Hi, i need help with this game from 2011. I've tried every solution i could find on Google and nothing works. The game always crashes to desktop. If you want to help me, you can download the demo from BigFishGames for free. The demo is exactly the same as the full game only with a 1 hour play limit, so any solution or setting will work on the demo and full game. Its not a popular casual game, so it has been impossible to find a solution. Thanks for your time and your help.

What system are you on?

AMD APU = A10-7800 from 2014 = running Win10 Pro

Oops! I just noticed: you even put it in the thread's title - I completely missed that. Sorry.

Ok, so today, I found the time to "look into this".

Small caveat: I didn't use "BigFishGames", but a site called "Deutschland Spielt", to download the same(?) 60 minutes playtime demo (language setting is restricted to German).
Just so you know. I don't know whether that makes any difference.

Result: the game/demo could be installed and started without any hiccups.

I didn't play through the whole 60 minutes, but only through the first ten minutes or so, since you only asked for help in regard to CTDs (at the start of the game/demo?) - which I didn't encounter.
So - there was nothing I could have looked further into.

I'm also on Win10, btw.
I didn't have to "run as administrator" or anything.
I could simply download, install and play the game/demo.

Sorry, that's probably not very helpful to you, but that's all I can say.
(have you tried to contact BFG? Maybe they can help you? Maybe there's an updated file available?)

Thanks for taking the time to test the demo. Looks like it might be my PC with AMD integrated graphics. I plan to try on another PC with Ryzen 3 + RX 570 card and see if it works on there. I will let you know the result. Thanks again.

You're welcome!
Good luck!

I just noticed, that I forgot to add two screenshots from my test to my last post.
Well, better late then never... ;-)
