[Size= 4][b]Technical Bugs[/size][/b]

Q: [b]I can't even install the game! CD 2 has some weird random problem![/b]
A: Yes, CD 2 is a weird weird person, err CD. You will unfortunately have to change your copy. Or try to install it in other computer.

Q: [b]I want to play. I insert CD 1 and it still tells me to inser the PK CD to play![/b]
A: The manual has a typo. It's CD 3 that you have to insert so you can play. Happy killing.

Q: [b]When I load the game from a checkpoint my game crashes![/b]
A: Make sure you don't hit a checkpoint while on demon morph mode. In most cases this is fatal and you'll have to start from an autosave.

Q: [b]All of my saved games are corrupt! I get an error while trying to load them![/b]
A: Using the 1.3 patch could be causing this error. If I am not wrong this patch makes corrupt saved games and corrupts the ones it also makes.

Q: [b]While playing the game it will randomaly(but not frequently) minimize and a dialog will appear with the options: Debug, retry, cancel.[/b]
A: That sometimes happens don't know why. It will randomaly happen sometime while playing. It isn't possible to fix it and you'll have to load from your last save.

Q: [b]When starting a new game and choosing "no" to the message that asks me if I want to start playing again without the money and tarot cards collected I select my difficulty and all. But some tarot cards are missing! Like I never got them![/b]
A: This happens. The only thing you can do is to load from your last autosave and then sign the pact again until the bug disappears and you have all of the tarot cards you collected.

Q: [b]The Enclave level never loads and freezes my PC![/b]
A: Some people had this problem and never managed to play that level and had to skip it. But some people managed to play it by setting their settings and res to the lowest in the video menu.

Q: [b]Abandoned Factory makes my PC crash when I demon morph! It makes getting the tarot card impossible.[/b]
A: Set your settings to the lowest possible. It works for some people.

Q: [b]I am having the same problem for the Babel level. It freezes my PC when loading![/b]
A: This can be fixed by putting your settings to the lowest possible(worst res, graphics, etc.).

Q: [b]My game is crashing to desktop! What can I do?[/b]
A: Nothing. You'll have to live with it. The good new's is that it will eventually stop happening.

[Size= 4][b]In-Game bugs[/size][/b]

Q: [b]I just started the game and I can't even move! Help![/b]
A: You can easily fix this by either restarting your PC, the game, or the level.

Q: [B]Flashlight won't work![/b]
A: Not a bug. Your card is too old to support pixel shader 2.0. No flashlight for you.

Q: [b]Sometimes when discovering a holy item I try to grab it but nothing happens![/b]
A: There's a poor collision detection with the holy items. Walk over them various times until you manage to grab it(you'll heard the holy item sound when this happens).

Q: [b]Enclave's an empty level! Huh?!?![/b]
A: Necrogiant should appear. But there's a bug where he doesn't appear and you're stuck in the level. Just load from the last autosave and start the level again. This bug also happens when you die against Necro and quickload from a quicksave in his level. Doing that will also make him disappear.

Q: [B]In the Swamp thing I can hear some...monster but I can't see anything![/b]
A: Most of the time this means that you have an old or crappy video card and that you should buy another one. But if it isn't that then try restarting the level.

Q: [B]In abandoned factory I can't destory some objects to get 5-stars![/b]
A: Yes, but the good news is that Dooguesgoober released a fix that well. Fixes this problem. It comes with powermad. The servers for the "stand-alone" version don't work anymore. You can download it along with Powermad 3.1(latest version so far) [URL=http://www.kalme.de/painkiller/files/Powermad-3.1.exe]here[/URL]. It has been scanned with Norton and Panda Antivirus so far. Just in case you're paranoid.

Q: [b]I am also having a similar problem in the ruins level. The ammo is embedded into the ground and I can't grab it![/b]
A: Yep. To fix that download [URL=http://dreamcatchergames.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20245]this fix[/URL].

Q: [b]In old monastery after I get all of those pentagrams I shoot the cross. It falls, but nothing happens.[/b]
A: You'll have to restart the level. It's a typical bug.

Q: [b]In old monastery. The underground section where there's a big gap I have to jump. I killed all enemies. But the battle music keeps playing, every door's closed and I don't see any enemies![/b]
A: It is either a bug or a really well hidden enemy. It happned to me and twice it was an hidden enemy that was hidding without doing anything. But some other people had this problem and it turned out to be a bug. So either restart the level or try to find the enemy.

Q: [b]The Greed card doesn't work![/b]
A: Yes, the greed card is broken there's nothing you can do about it. It's pretty much useless anyways.

Q: [b]While playing suddenly every enemy freezes and won't do anything![/b]
A: That's because you have Powermad installed. Powermad has a really weird and rare side effect where all enemies freeze. Just use the halt command to unfreeze them.
If you don't have Powermad then quicksave and quickload. The problem should have been fixed.

Q: [b]Your advices suck. Die[/b]
A: What do you expect me to do? Have sex with you until Painkiller gets another 90mb patch?  I'm doing the best I can.

[Size= 6][b]Battle out of Hell[/size][/b]

[Size= 4][b]Technical Bugs[/size][/b]

Q: [b]I installed it and it won't get recognized by Painkiller! There's no menu to start BooH![/b]
A: This happned to me. I reinstalled it twice and it worked

Q: [b]After installing BooH the original PK has tons of bugs! It kicks me back to desktop with an error in some levels, etc.[/b]
A: Unfortunately BooH makes PK have some new and dirty bugs in various levels. You can download a fix [URL=http://dreamcatcherinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23751]here[/URL].

Q: [b]BooH kicks me back to desktop! What the heck?[/b]
A: Live with it. It will sooner or later stop happening. It's a "comes and goes" problem.

Q: [b]It runs horrible! Why? I had no problems with the original! Is it a defective copy or what?[/B]
A: It isn't nor a bug or problem. Battle out of Hell has some new effects that old cards don't support, that's why. Try setting your settings to low or something similar.

[Size= 4][b]In-Game bugs[/size][/b]

Q: [b]In the orphanage level I get the shotgun and nothing happens. Why's that?[/b]
A: That's because you have to touch the end of the platform where you are standing to trigger the evil kids that will attack you. It's a mini-bug.

Q: [b]In the coliseum I can't get the card even if I morph into a demon 5 times![/b]
A: Yes, quite nasty bug. Kalme fixed it. Download the fix [URL=http://dreamcatcherinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23340]here[/URL].

Q: [b]In Stone Pit there's this holy item that when I get near it falls trough this statue.[/B]
A: You can find Kalme's fix [URL=http://dreamcatcherinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23563]here[/URL].
 
Q: [b]The enemies stop responding sometimes![/b]
A: Powermad strikes again. Powermad has a really weird and rare side effect where all enemies freeze. Just use the halt command to unfreeze them.
If you don't have Powermad installed then just quicksave and quickload. The problem should have been fixed.

[Size= 3]Thanks to:
DooguesGoober: For his fixes.
