directory can be found inside the
directory you installed Legion Arena to.
Problem : The intro movie plays but I never get to the main menu.
Solution : There could be a problem with a sound card conflict. To turn the in
game sound off go to the directory you installed Legion Arena to. Inside you'll
see a data directory and in this is a user.txt file. This can be edited with
Notepad. open the user.txt file and add the following line at the end of the
file.
NoSound 1
This will disable the sound and should allow you to play normally.
Problem : The game runs fine until you get to the deployment screen for a
battle. At this point the background goes black and you don't see any terrain
during the battle. This could be caused by a display setting on your graphics
card. Some display utilities are almost impossible to override in game and we
need you to change the setting manually.
Solution : In your graphics cards settings and disable the antistrophic
filtering / antialiasing. Also ensure that you have the latest drivers for your
graphics cards as there are sometimes bugs in the initial drivers that it is
impossible for us to fix... honestly!
Problem : I cannot load or save games.
Solution : Check that your "Save Games" directory is in place. If not, create a
dir in the same location as the arena.exe and rename it to "Save Games". You
should then be able to load & save normally.
Problem : I cannot play multiplayer games over the Internet
Solution : Your firewall may be preventing Legion Arena from connecting to the
Gamespy servers. When Legion Arena attempts to connect a pop up window may
appear asking if you want to give the arena.exe permission to connect to the
Internet. You need to say yes to this. You may not be able to see the pop up as
the game is running in full screen mode. If you are unable to see any games
listed or other players in the lobby, Alt Tab from Legion Arena and check your
firewall has not popped up a warning message.
Problem : My game goes out of synch with my opponent in multiplayer
Solution : You must have exactly the same data & stats for all your squads for
games to stay in synch. If you have modified any data files you must ensure
your opponent is also using them. We'd recommend that you don’t use modified
data files for multiplayer!
