Issues fixed[edit]
Crashes on launch on Windows 10 Boot Camp[edit]
The game may crash a few seconds into the gameplay when run on Windows 10 via Boot Camp.
|
Run in compatibility mode
|
- Enable Compatibility with "Windows 98 / Windows Me" and "Run as administrator" in the properties of
dreamfall.exe
|
Retail version won't run on Windows 10[edit]
The retail release (Any version: 6 CD, 1 DVD, or 1 DVD Game of the Year Edition) will refuse to launch on modern Windows, without even producing an error message.
|
Use fixed EXE
|
- Download the fixed EXE here and extract it to Dreamfall: TLJ's game installation directory. jackfuste's ultra-widescreen fix will work as well, though this isn't recommended for those using standard 16:9 resolutions.
|
Characters get stuck in cutscenes[edit]
Bug Example: In a Chapter 5 cutscene, Zoë and Damien may get stuck walking in place through the stairwell doorway.
|
Run in compatibility mode
|
- Enable Compatibility with "Windows 98 / Windows Me" and "Run as administrator" in the properties of
dreamfall.exe. This will ensure characters eventually progress the cutscene in anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds.
|
|
Press keys to force the game to continue
|
- Press Print Screen to take a screenshot, which makes the game resume its animation routine. (This solution is the least intrusive.)
- Press the Windows Key to lose focus of the game window, then click on the game from the taskbar to resume play.
- Alt-Tab in and out of the game, another method of losing focus.
