Stability Fix and Configuration in An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire

Stability Fix and Configuration in An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire

Want to stop those annoying crashes in Battlespire? Making a few tweaks can seriously improve stability. Here’s what to adjust:

Tune the SPIRE.CFG File

Find SPIRE.CFG, where you installed the game.
Edit these settings:
path to C:\
pathcd to D:\
bypass to 1
captions to 1
gamma to 1.0
OBJMEMSIZE to 3000
video to the Trio64 driver

Update the SPIRE.BAT Launcher

Right-click SPIRE.BAT, select Edit.
Replace everything with:
“`batch
@echo off
echo Let’s go, time for Battlespire!
set causeway=MAXMEM:63;PRE:40;NAME:spire.swp
:repgame
game spire.cfg %1
if exist rep.dat goto :repgame

exit
“`

I upped the MAXMEM to 63.

Tweak Two Config Files

Open bs.conf and bs_single.conf and make these specific changes:

“`ini

[sdl]
fullresolution=original
output=opengl

[render]

aspect=false
scaler=normal3x

[serial]
serial1=disabled
serial2=disabled
“`

“`ini
[ipx]
ipx=false

[autoexec]
@echo off
mount C: .. -freesize 1024
imgmount D: “../battlespire.ins” -t iso
C:

LH GAME.EXE
LH UVCONFIG.EXE
spire.bat
exit
“`

The LH lines load files into high memory. Sweet!

Follow those steps, and crashes are begone! Let me know if you still have issues.
