I'm sure this is somewhere here but I cane up with 300 posts, mostly no help. If it is here, excuse me.

Both Syberia 1 & 2 will install but won't play. Under ANY compatibility setting. These are original discs. Anyone have a clue. I'll poke around some more later, have to go.

Can you tell us more about your computer? What operating system for instance?


Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

Syberia 2 is from 2004, which is late enough that the SafeDisc DRM on it is likely now blocked in Windows 7 and later.

The original Syberia CD is from 2002 and the SafeDisc DRM on it may be the old version that isn't blocked. However it needs a patch not to have issues with Hyperthreading and multicore processors. Reissues with newer SafeDisc DRM will be blocked the same way Syberia 2 is.

Either use a NoCD (Google Syberia 2 NoCD) or purchase a DRM-free download. When there is a sale, you can get the games for less than $5.00.

You can try the Syberia 1 patch and see if it helps, but if it "updates" the DRM too, you'll have the same problem as with later versions of the game.

I also have these games and the same problem with them both so I bought them both for almost nothing through Steam when I had the chance joy2
