I've been playing a game for a few days; just finished it. It ran normally. Now, I am starting the Bonus Game. Something very odd has happened.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if I have encountered a game bug, but when the Bonus Game starts, I get the full screen image without all the Controls at the margins. No box to click to access the "Menu," no "Inventory Bar," no "Hints" button, and no "Game Guide" button (I bought the CE version). My pointer still works just fine, and I can move about the environment, select things, even go on to a subsequent scene by clicking on the directional arrow. Obviously, though, I can't play the game this way, since I won't be able to store and retrieve Inventory if I can't see it, and I won't have access to the Game Guide if I need a nudge in finding my next task, not to mention I won't be able to access the Menu to Exit the game! (I had to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to get out of the game.)
I have rebooted and retried the game, twice, just in case this was a one-off goof, but it is the same deal each time: No Controls. I opened another, similar game from the same company that is waiting to be played, and everything in THAT was just as normal as could be.
There are no screen resolution options with the game, so it is not that I tweaked those. Anyway, if I had, it would have impacted the Main Game, and I had no such issue previously. What do you think? Am I through here or is there a fix?
