Please only post problems with your Pontifex II game.  Do not post problems with level solutions.  Make sure you read the readme.txt that is included with the game and have updated Pontifex II to version 1.2 before posting any problems.

------------------------------------------------
Notice about any problems with Pontifex II
------------------------------------------------
Pontifex II requires a video card with full OpenGL support.  99% of all problems experienced with Pontifex II are because of video drivers.  WindowsXP does not install OpenGL drivers.  If Pontifex II is not working correctly, running very slowly, exiting or crashing at new screens, or the mouse is very jerky You need to install video drivers from your video card install CD, or even better download the latest drivers from your video card manufacturers web site.

------------------------------------------------
System Requirements
------------------------------------------------
Minimum:
500+ Mhz CPU, 64 MB RAM, Windows 95/98/2000/Me, Linux,
OpenGL video card

------------------------------------------------
Video Cards
------------------------------------------------
Please use the newest available video card drivers for your system.  Please make sure your video card supports OpenGL.

------------------------------------------------
Pontifex II Performance
------------------------------------------------
If you discover low display frame rates while running Pontifex II, try to reduce the detail level to low and/or make sure all the video options are turned off (lighting, reflect, shadows). You can find these options on the right side of the simulation screen in the game.  If Pontifex II is still running slowly, you can press F6 to greatly reduce the graphics.  This should improve performance.

The lights are in Pontifex II  v1.1 btw http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

The extra levels are designed to be weird and different, taking the bridges to the extreme.  This can cause difficulties with the trains or cars, that's part of the challenge.

Josiah

Doh extra08 is bugged as well, phases set to 0, they should be set to 1, will have to patch that soon.

Josiah

hahaha, dont worry I saw it, Pontifex II levels will be different then Pontifex levels, could they be converted? We will see.

Josiah

Because of the large differance in Pontifex and Pontifex II levels we dont have any plans to make a converter.  The Pontifex levels would probably not work at all because the joints are so different.

Josiah

You said you re-installed your graphics drivers but you are using the same ones as before?  The problem probably has to do with the graphics drivers, you sure these new ones have OpenGL drivers?

Josiah

Which level are you having this problem on?

E-mails have been sent out to all pre-orders with download instructions, if you did not get an e-mail please contact me.  People with e-mail at hotmail and yahoo seem to have a problem recieving our e-mails sometimes.

Thanks,

Josiah

I will think about setting up the ordering system.  To update you on the status of Pontifex II, today the whole team went over the final version and figured out a few things that needed to be fixed up before release so that is what we are doing.  It will be done soon though.

Josiah

Pontifex II should be released this week.  We have switch our web host and that is why the forum is a little messed up.  We are working on fixing that as well.

Thanks,

Josiah

I have been using Trillian for IRC as well, it seems to work good enough.  Its nice to have one program run all your IM's.
