Title: Black screen on linux after many hours of gaming
Post by: Rémi on March 15, 2010, 04:31:41 pm
Hi everybody,

I start to explain i'm french so my english is ...hum....hum....french  ;)
What is my problem. I've install the game on a linux xubuntu 9.10 (kk). I've played the game many hours. I arrived in the level with a ascensor. This is the ascensor with a plant and an robot-aspirator. I do what i have to do to join the second floor and when i click to go out the ascensor, my screen is black and I couldn't click anywhere. I can only click on menu game . It is normal ? What's the matter ?

Thanks.

ascenseur = elevator, yes? 
Have you installed the most recent patches (http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,734.msg3588.html#msg3588)?  (make sure you install Patch 1 and then follow with Patch 2)

Au fait ...this online translator (http://www.stars21.com/translator/) has been very helpful for me in the past.  Par exemple, je ne peux ni lire ni écrire en français.  ¶:^)

I'd try to uninstall, delete folders, etc., and re-install the whole game - make a backup of your savegames first!!

There is a "sticky" thread about the location of those files.
Here it is http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,463.0.html
