Renodil: when I run it and select new game, or that is to say, when I get to the area where you can start a new game or load or whatever, when I tap on the first blank slot at the top, the play button remains inactive, grayed out. I cannot start a new game for the life of me.

Renodil: Okay, so I've sent a support request into GOG and I'm still waiting on a response. And in the meantime, I thought I'd post my issue here and hope maybe the community has had the same issue and someone has found the answer. I've downloaded and installed Tachyon: The Fringe yesterday, but when I run it and select new game, or that is to say, when I get to the area where you can start a new game or load or whatever, when I tap on the first blank slot at the top, the play button remains inactive, grayed out. I cannot start a new game for the life of me. Now, I've been wanting to play this game again for like ever. I finally buy the dang thing, only to find out that it's not working. And you can imagine how upset I am right now. I want to get this game working so I can play it, either that or I want a refund, seriously. So could somebody please help? Thank you.

Yigdboz: From the currently first thread at the top in the Tachyon: The Fringe subforum:

"When selecting Single Player, it says to select a slot then click 'Play'

But Play doesn't become highlighted, only 'Back'

This is obviously a Load Game screen but I can't see how to actually start! (Duh!)

Resolved! I needed to type in a user name (Doh!).

Isn't it wonderful what a nights sleep will do for you."
