POKER NIGHT: Graphics, FrameRate, Slow Mice, etc (problems / solutions).

Help them help us...

So that Telltale can work on getting a fix made, released sooner, please provide a description of the issue in detail and what your system specs are.

System Specs help alot, so please provide as much as you can.

My GeForce 8300 GS usually doesn't run Telltale's games all that well, but Poker Night runs sluggish even on setting 1, and Tycho's nose disappears when he's looking at the screen. I'm trying to figure out how to change the settings to fix the latter, but no luck so far.

[CoolJosh3k]

I cannot get the graphics to change.

When I change it to "1" there is no difference. Other than that everything seems ok.

Okay, turns out Tycho gets a nose on graphics levels above one. Unfortunately, even two is painfully sluggish, so I guess I'll just have to look at this the whole time:

Well, first and foremost, the game WON'T START no matter how many times I reboot. I have no other programs running, the game worked once, now it's being a massive bitch, showing the first screen and then, not crashing, just not responding.

And what are your symptoms?

What are your specs? Can you get them?

I'm busy moving Support Queries to the... Support Forum.

I might let this one stand in here though in the hope the solutions that are being posted in the Support Forum get reposted here and people look at this thread rather than start yet another of their own covering the same ground.

Hang on... OK;

32-bit Toshiba Notebook

Processor: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 585 @ 2.16GHz
Memory: 4GB
HDD: 130GB, 8GB free

256MB Radeon x1550 GPU, 2GB RAM, Intel Dualcore 2.0 GHZ CPU

FPS rate suffers, mouse moving sluggishly even in Quality setting 1, menu looks weird.

Just a slow but still playable everything at the lowest settings, which feels weird because it could handle The Devil's Playhouse really well.

[RAnthonyMahan]

I have no graphics. Everything is pitch black except for the menu at the beginning, and even there the options are blank. (For example, I see the word "DIFFICULTY" but there's a blank space where the current difficulty setting should be.) I've got a thread on the Support forum explaining things in more detail.

Now I am scared. I hope it will run on my PC at all. *keeps fingers crossed*

RAM: 6 GB
Graphics: Intel G33/G31

I have the same problem that many people do as described in this thread. After the Telltale logo, I get the menu screen with a black background. If I click play, I can hear the sounds of the game starting, but see nothing but blackness. If I try to change the screen resolution/aspect ratio or switch the game from full screen to windowed mode, it crashes. This is the first Telltale game I've ever had this problem with. "Devil's Playhouse" was slow at times, but I was able to play all episodes all the way through with no problems.

[jp-30]

Mine was a bit sluggish, but OK. Shadows were ugly and jaggied. Turned them off completely (and turned off subtitles) and now it's running great.

[GuruGuru214]

Not graphics, but as an appropriate place to post this as I knew of. Turning off bleeps doesn't work perfectly. I suppose that's better than the reverse, though.

[Origami]

So if I get a new Laptop, what Videocard do you recommend me to get?

I want to be able to play this and BttF easily.

[lqstuart]

I played it once successfully (slow as fuck but the game loaded up), I changed the resolution and now this is all I get. There's no menu text. I have to alt+f4 to close back out. I've reinstalled three times. Any thoughts? Does anybody know where the save or config files are located?

[jp-30]

Don't forget to keep an eye on the threads in the Support Forum to see if anyone is experiencing the same problems as yourself and finding workarounds.

Ah, I love my XP and its uncanny ability to never be incompatible with contemporary PC games. Except those that have an OS restriction, of course.

On that note, 64-bit Vistas/7s seem to have a lot more problems than their 32-bit counterparts. Befitting of Microsoft, 'tis.
