Telltale Games

skicamel · 07/10/2009, 06:54 pm

MaGoo:
Just doing some text comparisons between the earlier launchers and the current, a number of things had changed. For a quick demonstration, open the index.html that the launcher creates (Start the launcher, Start-->Run--> type %temp% click enter. Sort by date, find the folder the launcher created...). The earlier index.html opened alone will open as a web page with a number of portions of the launcher showing. If you try to open the newer launcher (most noticeable in IE), it will continuously reload itself. Not that this has anything to do with the problem, but just a generic example that the underlying code has changed.

I gathered from another poster somewhere that another version was able to be run by bypassing the launcher. That's not possible with the version downloaded from Telltale, but I am curious if the issue isn't the launcher alone. I understand the need to update things as you go, as the hackers have always hacked the last version, so I wouldn't suggest re-implementing an earlier version, but it might be worth looking at in the short term, even if just emailing those being vocal with a workaround. I'm really curious if this would launch with no problems if the launcher wasn't a part of the process.

My hard drive is parted in two partitions. Game partition (were ToMI is) has over 80 GB free, System partition nearly 80 GB free.

one monitor only (it`s a notebook).

No item in the task bar, but right clicking on the process gives me the options:
open path
end process
end process structure
virtualisize
make an Image
determine priority
determine membership/belonging
properties/qualities
change to service

My windows isn`t in english, therefore I translated the options, hope you could identify what they are.

One option is grey: troubleshooting/fault diagnostic.

I only have 11GB free, but from the sound of the other posters this wouldn't be the problem. Single monitor. And again, like the others, no taskbar item, just a process in the task manager.

Really stupid answers time!

- I've got ~6 GB of space left on the first partition, where I installed TomI
- around 90 GB left on an other partition (tried installing there to, but no changes)
- I only have 1 monitor (LG Flatron W2242T)
- There is no item in my task bar

Does this help?

hi my name is guybrush and i want 2 be a pirate..just kidding...
i got teh same problem, just a process which is doing nothing
ehm..
iam using a desktop pc, relatively fast (fast enough to deal with monkey island and lechuck companions), one screen, one wlan adapter, no antivir, winXP pro x64 version 2003 SP2, IE6 (but iam using firefox)

i think it could be a problem with the IE, cause in all cases there is no launcher (maybe iam wrong but in my opinion most gamelaunchers are "using" IE)

(i really know that it won't solve the problem but i will stay here and press F5 5times per minute, seriously: i don't have an idea to get rid of it)

brimtastic · 07/11/2009, 04:02 am

Could this be a browser problem then? I've recently "upgraded" to IE8, but I use Firefox of course. I also have IE8 64-bit.

benben · 07/11/2009, 04:29 am

Same Problem here.
But Sam and Max works just fine if that is any help.

Well, it didn't work with IE7, then I tried the windows upgrades (including IE8) and it still doesn't work. :/

the_boo · 07/11/2009, 08:01 am

It's probably not related to IE, I would imagine that there is some specific process that is running that is causing a conflict, best thing for people to do would be to run hijack this or something else that lists your processes so we can find a common thread.

aSak · 07/11/2009, 08:03 am

Will post log in a few minutes, I guess.

Saturday evening and I can't play ToMI. WOOOAAAAAH!

zirkus · 07/11/2009, 12:29 pm

we could organise us into a self-help group, i don't know the right english term for such a thing. what a pity!

aSak · 07/11/2009, 12:31 pm

"Was glaubst du denn, was wir hier tun?"

- What do you think are we doing here? I don't know if Telltale is actually working on this problem, but I hope so.

Moonlight · 07/11/2009, 01:37 pm

guys give them their well deserved break at the weekend!

I`m eager to play the game too, but I can see that the weeks before and after a new game are packed with work. This weekend`s us, next others though they wouldn`t get free time for a few weeks.

aSak · 07/11/2009, 01:45 pm

I really do appreciate Telltale's good support and I am willing to give them their free weekend. But... without Guybrush, my life just isn't complete.

I'm really curious if this would launch with no problems if the launcher wasn't a part of the process.

Interesting. I dropped that into IE8, and FF. FF just dropped it due to a lack of ActiveX (expected), but the posts were borked, and from analysis they're linked to the control.

IE8 went into some sort of EPIC panic. It kept trying to load something unattainable. I worked out what's failing, but given my laptop and desktop run the same versions of things, I cannot work out why.

zirkus Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 10	hi my name is guybrush and i want 2 be a pirate..just kidding... i got teh same problem, just a process which is doing nothing ehm.. iam using a desktop pc, relatively fast (fast enough to deal with monkey island and lechuck companions), one screen, one wlan adapter, no antivir, winXP pro x64 version 2003 SP2, IE6 (but iam using firefox) i think it could be a problem with the IE, cause in all cases there is no launcher (maybe iam wrong but in my opinion most gamelaunchers are "using" IE) (i really know that it won't solve the problem but i will stay here and press F5 5times per minute, seriously: i don't have an idea to get rid of it) Last edited by zirkus; 07/11/2009 at 04:03 am.

brimtastic Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 11	I only have 11GB free, but from the sound of the other posters this wouldn't be the problem. Single monitor. And again, like the others, no taskbar item, just a process in the task manager.

brimtastic Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 11	Could this be a browser problem then? I've recently "upgraded" to IE8, but I use Firefox of course. I also have IE8 64-bit.

the_boo Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 43	It's probably not related to IE, I would imagine that there is some specific process that is running that is causing a conflict, best thing for people to do would be to run hijack this or something else that lists your processes so we can find a common thread.
