Help: Freezing Before Encounters

[Tavanesh]

The game, at first, would occasionally freeze before an encounter but a restart would usually fix it. However, now that I've got to the Jack of Dust, it always freezes when I try and start the battle. I've switched the graphics down to fastest to no avail. I'm not sure what to do.

I have the same problem. I can never fight the Jack of Dust. Always freezes.

Sorry to hear that, OSX?

Just bought the game, and I have this problem as well. Can't verse Jack of Dust. And yes, on OSX. The game freezes but sound can still be heard.

*Update*
I "forefeited" the game, worked well for a little bit until I got down the stairs, then just freezed at the encounters from there. I've tried a lot of things but to no avail.

Yes, OSX

Same issue here though a little after the Jack of Dust. I get to the Maze of Traps and it freezes. I can still hear the game sounds but everything is frozen.

same problem with jack of dust, windows 7. also the 2 previous fights did not work properly. the NPCs did not move in either, and in 1 they were invisible.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who's having this problem. I'm also running OSX

[Brown Bricks]

Any fixes?

[Schizo]

Same here, freezes just before the jack of dust

Unsuprisingly, the game works just fine on windows (I have it on my mac because of bootcamp.)
So for anyone who's dual booting, it's an option at least.

Just bought the game, OSX Yosemite, running "Beautiful" settings, 2440 resolution windowed mode and full screen, tried max FPS and Vsync, using an XBOX controller.

Game has frozen 4 times on the first encounter, Dead Man's Gorge-2 of Dust. Twice it's locked up on the loading screen that shows the 2 cards. Twice I made it to the "battle" screen, saw my avatar equip his sword and shield then it froze.


So right now game is unplayable and probably getting returned, never had this blantant of a failure from a Steam game.

+1 Game is unplayable in OSX

Unplayable in Win 7 for me. Played fine for a short while, but then crashed. Every time an encounter triggers now the game crashes before the fight parts load.
