by the way, the Graphics will reset to the original graphics after you exit the game....i found this odd. is there a way to keep the graphics as is without having too Reinstall them again? just wondering

This involves config editing manualy. To find your config file (config.ini) go to your darkspace directory (where you installed it) and open config.ini in notepad (or other text editor)...
Find BOTH OF THE LINES "DoUpdate=1". Set these to "DoUpdate=0". There is one under [GCQL] and one under [CLIENT], you will see what I mean. Then save and exit config.ini.
Now the following part you can chose to do or not...It is purely for saving time and to stop annoyance. Word of warning, doing this will not allow you to change your emotes unless you revert the changes. The game automaticly changes doupdate=0 to 1 when the game is closed after you have started it, which means next time you start the game, it will update. You can stop this by setting your config.ini to READ ONLY. Right click on the file, chose properties, and TICK read only, and hit ok. Your game will then never update again (unless you click update). You can undo this at any time by unticking read only and hitting ok.
Now load up the game and enjoy.

I forgot that I ever had this installed. Maybe thats another reason why I don't get as much lag as other people...

Daimen, you must have a P1, 166mhz with a 4mb graphics card if you can't handle those...
Either way, link fixed.
