Uhmm you may be right about that. Even though I run 3D games with the notebook unplugged, this might be an incompatibility of some sort with AGS.

Very weird problem though.

Power saver only affects backlight though, nothing related to the way objects are rendered on the screen, I think.

Blaming vista sounds very attractive but nothing else screws up under these conditions, only AGS games (that I'm aware of).

Ok, I have figured out when this happens, but I have no idea of why exactly.

I play the game in my notebook, and this happens every time I unplug it and run the notebook on battery.

I know this makes little to no sense but this is definitely it. I just tried running the game with the notebook plugged and just as I unplug it, the image freezes. As soon as I plug it back in, the image works again.

This never happened before and does not happen with any other app, just AGS games. Nothing happens in my machine once I unplug it, no pop-ups or anything that might screw the game.

I know this sounds hard to believe but it's 100% true and I have no idea of why this is happening.

This is the notebook I'm running it on:

And again, I'm on Vista 32 bits.

Hey guys

I'm new here so please bear with me. Also, I'm not american, so excuse if my english is poor.

I was playing Yahtzee's Art of Theft game and it was going just fine. However, today it just stopped working. When I run the .exe, I just get sound and the game visually gets stuck in the first frame. I can control the game but I don't see what I'm doing, I just get sound. If I run the game in full screen, the screen refreshes when I alt+tab, and then it gets stuck in the newly refreshed frame. However, in windowed mode, it never even refreshes.

Any idea of what could be happening here? I installed a few apps today but nothing major. What could screw up the game like that? I've tried changing the buffer size to 20MB (maximum value), running it on compatibility mode (I'm running Vista 32bits here) but nothing worked.

Thanks for the help.
