Vampire problem

[Old Fecker]

At least you can install the game! Mine refuses point blank to even install, even when you do that XP workaround thing.

There is no fix for that. That's why I have save games under my Guides section.

The problem with deleting the __Current__ folder is that if you're in the middle of a Dungeon in SP, save, quit the game, delete __Current__ (so that MP will work), then go back to your SP save sometime later, enemies and items that were killed or taken will reset to the scene defaults.

It's a pain in the ass and affects my system regardless of Indexing Service running or not -- I'm still looking into workarounds that don't involve deleting __Current__ but haven't found any yet..


Edit:

Oh wait, I found the solution. 

Enabling the Indexing Service never fixed it for me, but apparently, just enabling and starting the indexing service isn't enough..

I enabled & started the service, then set the "Allow Indexing service to index..etc" property on my Drive E: (where Redemption is installed) (only for drive E:, not recursively) and the Redemption root directory (recursively).
After that, Redemption worked fine. 

The indexing service can be a resource hog, so I'd recommend to only allow it to index the Redemption directory (recursively) and disable it for all other drives and their subdirectories.

It is unfortunate that Indexing Service doesn't appear to be in Vista otherwise I would try that to my mom's machine.

That's odd..
When I get my hands on Vista I'll start the process again

Ok I looked into this problem a little more on my Mom's Vista computer and noticed that even though Vista doesn't have the Indexing Service in the Services list per-say, it does have the indexing property enabled by default on the VTMR folder, but I tend to wonder if this is the same Indexing Service used by XP or some altered Vista version of it, which Redemption cannot interpret.

I plan to install Vista on THIS computer tommorow *cringes*. I just hope the hot-fixes by NVidia fixed the performance issues with games running in Vista... I doudt it, but I'll know for sure soon enough...

I could install VTM:R on my vista laptop. But so far, the compadibility options in Vista seem to have a lots more effect then they had in XP.

Vista is only good as toy used by Vmware, Microsoft Virtual PC etc. But emulation of 3D graphic is problem, but for test its cost..

[Javokis]

I'll be going back to XP tonight. I'm already sick of Vista. It's making my motherboard sound weird. It's performance is rather tweaky all around. I haven't seen a computer that runs Vista well yet. Even these new computers at school run Vista kind of buggy.

What a crappy OS. If anything good comes from the SP1 that's coming out soon then maybe I'll consider putting Vista back in.

Geesh, im having the same issue again... and i forgot how i fixed it, so i had to come here and check what the hell i did to fix it haha... ok, i think i did turn index server off, so ill try enabling and run.

[EtaYorius]

Ok i found out wether you got enabled/disabled the Index Service in Services.msc it does not matter for Redemption, what you need to have enabled is the Enable is the "Allow Windows to Index..." in harddrive properties and have the check enabled, at least on my pc dosent matters if you got it on or off in services.msc.
