I just purchased this game on Steam today...I was really looking forward to it. When I launch the game, it goes to a black screen with a white circle that just spins and spins and spins etc.. Has anyone else had this this problem and if so did you fix it? I will give it another day or two then I am requesting a refund.
Thanks,
gameho
I am checking it every few minutes....it's still spinning! I also deleted and re-installed the game. Still spinning!

I combined your posts for you. I checked Steam forums and it looks to me like the game will need a patch. Make sure your graphics card meets the requirements. They did the backgrounds in 3D so requirements are higher than for previous games from Pendulo. Graphics: ATI/NVIDIA dedicated/integrated or mobile graphic card, with at least 512MB of dedicated VRAM and with at least Shader Model 4.0 support

Hi Gameho, I too, purchased this game from Steam, and after launching the game for the first time, I DID get that "spinning circle" for quite a long time. I also thought that it wouldn't start at all, but after waiting, and waiting, and waiting, it DID finally start after all, and it's running really well on my Win 10 computer. Give it another try before you ask for Steam Support,which usually turns out to be NON-support, at least in my case. Maybe others have had better experiences using Steam Support, but I have NOT. I hope you get your game up and running really soon. Sandy

Sanford, do you have to wait a long time every time you launch the game or just the initial launch?
It has been "spinning" for about 2 hours now. I know you said you waited a long time, but this is ridiculous!

There's probably some way to get the game to display the resolution setting again. Games often have a separate configuration utility you could run, usually in the same folder or Start Menu location as the game .exe. So if you can find the game folder, look to see if you can find a different .exe besides the game .exe. The game would also have created a configuration file (or files) somewhere, which might be editable. But who knows where it would be these days. Possibly the same folder as the saves, possibly the game folder. It might be an .ini or .inf or .conf.or file that is editable with notepad. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ You might need Visual C++. The developer posted links to DirectX 9.0c and Visual C++ at Steam forums. http://steamcommunity.com/app/465280/discussions/0/217691032431917750/?ctp=3Most people who've played adventure games and older games on their computers will already have DirectX 9.0c. But it's possible they don't have the 64-bit version of Visual C++. Regarding the problem with the cursor dissapearing. We need more information about the problem: graphics card used, resolution of the monitor, steps to reproduce it, etc. Any information could be very helpful. Also, please, it is very important that you update your DirectX and graphics card drivers to the very last version. In order to update DirectX Link to DirectX https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=34429- Regarding the problem with the game not loading at the very beginning (infinite loop in the loading screen). Install the redistributable that you can find at: Link to Microsoft Redistributable Installer https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145and then, choose the 64 bits version after clicking on download (vc_redist.x64.exe). If this doesn't fix your problem, please, let us know. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ From the Steam forum, apparently there was an update that broke the mouse control for some people. Update was announced here http://steamcommunity.com/app/465280/discussions/0/217691032431754838/Issues were reported afterward... http://steamcommunity.com/app/465280/discussions/0/217691032431917750/?ctp=3http://steamcommunity.com/app/465280/discussions/0/217691032431917750/?ctp=4

Thanks again, Jenny, I'll give it a try and see what happens. On this subject, I DID already go to my Steam folder, then to the folder "Yesterday Origins", and just for the heck of it, Right clicked on the "exe" file> Compatability, and checked "Display Scaling", and also "Run as Administrator". I then launched the game again, and SO FAR, My cursor is NOT disappearing,but not only THAT, the cursor is actually steadier than it was before. I also created a shortcut for the .exe that is in the actual folder, and I'm launching the game from THAT icon on my desktop, and NOT from the original game shortcut provided by Steam. If this doesn't continue to work for me, I will address this as well at a later time. BTW, I'm still NOT getting the Settings Menu when launching the game, but if it's working correctly after tailoring the Compatibility settings. it rally doesn't matter any longer, at least in MY case. WHEW! Sandy

I just downloaded vc_redist.x64.exe from https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145The file size I get is 13.9 MB (14,572,000 bytes) The md5 checksum is 27b141aacc2777a82bb3fa9f6e5e5c1c If you don't have an md5 utility, you can upload to virustotal.com and look for the md5 under the "additional information" tab of the results for the md5 and other checksums (checksums make sure you got the whole file) I don't know why it should take a long time to install. Do you have Windows 7 SP1 installed? According to what I read, SP1 is necessary to install vc_redist.x64.exe on Windows 7.
