[Sargon]

At least for me it crashes on startup.. cant seem to solve.

Also, does anyone have the support link?

This is specific to the Steam version. I have either the GOG one and GOG's works like a charm on my win 8.1, but the Steam doesn't.

I just want a refund at this point, but I don't think Steam will do that for something like this :/

Actually I have found this post: http://steamcommunity.com/app/277110/discussions/0/558751179478935866/#c618457398964574246 and I was able to get to the game menu :D Before that game frozen every time on the producer logo animation at the beginning.

I also have an issue with crashing on this game, however it is when I right click to access the interface, or inventory or whatever it is. It's quite frustrating because when I restart the game I have to do everything all over again. Any thoughts on solutions?

Now that they give refunds, I just refunded the bundle. I didn't care enough to go through all the work to get it working.

Thank you for all of the tips on this thread - my new computer with Windows 10 plays this game perfectly when I start it either via Steam or by just clicking on the game file. The only odd thing that happens is some window flashing on startup - but then it works without any issues. (Steam doesn't count minutes played but that doesn't matter at all to me.)

I did the verify cache thing and it re-downloaded 1 file. I did not need to set the config.ini file to windowed mode. I set both the game.exe and RtMI.exe properties as: "run as administrator", compatible with "windows xp service pack 2" and I checked "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" but did not check "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution." It works great and even the subtitles are very clear.

Thank you all for providing the information on this thread - I'm really enjoying this game and hope to try these tips on Return to Mysterious Island 2 soon!

Few things you have to do here depending on your OS; but all are collectively here.

1. Right click the game in your Steam Library and select "Properties". Select the "Local Files" tab and click "Verify Integrity of Game Cache". You will notice that 1 of the files is corrupt and will be re-downloaded. This doesn't always happen instantly and you may or may not see it in the download section. If you don't see it, don't worry - It'll happen. Move on, regardless.

2. Navigate to the Steamapps\Common\Return to Mysterious Island Folder. Once there, Right click Game.exe and select properties. Click the compatibility tab and select "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Select "Run this program as an administrator". Then click "Apply" and then "OK"

3. Repeat this process for the file: RtMI.exe. Selecting BOTH the Compatibility mode as well as the Administrator rights.

4. Setting Windowed Mode - (Optional, in some cases.): Open the file: config.ini with Notepad. Inside, you will find a line that says: "bFullScreen=1" Change this to say 0 (zero) instead of 1. Save the file.

At this point, you're finished, but you CAN NOT run the game through the Steam Library. Instead, launch the file: Game.exe and the game should start. Most won't require Windowed Mode - so try skipping Step 4 first. if it doesn't work, you can change to windowed mode in the .ini and adjust resolution as needed by adjusting the "bScreenResolution" string.

Hope this helps anyone enjoy a wonderful Point and Click adventure!

This worked perfectly for my Windows 7 64-bit OS. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I appreciate the specific instructions. I tried it as you stated and it worked! I can even run it from Steam.

[temperedblade68]

Oh, wait, now it isn't crashing on start up, but I can't move in the game. Right-clicking is fine and I can look around, but can't move in any direction. Tried w a d s keys and arrows--nothing.

Edit:
Nevermind. I just realized that you move by clicking with the mouse when the curser flashes. No w a s d involved. *facepalm*

Setting the XP compatibility mode helped, thanks GLPlayaz.

I did get this game working using compatability mode + verifying cache on steam, but, after playing for a few hours and saving game, and exiting, i cannot get the game to start again, no matter what fixes i try, really a shame, as i love this game :(

This work for me perfectly!! Thanks so much.

My system: Windows 10. I have tried everything from this post and nothing helps. I have a problem with black screen on start up. My game is not "crashing" or "exiting". I run RtMI.exe normally and with compatibility with xp sp2 and other settings which have been already written here. When I run this exe file i have a black screen and nothing is happening. I close it by task manager or by X button. I have tried windowed option... nothing better. When i run Game.exe or ConfigAppender.exe nothing happens. I tried setting compatibility and other options on each of this exe files at the same time and run RtMI.exe.... nothing changed. Please help me. I thought that I will play this game from my childhood and have fun as I used to but technical problems ruined everything! I started thinking about installing a Virtual Machine Program with Windows XP and maybe i cam run it that way but I think that something obviously can be done to fix it withaout such weird tricks as virtual machine. Thanks in advance!

Is it just me or does everyone see this>>>... Go to your RtMI folder in the Steam/Common blah blah wherever yours is. Then go to the LAUNCH folder and open (notepad) the Settings.ini file. This is what I see in mine for the first few lines:

"[General]
TargetDir=C:\Users\dotemu\MegaRace
AutorunType=1
AutorunUpdated=false
CustomerID=xxxxx (< blanked out by me)
Length=EFC
CdID=36
[Icon]
Type=2
Filename=\megarace3.ico"

What the heck is this "TargetDir" stuff? I have no game or folder like that. Could this be part of the overall problem??? Same with the ICO line, is MegaRace a game by these guys??

Win7 Pro 64bit

P.S. I tried everything shown so far and still dies at the MICROIDS screen, other MICROIDS games work.
