Use ResidualVM to run TLJ

The game isn't fully supported yet with beta daily build of residualvm but has been fairly active lately and seems to be running from start to mid part of game without problems and looks great.

make sure to download the daily build.

Why?

Bugs like mouse trails and I had character trails when using dgvoodoo in hardware or software modes. Also no missing textures like the egg at start or holes in characters.
Can also enable antialising by adding residulevm exe to gpu control panel profiles with no issues. I know some these problems can be fixed with settings an dgvoodoo but residualvm seems to not have any of these problems.

sorry for one word answer. I had somehow deleted almost all of my my post except first word

It does look good. Not sure if it gets buggy later on I've only got to about 1/3 of the way so far.

Adding my voice to those who find ResidualVM awesome... Have played through the first three chapters today and only encountered one major bug, everything else works like a charm -- or at least, much better than having to run the game on a XP virtual machine...

The bug was that the game crashed when I tried to examine the gallery ticket you pick up from the poster in the Fringe. I worked around it, however, by unchecking all boxes in the setting (all but one are checked by default, and I had enabled the video skip option, too), and reenabled those settings after examining the ticket, so it was just a hiccup, not a serious roadblock.

Update on ResidualVM support for the Longest Journey

Posted by bgK

The Longest Journey Logo

The 20th anniversary of the release of The Longest Journey comes in a few days. As a present, the ResidualVM team offers the means to play the game on modern systems. Of course there is a catch, we need your help to find the last few bugs in the game engine before we can declare it stable.

To play The Longest Journey, get a fresh daily build of ResidualVM, assemble the required files from your game copy, and optionally install the HD mod. The HD mod was created by Faberman. It brings a welcome graphical update to the game through the use of a machine learning upscaler and a lot of polishing work. Please report the issues you encounter while playing the game on our bug tracker.

I cannot load the game with Residual, it does not recognize the .exe file from the Steam folder, how can I solve this?

ResidualVM is no longer being updated. They merged with ScummVM. The latest ScummVM daily build finally works with TLJ steam version.. I am able to run it with HD mods.
