Hi all,
I just purchased the game and when I try to load it and it enters the game menu, it just displays corrupted graphics (usually of whatever image happens to be behind it on my desktop). Any ideas on what can be done to fix this?

My computer is a:
Macbook Pro 13", Early 2011
2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

Hi!

We're sorry to hear you are experiencing problems. From what I can see this seems to be an issue with running out of graphics memory. We'll be updating the minimum system requirements and we will be looking into a potential solution for this in an upcoming release, hopefully in the coming week. In the meantime I don't think there is much you can do on your side except for closing as many other apps running in the background as possible, unfortunately.

Hi,

Just wanted to give you an update on this issue. We've been able to drastically reduce the graphics memory used and will be updating the game as soon as possible. I'll post here when that happens and we can check if this fixes your issues.

Thank you.
Just wanted to let you know what we've pushed 0.2.1.1002 live which reduces the video memory usage. Please let us know if this resolves your issue!

I updated the game file through GOG Galaxy, and it still had the same problem.

I have also noticed that you have updated the video memory requirements to 1 GB, which is beyond what my MBP has. Is there any chance that this will receive more updates to further reduce video memory requirements?
Hi. Sorry to hear you're still having problems. We put that requirement there to put a number on it to not mislead people.

The game should use about 128 MB of video memory now which leads me to believe that it might not be a memory issue after all. We will put in some more thorough diagnostics in a special build I can give you access too, hopefully later this week.

So have there been any updates with respect to this issue?
Yes. I'm sorry for the late response, we've been quite busy!

As we do not yet know for certain what's causing this issue, we've created a separate channel which contains a diagnostics build. Here's a guide on how to access it: https://galaxy-support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001756065-Accessing-Beta-Channels-in-the-GOG-Galaxy-Client?flash_digest=23c61371af637fcd6b9c3dc773b59ea60fcfbd0f

The password for the channel is tRl0ay33 and the channel should show up as "diagnostics".

We did some small changes which might help with the issue, but in any case we've also added a lot of debugging information. Please send us a copy of the log if it does not sort out the issue!
I tried running the diagnostic build and got the same result, here is the log:

Hi,

With this information we're unable to reproduce your problem and I am unsure of when, or if, we can resolve it. Unfortunately, I think your best bet currently would perhaps be to refund or try the game on another system.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hello.
The description for the game says:
"Enjoy the entrancing, 45 minute long, original soundtrack in its uncompressed format."
But it doesn't list it as an extra/goodie and it's not for sale anywhere?
