Telltale Games

skumbag70 · 09/19/2009, 02:11 am

G'day guys have a bit of a problem. I just recently purchased the Strongbad Season 1 Pack on Steam. I've played through and finished 1-4 but I cannot run number 5. My PC is Windows XP SP3, Quad Core, 8GB Ram (Only 3 recognised on XP), 2GB 4870X2 (DxDiag attached). 1-4 still boot perfectly and run sweetly. But number 5, when I double click on it I get the error message "This program has encountered a blah blah". This happens before the game launches... Any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail.

Code:

Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2
Current Mode: 1920 x 1200 (16 bit) (60Hz)

16 bit color depth is a known cause for that error with Telltale Games. It should work if you set it to 32 bit.
I would have expected the other Episodes not to work as well though.

You might also consider updating your drivers:
