Issues unresolved

Alt+Tab causes Twitter login fail

Using Alt+Tab appears to cause loaded tweets to fail.[1]

Non-US keyboard

Appears to be treating all international keyboards as US keyboards.[2]

Black Backgrounds & Other Missing Graphics/Videos

May or may not be related to ATI Cards but the game does not display background graphics or intro video.[3] The log lists various information, for example:

Couldn't find scenes/common/messagebox/positions.pnt
  • Verifying steam download results in it attempting to fix but does nothing.
  • Completely reinstalling after deleting local content does not fix.
  • Latest video drivers does not fix.

Some users have had success fixing this by disabling the Catalyst A.I. in the AMD Control Center.[4]

Black Screen Freeze

The game will sometimes freeze in the transition between areas and at the end of a section. ALT-tabbing out and back works between areas, but when stuck after the second level it can be stuck permanently.

Soundtrack

The Steam version comes with the games soundtrack in MP3 format (FLAC and others available here). This can be access by going to <path-to-game>\soundtrack.

Notes

  1. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/204060/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (204060) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
