Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders - 08/15/17 05:47 PM

Tried the demo with this game; found it to be very interesting. However, my mouse was all over the place, which I found irritating. Tried making the mouse setting faster, didn't work.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Someone on Steam said they went into Options for the game and changed the video setting from high to low and that this seemed to help with mouse problems. Until someone else comes along with possibly more suggestions, you could try that.

Thanks, Marian, but I went into the games menu and it stated my trial has expired. Oh well.

Maybe you could try a demo from somewhere else, like Big Fish, to see if turning down the video setting helps.

The game was released today on Big Fish, and I think maybe that's where Laurette got her trial version.

For some reason I thought she'd gotten the demo at Steam.

Steam does have a demo

It would at least be good to know if video settings were already turned down.

I originally got the demo from BF. Just tried Steam, and don't see any place to get options, except volume control. The cursor moved a little better on Steam, but not enough. Thank you everybody. I also changed the video resolution - didn't help.

If I see any possible solutions to the problem, I will let you know.

This may or may not do you any good if you have run out of trial time with the game, but Big Fish posted this today:

Quote:

For those of you who are having trouble with the cursor in the game, it sounds like adjusting the video quality of the game has helped others. To do this, please follow the steps below.

1. Open the game.
2. Select a profile.
3. Click on the Options button.
4. Click on the Videos tab.
5. Switch the settings from High to Low.

Thanks, Marian. However, I'm either blind or stupid, because I never saw an options button in this game. Only volume control.

Well, someone on the Big Fish forum for the game said that they followed the directions posted above and that it fixed the mouse issues.

I did find the options, followed the steps and it helped. The cursor is still a little bit weird, but since I have a free game, I think I'll take a chance.

Thanks again, Marian.

You are most welcome. I hope the mouse issues will continue to be less troublesome and that you are able to enjoy the game.

Just finished the game and liked it very much. It got my "gray cells" working! I recommend trying it; it's also a pretty long game, which is one of my most important points.

Great! That is excellent news.
