your specs?

Had that feeling it may not work.

This is a quote from somewhere else... "When i tried running it in windows 2000 compatability mode, it worked perfectly". That made me chuckle.

i don't know..the reccomended specs are really high, but i don't know if it is the main reason of your problem. try to run on compatibility mode, and then tell us if it work.

nope still not working , i e-mailed a consultant from the official site maybe he/she knows more, cause i saw it was a common error on myst V

Keep in mind, this game is running on the Unity engine, not the original RealMyst one. So the issues won't be inherently the same.

I've got the same problem ! I would be interested ina solution when you have one...

Unity? No wonder it's not working very well for a lot of people.

Can you explain ? Are there some tricks we should try ?

[billisdead]

No way..... I tried all the same, and I've got the same bitter feeling. I've got a pretty good laptop : I5-3210M @ 2.5GHz / 8GB RAM, Asus, Windows 7 / graphic : NVIDIA GeForce 610M

I mean, that should work.

[billisdead]

I submitted a ticket on Cyan Support, will let you know guys. I'm a bit desperate nonetheless.

I am wondering if laptop gpu's are fully supported.

Runs 'fine' for me:

Windows 8.1
i7-4930MX
32.0 GB Ram
Gforce 780m GTX

A little choppy though...

[billisdead]

Alright, I managed to make it work.

I'm using compatibility mode XP (SP3). I also tweaked a few stuff in NVIDIA configuration panel.

FXAA - off
Anisotropic filtering off
Vertical Sync - off

In the end, I'm still disappointed. The graphic upgrade is not obvious, at least on my laptop. Maybe with a decent computer, with every 3D parameters on top, the experience is worth it.
Don't know... at least, I can use my bloody game.

[Drop-Bear]

Same experience here, excepting I can't get it to work in any compatibility mode, nor any of the settings advised here, or the relevant Nvidia settings previously suggested in this thread. I have raised a ticket on the Cyan site and have sent a copy of DxDiag along with output_log.txt (from game folder).

As far as issues with the Unity engine, I'm having problems believing this is causing a problem (for me at least). I run Kerbal Space Program, and iirc that runs on Unity also. No problems there, I don't even need to try any Compatibility or Nvidia workarounds...

[Fizzlepop Berrytwist]

I am also unable to launch the game would really love to. I bought the game yesterday wanting to jump right into playing it only to watch it do a 1 second black screen ad crash nomatter what i tried. It cant be becuase its the unity engine cuase I frequently play surgeon sim and thats the unity engine. I hope someone figures out whats going on as well.
I have intel for my graphics

One thing to note: the game can drive the GPU really hard - to the point it's sky-rocketing GPU temperatures. Laptops have a much harder time running a cool GPU than desktops. This might lead to incorrect geometry on the screen and severe stutter as the GPU throttles back.
