Help please!--Runaway:A Twist of Fate
 

Hey guys, anybody knows how to get Agatha translate that manual thing? I'm stuck on this part. Please help~~~~~

Thank you seakash, I've just completed the entire game.:D

Hi! I am stuck in this game. How can I take the straps from the statue of Atlas???

Hi Kate,

Spoiler:

go to the far left of main path, you'll see there is a way heading to the front gate. After your searching in that area, I believe you'll sort it out.

:)

Oh!I didn't see this area! Thanks a lot!!!:)

Now I have another problem. When the chapter 2 starts, the game crashes...Does anyone have a saved game for the beginning of chapter 2???

Problem getting it to work...
 

Hi guys. I have a problem getting this game to work. I install it properly, register it, and then when I'm opening it I get a black screen. Audio works properly, if I press space the pause thing appears, you know with the || and the runaway 3 logo, but the rest is only black screen. A little help, please...

Spoiler:

I don't get it... I got the jack so now what?

nevermind...you have to look first

Ummm... thanks for looking into my problem too xxax... it's not like you don't care about anything but how to finish the game. Google "Runaway: A Twist of Fate" walkthrough if you don't know what to do. We're discussing serious technical issues here, not brain issues (like having no brain and not being able to get through a point and click game without a walkthrough). Or if you really don't want to spoil your gameplay, you could try UHS. That's Universal Hint System for dummies.

Had also a blackscreen when starting. but could hear the sound.
I'm running windows 7 and got it working by:
Right click the application and click properties
Click the Compatibility tab
Check the Disable Visual Themes and Disable Desktop Composition boxes.
Run this program in compatibility mode for windows xp (service pack 3)
Run as administrator.

Are you serious!? The thread started as a hint request...idiot.

Totally over the top reaction, thepr. People help with what they can help with, not everyone can deal with every single response. In any case, your original post would sit better in its own thread.

For the people having technical problems, have you installed the patch?

I installed the patch and now the game doesn't even start. Great!!!

Yeah I've got the exact same problem nw as well, don't know why coz chapter 1 worked fine for me. :frusty:

Sorry to hear that. :( You should send an email to Focus support with your system specs, because I'm sure they'd want to know about the problem.

You absolute flipping genius!! i was having this exact same problem and played the first 3 chapters in 16 bit but youve fixed it!!! the in game movies now look loads better. thank you.

Yes I will definately send them an email. This is ridiculous!I installed the patch in order to fix the issues and now it doesn't even run.

Is anyone else having this problem? I can't enter the Rec Room in Chapter 2. Every time I try, the game crashes. I am running the patched version, in Windows XP. Would it be possible for someone to send me a savegame from inside the Rec Room at the beginning of the Chapter?

Still not working...
 

Sorry about my reaction a while ago, especially to xxax, who seemes like he's very offended by a little sarcasm, but I have to admit this started as a hint request.
Anyway, I tried the solution given by Stochie, but I still get the black screen. Any ideeas why?

Runaway a twist of fate technical help
 

Both of my computers are 32 bit. On one computer that I tried to run this game I have a Radeon x600 SE. That didn't work so I installed it on my other computer, which has a Radeon 9200 Pro (0 x 5960) diaplay. Neither of these can play the game, I get a blank screen with a little sign in the middle that says that my graphics display is incompatible... or something like that. Do I need to buy ANOTHER new graphics card? I just bought this card a few years ago to play the last Broken sword game. I have installed the patch and I have tried other things that I have seen on various sites and nothing works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where ARE the savegames, anyway? I can't seem to find them to share them, even if I wanted to...

Hi, as a previous poster said i also get a crash when entering the recovery room.

Would be great if someone could put up a save game after entering the recovery room or at chapter 2 i guess?

Admonisher - i have no idea either

Since the saves are tied to a user account I'm not sure if they're transferable.

Also I hope you guys are all reporting these problems to Focus? With such a new game it's really important for the developer to hear what types of problems players are experiencing. (In theory, they should also be able to tell you where the saves are and provide one at the spot where you're having the crash...)

The saves are located in System Directory (C)/ProgramData/Pendulo Studios/RATOF/SAVEGAME/(your user name)/

Keep in mind the ProgramData folder is usually invisible...

Well according to the official Runaway Twist of Fate forum FOCUS is aware of the problems with the graphics and display and they are working to resolve these issues.

So now that we know where the saved games are, would anyone like to come to my rescue and put a savegame up just past the recovery room in chapter 2?

Native Display Mode... WTF?
 

AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!


Help!

In chapter 2, it crashed.

I used the Patch 1.05, and now this:

The native display mode of this game...


My computer:


Pentium 4 3.0 Giga

1 GB memory

Graphic card: AGP 256 MSI RADEON X800


Windows XP




A lot of people are having the same problem.

When they gonna fix that?

I don't want stop playing now!

:\

forget it - fixed it myself but creating my own saved game and getting past the crash.

People having issues with your video card not supporting the native display mode - try going to Program Files / Pendulo Studios / Runaway - A Twist of Fate and running the RATOF-config.exe. This lets you change the resolution the game runs at.

Runaway 3 BUG.
 

Fov,

Didn't work.

I'm still waiting for a Patch to fix that.

Solution to 1.05 patch problem
 

Go to the installation folder and with notepad edit "ratof.xml" file!

You will see display and resolution configuration just like this:

Adapter = 1
Width = 1280
Height = 720
Format = 32
RefreshRate = 60

change the Adapter value to "0" zero, and if you wish the resolution to your monitor default values.

In my case I'm using Nvidia Geforce 275GTX

That's how my "ratof.xml" file looks.
Adapter = 0
Width = 1360
Height = 768
Format = 32
RefreshRate = 60

Forget "RATOF-Config.exe" file it doesn't change your resolution


After that:
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate Edition

Right click the "RATOF.exe" file and click properties
Click the Compatibility tab
Check the Disable Visual Themes box
Check Disable Desktop Composition box.
Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Run as administrator.

When I've started the game it was fully working for me!!!

I still not get it, can you be a little more specific please ?

There's some scaffolding near the front entrance.

Spoiler:

Explore that and you'll find what you need to fix the Atlas statue.

After installing the patch my game wouldn't start either,
I had to repeat the installation process and reinstall the Direct X version that comes with the discs or is included in the download version, I believe there is one specific .dll file that is required to be replaced.
This applies to Windows XP.

Help in Chapter 2
 

Twiggins - you can't just take his whiteboard, or he'll notice. You need to be quick and swap it while he's not looking.

First:

Spoiler:

take a clean whiteboard from the bookshelf next to the nurse's station. Write a new destination on it with a marker (available on the screen near the door).

Then:

Spoiler:

Approach Mr. Nice and try to talk to him. He'll grab his suitcase and drop his whiteboard. Now you can swap them.

To solve the puzzle, you'll also need to figure out

Spoiler:

what to write on the white board.

There are clues for this elsewhere in the room.

Hey Runningback,what do you mean when you say ''I believe there is one specific .dll file that is required to be replaced.''?When i try to open the game i get this message:_AIL_set_sample_low_pass_cut_off@12 could not find in library mss32.dll
Does anyone have any idea what that is??Any help appreciated!
