Hi all,
I was able to run the game at least once or twice after following advices here. Not anymore after that, but thanks anyway, at least to see the game running after all the effort was nice.
But, final solution to my troubles was, when I cpukilled processor to exactly 72 or more percent. When less, game still crashed due to an error immediately after running the exe file.
Because I played the game no more than a few minutes, there still may be that "after-several-hours-crash-issue... But there may be not `-D.
So exact solution at my WinXP computer was:
Mark in antarar.exe properties win95 compatibility and forced 640x480 resolution. Then download cpukiller program (I used 1.0.5.4) and cpukill processor to about 500Mhz or even less. (With my AM2 X64 3800+ Athlon it meant to go from 2000Mhz to 500). Then after the game runs in strange colors switch back to windows alt+tab or ctrl+esc and back to Antara. This gains normal colors. The only trouble that remains is, the steps and turning movement in the game are still faster-than-nice. But fairly playable at least.
PS: Now I see - it seems that 500Mhz was about the most MHz you could get from computers at those days when Antara appeared...
