broken sword 3 is broken (for me)

[highpingdrifter]

i have tried everything to get this game to start and nothing works,the game installs fine but stops responding when trying to load.
i have been lurking here http://www.revgames.com/_forum.php?id=3 in the tech support forum and see it affects nvidia and ati so i'm not blaming drivers just wondering if anyone else has this running ok.

I installed the game but it wouldn't load.
I found out how you solve the problem on a different forum so I thoughht I would tell you all.
I couldnt believe it when I got my game to work.
The problem was the refresh rate.
You can change it by

Go to my computer

click on control panel

Click on dislay

Click on settings

Click on advanced

Click on moniter

Then change it to 60HZ

It worked for me I hope it can work for you as well

No problem with the game here (except that im stuck on a puzzle )

Although im not using refreshforce (I actually like 60hz, call me crazy)

[highpingdrifter]

yeah like i said i have been following that forum and i have tried the 60Hz setting but it still does not work.
looks like i may be returning this one

Is it possible for you to try older drivers? My specs are in my sig and I use Catalyst 3.7 (haven't had any problems with any games except the 16/32bit problem in Quake3 games) and Broken Sword 3 works fine for me.

It's really an excellent game, classic adventure style and very smooth interface, especially with a gamepad (sit back and enjoy). Try to get it working if you haven't returned it yet. Very nice graphics as well, and smooth since it's mostly static and not FPS style action, I run 1600x1200 4X AA 8X AF and haven't seen anything slowdown yet, looks gorgeous (except the 3D engine has some minor model clipping issues).

I played through the game on Friday and had no problems whatsoever. First game I've been able to sit down and play through all at one time in a long time. BTW it took me around 13 hours. My ass was sore from sitting around that long

Damn that's long, sometimes I can play CS/DOD/Wolf: ET for 8-9 hours if my friend is over on LAN but not a single player game. I'm around 4 hours now, I'm in Paris with George doing another damn crate puzzle in the old building. Fun.

Try to start it in SAFE mode from within the Broken Sword directory i think that would solve your problem.. Once in safe mode set a other resolution and you can play
