Thanks, Ana. I've played all the way to the end of the demo this morning and I'm loving it so far. I think it's going to be a great game. wave

They are great, and I almost went nuts trying to find one last morphing object in the first scene where I found them. It was a good kind of going nuts, though; it's tons of fun! yes wave

Holy guacamole! I'd convinced myself that I didn't need to buy any more games this month. And hoped I could wait until first of December to start a new punch card. Not sure I'll be able to wait. The first BFG I played was "Return to Ravenhearst". Got me hooked.

This sure made my day. happydance

ETA: Not sure yet how I feel about morphing objects in lieu of regular hidden objects. Certainly adds to the challenge. Expect I can get used to it. I know that Ana, for one, must be absolutely delighted. wink

I know that the requirements are higher for this game than others. Can you disable the custom cursor?

I fear my old XP isn't going to be able to handle the game. It freezes and when it is playing it's choppy. Sometimes it runs smooth, but more than not it is choppy. I loaded it onto an external drive hoping that would help, but it didn't help enough.

Time for a new machine maybe.

For those having troubles with the game running poorly, you could also try going to options on the main menu and seeing if checking or unchecking "high definition" makes a difference. Someone on the Big Fish forum posted that this improved things for her.

Minimum system requirements as posted by one of the mods on Big Fish are as follows:

Quote:
Operating System: XP/Vista/Win7
CPU: 1.8GHz
RAM: 1GB (1024MB )
Display Memory (graphics device): 128MB
DirectX Version: 9.2
Hard Drive: 1501 MB of free space

I did uncheck high definition and I thought this was the fix, because it did work a bit better, but it is still not good. I even uninstalled all my games in game manager to see if that would help, because the game manager is still open when playing the trial, I thought that might cause it to be choppy. But even that didn't help.

On the forums, even people with newer computers are having the same choppy, stalling and freezing. So, not sure what the problem is.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what transpires.

So sorry, Jenny. If I see any info about this issue, I will be sure to post here.

Flo, I can't think of anything else to suggest; if your computer meets the minimum requirements, you might want to check and see if your hard drive needs defragging and whether or not there are any new drivers for your video card. Otherwise, contact CS and we will await further developments. turkey

I downloaded & started the game okay & then the cursor became very sluggish. Downloading a recent version of my video card driver seem to do the trick for me - so it's worth checking for driver updates. I would advise anyone thinking of buying it, to try the demo first to see if it will play on your system - there are so many posts on the BF forum from players having technical difficulties. smile

I'm happy that so many think this is an awsome game. I was so excited to get it and buy it. Now I'm not so sure. I have found the Strategy Guide to be less than helpful. At this point, I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I have no technical issues. I definitely need a walkthrough. Teddo

Hi Teddo,

You can try posting on the Big Fish forums in this thread; MargieB is helping folks get past their stuck points if they need additional help. smile

You can also try posting your question here too; maybe someone will be able to assist. This is not an easy game and most of us will need help at some point, I feel sure. wave

Ana,

I agree with you. Had a couple of screen freezes when I got in too big a hurry, but a simple tap of the Esc (Win 7 64-bit) key out to desktop then right back to the game exactally where I was & able to continue. This sucker is HUGE (1.2 gig)! Folks can't complain about enough morphing objects. LOL Some of them are downright "sneaky" also, got to keep your eyes peeled when the locket lights up hee hee...

Looks like it is going to be the Best Ravenhearst game yet. It is just chock full of references to previous MCF games. I know some folks that are going to be "in hog heaven" when they get this one.

Well back to the game. Got to get that light house I broke fixed. LOL


Happy Gamming All,
OldMan44
