Hi all wave - I recently got this game from Steam and I had no issues with it until well into Chapter 2. The game just freezes. I can move the mouse - I can also hear the background music but I cannot click out of the scene or close the game. Only option is to kill the process in task manager. The game autosaves and I save often but it is getting to be a big annoyance.

I noticed that it freezes mostly when I examine the Napkin Map for the Radio.

I just purchased the game so I am guessing any patches were included in the package - I don't see patch downloads for it.

Has anyone else experienced this? I tried a playing in window instead of full screen and get the same issue.

My PC has much more power and resources than the minimum requirements too.

duh

Hi sureshot, I'll move this thread across to Glitches where I'm sure you'll get helpful advice. luck

There's a couple of threads on the Steam discussion forums where people are talking about freezes with this game. One suggestion to fix it was this:

Quote:
I've read another topic where a guy suggested to raise the memory of Flash Player to 1Mb. I raised it to 10Mb and seems like it solved the problem.

From the game: RMB, settings, third tab from left (memory settings).


I don't know if this fix is universal for all players, though.

Thank you Marian - actually what I did was make a drawing of the napkin so I didn't have to see it in inventory. I was able to continue with no freeze issue. I bet if I would have followed your response - that might have fixed it too. But I am continuing on. It's a weird kinda game, but interesting.

Thank you again.

Glad you found a workaround. Hopefully there won't be any more freezes. wave

Well - I continued to have freeze issues - my workaround didn't last too long ! smashpc

I logged onto to Steam's Community Forum and discovered that I was not alone so I asked the developer for some help. I got an immediate response from him and was advised to try this..... While in game, hit the "m" key on my keyboard which will disable the background music. think

I did just that and have had no freeze issues at all. I even went back to replay the sections that gave me the problem and did not experience an issue! bravo

Ok, so the mood of the game changes slightly - but I am continuing on without a freeze and hardly noticing the missing background noise. thumbsup

If anyone is having the freeze issue, muting the background music by hitting the "m" key may help you too.

Happy Gaming ! wave
