can any one give me a link to download this please .

Here you go:

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel

You need to set up a Steam account (if you don't already have one) in order to be able to buy and download the game.

thanks now can anyone tell me the screen resolution best to run as my screen keep saying optimum mode the mode optimum mode say still dont work game

Think it was 1024 x 768. I had to change it before starting the game as it didn't change it automatically. Also couldn't finish the game as for some reason the game wouldn't save for me. Tried all the suggestions here with no luck so gave up!! Hope it works for you.

i have tried that rwsolutuion and1280x1024 and still got optimum mode on screen .wish i had never download this game now

Thanks, Upsy.

I'll move this thread to Glitches for more suggestions for you, Matty.

Hi Matty and Upsy-

The Steam forum said that you can change the gameengine.ini file if you're having problems with the resolution (supposed to run in 1024 X 768). I think someone said that they had to change the refresh rate to 60 from 0 to get the game to work. Good Luck

Was that the demo or the full game?

If it was the game, the things to try are:

Install in a location that Windows isn't trying to protect from changes -- for example in your user's My Documents folder.

Start the game as an administrator by right-clicking the game exe or shortcut and choosing to Run as Administrator.

Change the compatibility mode of the game to Windows 2000 (a different compatibility mode may work better on your computer).

Temporarily disconnect from the Internet and turn off your antivirus when you play.

You may have to do one, two, or all of these things in order to get the game to save, despite the fact that people will tell you the game worked perfectly on their computers without making any changes. No two computers are alike. If you order 10 computers the exact same model and specs from a computer manufacturer, there will always be one of them that is different and will have quirks.


Is it saying "optimum mode" or is it saying "not optimum mode" and not displaying a picture on the screen?
If it is this error

If these do not apply, tell us the name and model number of your monitor -- for example, Samsung Syncmaster 710N

it is saying not optimum mode .its says 1280x1024 which dont work and got no picture thanks

it is samsung syncmaster 940n

I downloaded the manual for your monitor and here is what it says in the Troubleshooting section:

You need to make sure your refresh rate is set to 60Hz.
Are you able to get into normal Windows at all?
If not, start the computer in VGA mode. Instructions here

I think you can change your resolution from VGA mode.

i have now put dead mountaineers hotel on my windows 7 computer .i got the picture now of the snow etc but still cant get rid of not optimum mode .driving me mad .my computer lady has read everything people are saying and we have changed the resolution got 60 htz and tried higher but it wont go .think this game is unplayable .

Have you installed monitor drivers for your model monitor or are you just using the Plug 'n Play drivers? Sometimes drivers that are made for your monitor will work better.

According to ***this***, it's looks like what I'd call a flaw in the monitor's software design, where you can't get rid of this useless message (useless when using the non-optimum mode doesn't risk harming the monitor). You could try setting your desktop to 75Hz and see if it makes a difference.

still cant get rid of not optimum mode so cant play dead mountaineers hotel .think time to change the samsung screen
