Telltale Games

ouenwoof · 09/04/2010, 12:41 pm

I installed all the games of the bundle last night, and while the other games work fine, Penny Arcade Adventures just gives me a black screen, with a red streak wherever I drag my mouse. Any idea what this could be or how to fix it?

Same issue here. Running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit.

nobodygaming · 09/04/2010, 07:37 pm

same thing here but with 32bit win7

Have you guys tried updating your Video Card Drivers? If that doesn't work and you're running ATI Cards on the latest drivers, you could try rolling the drivers back to a previous version.

nobodygaming · 09/04/2010, 08:32 pm

I was using a previous ATI driver and that had Open GL issues

I have the same problem. Managed to get it work by launching Penny from it's own folder and not from Adventure Bundle launcher.

ilande · 09/05/2010, 12:42 pm

I have this issue too. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I shouldn't have to downgrade my video card to play the game, I'm sure there is a better fix. Is this an issue with the file itself? Thanks!

Also, running the program for the folder itself rather than the Bundle launcher led to an error saying it was already running (which it wasn't) ...mysterious...

Same problem here with vista 32.
Trying to launch from game folder doesn't work.
And when I close the black window, I additionally have to end the process in the taskmanager.
I was so excited about this whole bundle and now there are bugs everywhere

But I put my trust in Telltale that there's a fix soon.

I am not getting that problem I am running from the app .exe rather then using the launcher to start it.

Worked for me, too.

ouenwoof · 09/06/2010, 04:09 pm

Oh cool, that worked for me as well. Someone should probably make an FAQ thread at this point for all Adventure Game Bundle-related issues...

Kiku · 09/07/2010, 11:41 am

Doesn't work for me

. Either way I just get a black window with red dots when I drag my mouse over it, then the window gets all white and I have to stop the process via the task manager.

nimajneb7 · 09/07/2010, 12:10 pm

I have this problem too. Launching the game directly doesn't help either.

GothofCookie · 09/07/2010, 03:38 pm

So much trouble for a couple of old games? What screwed it up? All the games work if you didn't buy it in the boundle...

Kemayo · 09/07/2010, 08:24 pm

Running from the folder also fixes it for me. However, once I get to character creation I can't see the character I'm making; there's just an empty frame around where the character would be.

Kemayo · 09/07/2010, 08:42 pm

Aha. Lowering graphics quality to "standard" gets me 3d models appearing. So that at least works.

duckwaltz · 09/08/2010, 08:44 am

I also have this problem. Regardless of compatibility mode or from where I start the program I receive only a black windows with red dots streaking as I move my mouse. Has anyone found any further solutions to this problem??

Guinea · 09/09/2010, 06:22 am

I have the same problem.
PAA was the first game I installed, so Idk how well the others work, but I hope there is going to be a fix eventually.
I mean, I bought the bundle for the opportunity to get the games in the first place, so I can wait some time to play, but I really hope this and the apparent other games' issues get fixed eventually.

Win7 x64 Professional, ATI 5800 Series here.

Cloud_PS · 09/10/2010, 10:44 pm

Same Problem here. WinXP 32Bit, Radeon 5670 (Catalyst 10.8).

LynneD · 09/11/2010, 07:42 am

I have the same problem as other posters here, does anyone have a solution? I've tried all the other fixes, "run as administrator" compatibility issues, uninstalling and reinstalling....I am running Win 7 32bit, and IE 8...
Edit to add: ATI Raedon 2600 pro video card
