Broken Sword 1 Disc Help

chrizkerr2 · 12-20-2006, 05:57 AM

Iam wondering is there a patch that fixes this? The problem Iam having is that Broken Sword only works when it wants to, most of the time it doesnt read that theres a disc inserted and doesnt do anything, but on the rare ocassion it works, surely there must be a way to make it read the disc 100% of the time?

Just want to complete all three Broken Swords again, before rebuying Angel of Death.

Sounds like your disc has a problem (scratches that make it hard to read, etc.).

I think your best bet is to copy all the contents to your hard drive (using as many retries as necessary), and then run it from there (you might need to use ScummVM for that).

(and BS4 is horrendous; don't waste your time/money with it)

Hmmm, my disc's are in mint condition, not even a single scratch.

Although Iam now starting to think its something to do with my disc drive itself, since I just tried to reinstall Runaway 1, which my disc drive isnt recognizing either

Have no idea on why my disc drive is having trouble reading CD-Roms, when it has no problem with DvD's.

Do you have a burner drive ? Try installing the game from that drive instead and see if that works.

If I remember correctly broken sword can't handle more than one cd-rom drive. Place a cd-rom in all your drives and it should work.
