![]() This, however, might not fix your problems, since I don't know what the specific problem is, you didn't add an image link or anything after all. In order to get the game to work correctly, you should set it to run as Windows XP. Isn't the masterpiece edition supposed to have enhanced graphics? I see no option to change that, so is there anything I can do to change that? Well, if the edition you got is the "Myst: Masterpiece Edition", the images displayed on the store page should be the very same ones you're getting on your PC, however, there's a possibility that your settings aren't correctly configured, since the "Myst: Masterpiece Edition" version was not released for Windows Vista, 7, and beyond. They look nothing like the pictures on the store page. But sadly there still is lots of game-devs who are still living in Win98 era, which is why you may find even such relics as "save" and "cache" located in game folder under C:\Program Files.Avastgard: The graphics I am seeing in-game seem to be the exact same graphics from when the game was released. Like, don't delete/modify anything without knowing what you're doing - cache-files, or basically anything that is subject to change without update/patch should not be located there. Just remember to be careful when you're dealing with the actual game-files, as too careless behavior will lead to reinstall. At this point I currently cannot provide screenshots nor correct file-name, as my desktop-PC is out of order (GPU fan broke, waiting for replacement part to arrive). Then you find the correct exe, select it (that's important, because right-clicking without selecting first will give you a menu with options for the current folder) and right-click it, and choose Properties. Click button "BROWSE LOCAL FILES." - this will open a new window in filemanager.From the window " - Properties", select LOCAL FILES tab.From resulting menu, select Properties.In Steam, in Library-view, right-click the game.How to change compatibility settingsFirst, you need to locate the game executable (.exe). Took something like 7 hours ( including time for playing mobile-game while sitting in toilet).Īfter finishing the game, I opened compatibility-settings again, and turned on option "Disable visual themes", and tested the game. No problems, I played the whole game in one instance. This is where I got an error-dialog, instead of save-dialog. I had played for quite a bit, when I realized that I had not done a single save. As last option, Windows 95 mode proved to be working, although sounds played distorted. ![]() Eventually, even Windows 98 mode was out of the window. With this knowledge, it was easy for me to go through the compatibility modes and see which ones would be working completely. On the Myst isle, in the room where you set the voltage, moving pointer over the red buttons caused the game to halt. It was not even related to movie-animation. I played a little while, until I found a spot where I could repeatedly cause the game to hang. Movies worked fine, sounds played great, everything seemed to work just good. Then I switched compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3. With quick test, movies started working, but sounds played rather distorted. I played through Selenitic Age.Īfter returning with a page and seeing only black box on a book, I decided to try to get the movies working as well, thus I changed compatibility mode to Windows 98. ![]() Other than that, there were no crashes, I was able to save the game, sounds played out great. Full detail about how I ended up to these settingsAt first I launched the game without changing anything, and it worked all fine, with one exception - no movies, including movie-based animations (blue and red books were "dead", holo-pool had no animation, etc). ![]()
