Game Crash
Every time i start one of the 5 games the program crashes without warning or a error display. Is this a known error? If so does it have a fix.

Hi Osie,

No, this problem is unknown, thank you for information. Let's fix it :)

Please check:
"Steam\SteamApps\common\HiddenObjectBundle5in1\My Games" - it's folder with all games. You can run them separately without start screen.

If everything is ok with the games, so the source of our problem is that start screen. Please send me files from this place:

"Steam\SteamApps\common\HiddenObjectBundle5in1\content\temp"

Our e-mail: steamhelp@alawar.com

Thank you!

Mine crashes as well. Ever since I bought this I have had trouble with all the games in this bundle. Crash all the time.

Yes, it is the same problem. So if you can send us files it will really help: we still doesn't have any data from crash cases.

Example of path for Win7 64:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\HiddenObjectBundle5in1\content\temp

This files contains loader log which can help us to make all fixes.

Sorry i am late , just saw this topic and since i have loads of games including lots of alawar games (they are very good) , i decided to reply.

Its strange that most games keep crashing, i have >170 casual retail cds, so thats >170 hogs(hidden object games)
also have best of cd/dvd's with 5 tot 10 games on it, so thats in total >300 casual games

Regarding hog and casual games, its unfair to compare these games with full blown big titled games, you can only compare one casual with another casual, i read some reviews that complain about the voices and lipsyncing, its a casual game it is cheaper then a full blown adventure so comparing it is like comparing tomatoes with apples, and thats unfair.

Its weird that the games crash cause mine dont crash, i have retail versions from denda in dutch language. i am a casual games fan and i have lots of them.

I am playing the behind the reflection 2 right now... i have visited 3 rooms and the attic
and the game did not crash ...
as for mountain requital ... i fnished the game and it did never crash so i dont know what
problems some users might have...

Only thing i can think of is the drm or launchers are messing up the things mine are all drm free
retail cd/dvd games and a lot do use a lot of cpu and gpu but they dont crash.Most of the casual games i have are alawar, i think they are one of the best casual games distributors.

Final thing that might be causing it might be win7 64 bits, i read lots of replies in various gamefora and usually its on 64bit windows, and sometimes it might be the GPU thats messing up.

A final tip for users who seem to dislike games, bigfishgames is the big one in casualgames theres loads of reviews about almost any casual game given by user that are buying these for many years so they know almost all games.
If you are uncertain about a game just look at the reviews there, then decide.
I always use bf to see what a game is like before i buy the retail versions (drm free) on disk.

I have the same problem. Mountain Crime: Requital doesn't start from the launcher (Mountain Crime: Requital has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Please close the program. -Windows error-) I tried to open the game from the folder not the launcher, but I get the same results. The other games work fine from the launcher. I unistalled the game and reinstalled it, same thing. I verified the files, no problem. I use Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 with the latest update and all installed. How can I fix this?
PS. I also had a problem during the installation. the EULA wasn't loading.
Also I install all of my Steam games in different disc not the system one, but I never had a problem with any game.

hi, sorry to read the game doesn work for you, but the game is great :D
i finshed it and its very good.

i have it on retail cd (denda games) and it works a charm on old XP 32 bits with 3 gb of ram (3.3GB it is i guess)

Now i use win7 64bits home premium 8 gb ram, cause XP is old, this steam client is on old XP.
I hope you can get the game to run cause its really good.

I have played it too, along time ago, but i want another family member to play it. the problem is not my pc it's the game obviously.

my cousins played it aswell, on a laptop, and laptops usually arent as good as a full desktop or (mini)tower pc, but they managed to run and finish the game.
the denda version i have is drm free so i dont know if the client might have to do something with it.
Most of the alawar games that i have on denda (drm free) work a charm, i cant vow for the steam versions cause i dont have them.
Some casual games on steam only require steam to download it, after the game is installed the game can be run on any pc without steam installation needed.

I bought 2 newer hiddenobjects that arent out on denda (drm free) yet...
these 2 games do work however on any pc without the client.
If there are more games like this then i wont mind getting them here :D

Basically i like ease of gaming and hasslefree:
1. buy a game and pay for it
2. download , install and run it. .
3. play it


i'd rather use a serial (usually these have 2 or 3 activations) after activation its okay, no extra clients needed (that also take space, and god nows what else )

with a client needed you have to install the client on any machine and or windows you have, and thats a bit of a hassle

Plus if you run the game, and the client decides its time to update itself you have to wait till its done, now thats not hassle free, it consumes valuable time, had to wait 15 minutes because it was updating itself.

And last but not least: it needs patching to make sure there arent any security leaks in it.
So basically its a lot of hassle, autopatching is nice but again it requires you to wait, with normal manual patches you only need recommended big important patches and not silly patches because it added some exotic language options

I heard of steam on gog forum so thats why i have some games now on steam and on gamersgate cause i read a bout it on gog forum, i am mainly a gog gamer.

After 2 months I haven't heard any news from devs I bought those 5 games and I can't play the one Im most interested with Mountain Crime Requital you have to fix the game asap or get me a key for the standalone version, When I got the game there was not refund for the games. I just want to play the games I bought, ALL OF THEM..

sorry to read its not solved,.i have them aswell (retail cd from denda (drm free)
and they work a charm, some of the Alawar games are a bit heavvy on the cpu/gpu, (maybe because of the smokes and physics?)
but i could finish them all on my XP and my 64bits win7.
I am a alwar fan more or less :D

the one benefit from digital games over retail cd/dvd games (physical) is support.

like i said i also buy may retail casual games, usually in a retailstore (with people)
stores like: Bart Smit, Toys R Us, Game Plaza etc etc (i am from the netherlands)
and a lot online at bol dot com (available for dutch and belgium)

i get my casualgames demo from whoever has got them first: bigfishgames, dendagames(dutch only) and sometimes demos from gamersgate.
after playing i will look who has the game, the one who has it gets the deal, cause i rather dont like waiting.

So i bought the retail cd of:

Fall Of The New Age CE (unity game)
Frankenstein - Master of Death (unity game)
Nearwood
Runaway Express Mystery (unity game)
Dark Strokes - The Legend of the Snow Kingdom CE
Clockwork Tales - Of Glass and Ink CE

problem is with retail casualgames: there's no support only faulty cd/dvd can be returned to the store but thats no support, so if a game bugs, uses extrem cpu and gpu, then you are on your own.
The games above are extreme gpu/cpu bashers
funny thing is most is unitygame, a free engine that is not optimised.

another fine example: pillars (unity game)
i bought it but its so heavvy, i wont risk my pc


merchants of kaidan (i have it on steam) is also quite heavvy on cpu and gpu
i think its a unitygame aswell


The fun thing is: Celestian Tales - Old North is also unity but this game uses only half of what all the other games use regarding cpu and gpu, so this proves that games created with unity can be low usage.
So hats of to these devs from the team that made Celestian Tales - Old North who prove that
a game does not have to be burning rubber like lots of unoptimised other unity created games do.

After upgrading to windows 10 ( clean install) the games work perfectly. EULA still isn't loading.
