Hi.
I recently obtained Broken Sword 3, and it runs, but the title screen displays garbled and strange characters; the menus work, etc, but when I select the top option (presumably to start the game), te program crashes.
Has anyone experienced this, or does anyone know what I should be doing?
Have you checked the troubleshooting section in the manual? I would imagine you'd also be able to find a customer services number or email address to write to with your problems.
Check your graphics drivers and either update them or try using an older non-beta version.
My game kept starting up to a black screen and freezing the computer. I spent a whole day reinstalling the game, thinking it had something to do with corrupted files (the copy protection made my cd-rom drive sound weird, as if it had trouble reading the disc). It turned out that I had to uninstall my new geforce detonator drivers and return to an older driver version.
Edit: After installing the game, there should be links to the support website in your start menu.
Does Revolution games have a forum or something? You should ask there.
