Well this is ♥♥♥♥, none of the games in the humongus entertainment collection will work. Win8/8.1/10

Hi there guys,

any ideas on how to get these games to work under windows 8/8.1/10?
I've tried on multiple machines and can't get any of the games to work. They just crash on launch. I thought the games were run in a VM so really there shouldn't be any issues... and given the price of the collection this shouldn't really be a problem... I'm pretty pissed.

It seems a lot of people have been having trouble with getting the Steam copies to work well. My only suggestion is to go to http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/ and get a fresh copy of the VM to try and run the games with.
EDIT: I forgot to mention this wont work with PJ Sam 4 and Putt-Putt Pep's Birthday Surprise, as they run on a completely different engine. It should work with all the others though.

Are the Steam versions still shipping with the old version of ScummVM? Wow.

They're using the curent version, it just doesn't seem to cooperate with Steam for whatever reason.

Well... maybe they should get off their asses and do something about it. That's a lot of money we've spent...

I've had no problem with the scummVM games on Windows 8.1 and 10.

Pajama Sam 4 and Putt Putt 7 are not on SCUMM engine. Unfortunately, I can't get either of those games to work on Windows 8.1 or 10. Nightdive Studios "can't" provide support anymore, and Humongous Entertainment/Tommo Inc haven't responded to multiple support tickets and emails.

its not old news either. Your only bet is running an windows xp vm and trying to run the game through that.... nasty.

Yeah I'm not going through that hastle to play only 2 games. I already refunded Pajama Sam 4, would've refunded Putt Putt 7 but it was too late for Steam's Policy. Tommo Inc still hasn't responded to two of my tickets.

I'm glad at least all of the other games work on my end, dunno if you ever figured that out. The SCUMM games worked just fine for me on Win8.1 and Win10 having installed everything recently.

I managed to get Pajama Sam 4 working Go to the local files. Properties to the exe file. Change it to compatibility mode windows xp service pack 3 and run on 640 x 480. At least thats how i got it working on my daughters computer.
