Older games freeze on newer system...

[Leviathan]

Hiya,

I made games some years ago on The Games Factory, and they used to run just fine.

But nowadays, when I play them on newer computers, at some point some of the sounds start repeating themselves endlessly and the game pretty much freezes (movement is heavily lagged), and it remains this way until you exit the game. This ends up making all of my games unplayable :mad:

Why is that? Did this happen to anyone else? How can I resolve this problem? It never used to happen! And this has nothing to do with one computer in particular because it happens on all newer computers.

Help me! Thanks in advance

This is my first post but I'll do my best to help you out.
If you used the original Games Factory to make those games then it will have that problem on Windows XP or newer.
If you have the Games Factory 2 or Multimedia Fusion 2 try loading the games into one of those and re-save in their format, worked for me on some of those old klik games. Hope this helps...

Thanks. Yes I'm guessing it has to do with the newer version of Windows.

Unfortunately when I reload my old games in TGF2, most frames make the program lock up when I attempt to run them. I don't know why :/

If your old Games Factory games have certain extensions in them it may cause them to lock up when loaded into Games Factory 2. If you have one without extensions in it try that and see what you get. Also make sure Games Factory 2 is the latest version, that can fix a truck load of problems. As a further bit of help if extensions are a problem then copy your games factory extensions into the import folder inside the extension folder in the Games Factory 2 folder, from there systematically remove all traces of those extensions in your game and re-save it. Hope this is helpful to you.
