51nikopol: It has been awhile since I played the games but it is mostly about exploring and picking up items to be used to advance in the game.

Nirth: I never played Myst but I see that I own one of them on GOG. Is this game mostly about puzzles and if so, what kind?

SirPrimalform: They're usually environmental puzzles - broken machines, locks etc. - solved by finding clues elsewhere in the environment. I love them to bits.

Nirth: That sounds more my style. Can't say I enjoyed those old adventure games where you had to pick up hundreds of items where far too many was useless.

zeogold: Wait, what?!
CYAN'S MAKING A SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR TO MYST?!!?!!?!?

ssgames4u: It took me a while to find a configuration of electronic components and connections that would even allow me to load the game. I found that Windows 10 works better than Windows 7 and Wifi connection is probably not fast enough, so I keep my Windows 10 laptop directly connected to my cable modem during the game. I notice the game takes 100% fo my active memory when I play it, so I assume that's why the screens often get stuck loading. I find that sometimes the game loads quickly, after less than a minute. Often it gets stuck for a long time, and I have to force quit and reload the game.

That being said, I'm making very slow progress in the game. I rarely have time to deal with the roulette of whether the game will load or not.

So here is my question: a rather preliminary one for most of you, probably:

DOES THE GAME SOMETIMES JUST REQUIRE WAITING TO GET OUT OF CERTAIN AREAS? When I first touched the acorn and was surrounded by the twinkling lights, there was no way out. I let it sit for hours and nothing happened. Finally once after reloading the game, I had arrived in Hunrath. The twinkling lights were gone.

The same thing happened when I fell through some train tracks over water. At first I ended up looking up at the area I'd just been in, and when I restarted, I was in the tunnel beneath the tree with no idea how I got there, and I couldn't move. When I restarted the game again, I could move again, so it seems like a glitch in the loading when you move from one part of the game to another. You get the graphics, but you can't move until you restart the game.

Now I'm just stuck in the tree well running in circles with no way out. Not much fun. I've looked at the door (no way to open it), the tree (no way to climb it), the walls (no passage, no way to climb), I've examined every rock and rivet, and when I go down into the tree tunnel, somehow it loops me back up to where I started.

pincaviglia86: I do not understand something. when you obtain the track vehicle... You are able to destroy the red laser and two blocked areas..... Even though you cannot get a straight, dead on shooting angle on either of the three. Also, you can clearly see that, if you could turn the track vehicle a full 180 degrees... You would then be able to "easily" target those areas you could not target before. However, once you do get the vehicle turned around..... Surprise.... You cannot destroy the blocked areas even with a head on target angle!! If these areas were not meant to be destroyed to start with.... Then why put the solution for turning the vehicle 180 degrees behind a door that cannot be opened from the outside. This makes you work for a solution that is totally useless to begin with. I'm sorry... But in a game that requires a lot of reasoning and brainwork....making people "work" for a solution that ultimately is useless is just plain wrong. Along with the " Do you expect a medal for starting the generator?" Comment, and this.... It makes me think that Cyan views themselves as Hilliary and that we belong in their Deplorable basket.

Vegpot: Hi
I recently purchased Obduction in a Gog sale, but downloaded it onto a laptop that isn't compatible, on launch the game is complaining about global shader and cooked content, from checking on the web this seems to mean the graphics capability of my laptop is not enough to run the game? My question is though, I want to uninstall it from the laptop it's on, and download/re-install it onto my Alienware which I hope should be able to run it. I made the mistake of thinking that I could run the game on any of my devices once I'd bought it but Gog is giving me the message that I have already downloaded the game if I try and download it onto a different device, so I don't know how to get out of this and I can't find how to contact the right person at Gog about it - help, anybody!
