I can see the cinematic but I can't play

Post by carlibouros »

Hello !
I can good see the cinematic, but then the game doesn't begin (I can't access to the game's menu).
I have written NoSound 1 in user.txt, as it's written in the readme, but it doesn't work.
I'm French ; if someone can answer me in french I will enjoy. :)

Sorry you are having problems. Can you check you have the latest drivers for your hardware. Can you also let us know your PC specs and operating system and we'll try and get you up and running.

I'm moving this to the tech support area.

As above please check you have the latest drivers for your hardware and that you installed DirectX 9.0c.

Best way is to follow the directions in the Sticky at the very top of this forum.

If you follow the directions in the Sticky at the top of this Tech Support forum it should generate a report which you can post here to give us details on your machine.

That is the first step in trying to work out what is causing your issue.

Cheers
