OK, I extracted the *.arc files, even the audio files, and the game still crashes when I run it.

How do I force the game to use the extracted files and not those inside the archives? Should I delete the *.arc files?

hi their,

i have used the following batch file - this extracts the arcs to the right folder und renames the arc files - when you extract the arc files in the resource folder it will f**k up the game:

simply create a batch file, in the TQ main folder, with the following content ("C:\Spiele\Titan Quest" must be changed to match your game path):

archivetool resources\Fonts.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Fonts"
rename resources\Fonts.arc Fonts.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Creatures.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Creatures"
rename resources\Creatures.arc Creatures.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Effects.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Effects"
rename resources\Effects.arc Effects.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\InGameUI.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\InGameUI"
rename resources\InGameUI.arc InGameUI.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Items.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Items"
rename resources\Items.arc Items.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Levels.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Levels"
rename resources\Levels.arc Levels.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Lights.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Lights"
rename resources\Lights.arc Lights.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Menu.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Menu"
rename resources\Menu.arc Menu.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\OutGameElements.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\OutGameElements"
rename resources\OutGameElements.arc OutGameElements.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Particles.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Particles"
rename resources\Particles.arc Particles.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Quests.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Quests"
rename resources\Quests.arc Quests.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\SceneryBabylon.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\SceneryBabylon"
rename resources\SceneryBabylon.arc SceneryBabylon.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\SceneryEgypt.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\SceneryEgypt"
rename resources\SceneryEgypt.arc SceneryEgypt.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\SceneryGreece.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\SceneryGreece"
rename resources\SceneryGreece.arc SceneryGreece.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\SceneryOlympus.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\SceneryOlympus"
rename resources\SceneryOlympus.arc SceneryOlympus.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\SceneryOrient.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\SceneryOrient"
rename resources\SceneryOrient.arc SceneryOrient.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Shaders.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Shaders"
rename resources\Shaders.arc Shaders.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\System.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\System"
rename resources\System.arc System.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\TerrainTextures.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\TerrainTextures"
rename resources\TerrainTextures.arc TerrainTextures.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\UI.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\UI"
rename resources\UI.arc UI.arc.tmp

archivetool resources\Underground.arc -extract "C:\Spiele\Titan Quest\Underground"
rename resources\Underground.arc Underground.arc.tmp

if you dont have a dual core cpu you can try the following:

open the options.txt in the my documents/my games/titan quest/settings folder and alter this:

forceSingleProcessorMode = false
to
forceSingleProcessorMode = true


but i would wait for tha upcoming patch, i hope it fixes this random crash problem.

And what about the *.arc files in the Audio folder? Where do I extract them? Should I creat separate "Music", "Sound" etc. folders?

[casio]

dont know, haven't ever extractet them.

[hyena]

Yeah, I extracted them all, and guess what....it doesn't help. The game crashes just as it crashed before.
