Cant leave first dungeon

[rpbraley868]

Hey guys, just started arena up again to try and finally complete it, but im having an issue. When i try to go out the starter dungeon, the copy protection questions pop up, but they have been asking things like "what is the casting cost of pointer1.dat?" or "what is the casting cost of ir?". Anyone know whats up with that? (i have the downloaded version so i cant bypass it using the cd)

To get past the switch gate you need to tell how much it costs to do a spell. Originally the arena instruction manual came with a spell book, check this out:

. I hope this helps. Your game seems to think that is a spell so you could try out the costs of all the spells until you find the right one or you could reinstall arena.

Thanks for that, its of use to my mage character, but i dont think that will work. After 2 attempted it kicks you out of the game so i dont get many tries. However i looked and i think i might just have to reinstall. Im guessing its an issue with the code it uses to call up the questions, because pointer1.dat is (im guessing) the file that controls what the cursor looks like. All the files it seems are coming straight from my games/Arena folder at random, instead of whatever file its supposed to read.
