735.0. "DM PROBLEM" by BREW11::LANE (�vi� D��d II...D��d ߥ D�wn) Fri Jan 12 1990 12:22

    Hi,
    	After running Dungeon master or Chaos on my MegaST2 for about
    an hour the program locks up in as much that you can move around
    but doors won't open and when you throw something it just hangs
    in the air in front of you . After a minute or so the system locks
    up with SYSTEM ERROR 60 displayed at the top of the screen. Has
    anyone else seen this or is it just my machine?

    I may be mistaken, but I think this is part of there copy protection. 
    I tried two different copy programs and after running for about one
    hour I got the same symtoms you discribe.  I've run my origials for two
    or three hours with no problem.

    The problem I get with my backup (ahem!) is that after a while the
    game freezes ("Game frozen" message). I have to click to restart.
    After this has happened about three times my characters all die without
    warning.
    I have found that I can avoid this sudden death by saving and
    restarting after the first freeze.
    Does anybody have a trouble-free backup copy?
    
    Adam.

    	I had the same problems running on a backup of dungeon master,but
    have used the original to get as far as level 12 without any problems.
    
    	On level 12 my save game disk got corrupted,so I started again
    but this time using a Blitz copy.I have completed the game without
    any problems.  
    	
    	(I used Blitz for backup only,the people who wrote Dungeon Master
    deserve the financial reward,and incentive for the best program
    on the ST)
    
    	Chaos strikes back,-the origional exibits these problems.
    	
    	I believe they have gone to far with the copy protection,so
    that even the original is hard to read unless your drive is perfectly
    alighned.
