So apparently you guys inadvertently fixed whatever my problems were. I installed the Episode 3 full build and I'm playing episode 2 now successfully. There are still graphical glitches like that initial logo or loading screen being stretched out and some of the textures not working properly (just on the trees on the Isle of Mists so far). I also noted that when launched through Steam, the Steam graphical overlay UI doesn't show up (Shift-Tab). Oh well.

I'm also a little disappointed to discover you did not implement my suggestion of middle-click always toggles between the walk icon and the previously selected icon (be it look, user, talk, or an inventory object). Was that not possible? Or was it just forgotten? I'd love to see it implemented as all Sierra P&C games had this feature including AGDI's remakes.

We actually had so many other weird cursor crap things come up that we were trying to fix right up until the last second that we didn't even make it to looking at this, but it is still on the table (hopefully will make it in for Episode 4). Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for putting it back on the table.

I managed to download it last night. Couldn't stay away, really and got really far into the game, though getting stuck in certain parts at times, I confess:

[spoiler] chess piece puzzle got me stumped for a while [/spoiler]

I love this episode. It's fabulous. I love [spoiler] music in AD hut and I really enjoy wherre this went plotwise and into the characters. Beautiful background in the Tower part of the game- and that arcade part was really something though cnfusing at first.[/spoiler] It's quite riveting and wholly beautiful.

I have been having some problems with stability. I'm running windows vista 32bit, home basic, game in windowed mode, with smaller resolution than defeault. The game keeps crashing every now and then - CPU is fine. nothing else is running except the game and com puter is not overheated- though it does heat up quicker when running the game. It seems at points of transition or saving - black screen a while and then it even jumps right back or crashes.

Hmmm, trying to download the full install, but it's only downloading a 36 meg file. You guys know about this?

Edit: Nevermind, spoke too soon. Weird, I tried it on two different machines trying to download multiple times and it only kept downloading a 36 meg file. Tried it again after posting this and it worked!

It could be a bad mirror. I noticed that on day one (and likely still now) there were multiple mirrors that the download button redirected you to. So you probably happened to randomly get the bad mirror twice in a row.

Yeah we still have multiple mirrors and I'm working on replacing them throughout the day - I didn't notice that one of mine only got a partial file so I removed it.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't download the full build. I've tried IE (I'm at my friends house and he only has IE and the beta of Firefox 4) and Firefox 4, and no luck. I've tried several times. Are the mirrors down at all?

This is the error message I'm getting:

Not Found (404)

So I tried to download the full build today, I clicked on the download link which would usually spring up with the download itself and it said the URL was not available. Could this be fixed please? Thanks!

I just got that same problem myself. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. *pokes weldon*

Whoops, I forgot to fix a mirror name, it's up now, sorry!

There's only one mirror up with the full build right now and it's one that still needs to be patched - we'll have more fixed mirrors up later today.
