C++ Runtime Error

[LoveLamp]

If anyone gets a runtime error after completing all 4 spells and getting your coat, once your teleported to the main portal tree I got a C++ runtime error. I fixed it by uninstalling ALL of my "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, 2008, 2010 Runtimes" and left only the 2012 runtime installed by this game. Obviously that was a half-assed and impatient way to fix it as most of the runtimes are needed by some other programs, but this fixed it for me. I'd advise you to make a save point and remove one by one until the runtime error is fixed if you really want to pinpoint which version is messing it up. I left 2012 x86 (11.0.50727) and game works.

Oh, I wished so much that would work with me =/

Although the last version of my visual C++ was 2010. Then, I tried to install the 2012 x86 (11.0.6something), and just try with that version. No luck =/

I really want to finish the game >.<

I noticed something else actually, the reason the visual c++ runtime errors even occured is because my "Virtual Memory" maxed out. I have 4gb ddr3 ram and a pretty fast ssd, but the game still easily used all of that and close to 2gb virtual memory on my ssd. Before I had it set to around 1.5gb virtual memory.. increasing it to 2gb allowed me to finish the game without the errors coming up.

I managed to finish the game just now. I did a google search I saw on a deponia post that this thing happened on that game as well. In the visionaire configuration tool there's a option 'texture compression'. I just checked that and it worked.

Although the game was very laggy and I almost gave up on the last part. >.< But I did finish it

GJ! Yea I had that checked for most of the game, but it made loading times very slow (10 sec) which is REALLY annoying moving from one spot to the next so I turned it off without any noticable difference in image quality. Anyways loved the game

[Imyra]

Tks! =D
10 secs of loading? You're lucky! It took a long time to load for me, I usually opened the game and went to get a glass of water, or such things. When I came back, the game was still loading...

Between places in the game the loading was faster, or else it would be really unplayable.

And I loved the game as well. The art, the voice, the puzzles... they're really m y tipe of game =D

[LoveLamp]

either the game is way too reliant on CPU or GPU, but definitely does not take advantage of both.

[Imyra]

True... they should really fix it, beacuse the game is amazing!

I'm having a really bad luck with games lately. The night of the rabbit, CIV (it doesn't get the late game achievs because I don't have the dlcs), closure (lag after some time playing)... =/

I can't seem to be able to play this game... and I'm able to play games like L4D2, Dead Space, what ever. This game goes way too slow, is impossible to play, I don't know what to do

[LoveLamp]

did you turn off texture compression?
