Which version is this?

[Wetpaper]

Is this the patched PS2 version or the PC version with game breaking bug in the middle?

Does it have the improved Monkey Kombat from the PS2?

[sauhan77]

in the German Version, Patch 1.1 is already included

Improved? You mean you PS2 had better Monkey Kombat then PC? It was one of the things I hated about the game tbh, that and the wonkey camara movements.

didnt it just have a graph showing your learned kombat combos, wish it was in this version, whats this game breaking bug?

[Wetpaper]

Yeah, the PS2 version had a graph it filled out for you, so you didn’t have to make your own.

The game breaking bug was that when you finished the Mystes O’ Tyme Marsh Guybrush would row back to shore, but never dock. He would just endless row into the shoreline.

The only way to fix it was start a new game from scratch and hope that one isn’t bugged too or load a save from just past that point.

I don’t know if there’s a patch for the original pc version. Last time I played Escape I didn’t find one, I just found a bunch of posts about the Mystes O’ Tyme.

there is a patch for PC Version, see here[www.worldofmi.com].

I don't know if it adresses the bug you mentioned, but in my last playthrough with patch 1.1 I didn't encounter this bug.

[Wetpaper]

It doesn’t happen every play through, just sometimes.

When you do get that bug though it’s a pain in the butt. I had to download a save off the internet last time and then redo some puzzles and I think the save was missing something I did on my own save.

just so everyone knows, the only 2 differences from pc and ps2 is the ps2 used less pre rendered backgrounds and had different mapping controls for the controller, unless you notice that kind of stuff, you aren't really being left out, I played both, its hardly noticeable

as far as I know the best free software to use this with is the https://quickandeasysoftware.net/software/escape-from-monkey-island-setup website

unless steam somehow patched this or added it, as I don't have the steam game, I recommend anyone trying to play this on a high resolution install that with the game as its the best software to use


but ignore this if steam has somehow made a better exe

for the bug: I think patch 1.1 fixed this, but its always best to keep muilti saves, you have like 20 pages worth

and this to the fact I would not save or restore when doing the myst o time, your best bet is to save it before the puzzle, and do it in one go, I can only guess steam handles ports like this better then in the early 2000s

[Wetpaper]

It doesn’t matter if you have multiple saves. If that play through of the game is bugged, it’s bugged, and you won’t know until you get to the Mystes O’ Tyme.

This is the V1.1 PC version. The game breaking bug at Mists O'Tyme isn't to do with the version but to do with trying to run this program on a recent OS. Both V1.0 and V1.1 do not have a game breaking bug when running on Windows XP. The V1.1 patch does fix a number of glitches, but none of them are game breaking.
The biggest difference between PC and PS2 versions is the chart you get for Monkey Kombat. Aside from that, it's all little graphical changes. The font is different. Some backgrounds look nicer in PS2 while some look nicer in PC. Not all characters in PS2 look over at the action. Things like that.

That unofficial patch only works on a new save. Otherwise it breaks Monkey Kombat.
