Whenever I hear about this game, I want to call it “Derponia”!

Glad it’s out on Steam. I’ll maybe pick it up during the holidays, after I finish the next few games on my queue.

Me too!  Lol

I you had a version of Deponia installed other than the Steam one, you’ll have to delete the config files and the savegames folder of the game. Those versions and savegames are not compatible.

Did - I completely uninstalled the German version prior to purchasing from Steam. 

I have service tickets filed with both Steam and The Adventure Shop, but I haven’t heard back from either yet.  If I don’t hear back from The Adventure Shop within a reasonable time, I’ll try filing a complaint with Paypal to get my money back.

I really just want to play the game - in English.

Hope it all works out for you….I’m trying GamersGate at the moment so I’m hoping it’s in English and works ok

Some people over at Gameboomers had similar problems with Deponia from The Adventure shop, but they contacted The Adventure shop and were sent download links for the english version free of charge. If you have not heard from them yet, perhaps you should try e-mailing them again.
And in my browser window the language in The Adventure shop page has definitely changed to english. I don’t know about the actual downloadable game, since I have the retail version. Perhaps it has not changed in all countries yet.

Having the same problem as Cyreen. Except it doesn’t say there’s any error or missing file.. it just exit to Windows without even starting the game.
The demo was running without a problem (and I uninstalled it prior installing full game).

I’m playing Deponia now, it’s a fun game….I quite like Rufus

It’s not enough to uninstall the game.I had similar issues on my laptop where i had the german demo installed and then installed the gamersgate english version.
In order to make it run I had to erase the savegames from the previous version. In windows 7 the saves are in your home directory/AppData/Local/Daedalic

Thanks Szaharici! That worked

I’m moving this thread over to Hints & Tech since it’s mainly technical (there should still be a redirect in the Adventure forum). I hope those who accidentally bought in German are able to get the issue resolved, it’s a good game!

Excellent, thank you!  That worked.

Two days after releasing a German version of Deponia, despite my request for a refund, The Adventure Shop has rectified their mistake.  I won’t be downloading the English version from them and I won’t buy from them again.

I got a e-mail from the Adventure Shop with the links for the english version of Deponia but I ended up getting it from GamersGate it’s a shame I can’t give it to someone as it’s a waste of a fun game

As expected, The Adventure Shop has refused to refund because I activated the German version.  Never again.

I do like the game (purchased on Steam) so far, love the artwork, although I’m pretty sure I’ve dated Rufus.

Good for you. Their prices are too high as well. I will never ever buy digital downloads from a site that has the 1 US dollar = 1 Euro policy. 

Why not use the US store then?

You started a thread on the Steam forums saying you couldn’t get it to run. Mind updating the thread with what you did to fix it?
