Title: Saving works, but loading is bogus
Post by: wolfomat on March 24, 2013, 04:27:33 pm
Hi,

today i purchased machinarium and i really enjoy it. (running von windows 7 pro 64 bit).

but when i save the game, it will be saved. but when i try to load it, it doesn't work !!!!
the *.sol file in that flash-folder is available and the "date modified" will be changed after saving the game. even the icons are created. but "loading" the game will be the same result: it will start from the beginng of the game.

so... please help me here - i'd like to play through this game (which is not always common for me) but the load-problem f***s me of :D

but nice game :)

but the screenresolution thingy - i cant get if fixed, even not with the solution presentend here.

So you're running Windows 7.  (until you mentioned running in XP2 compatibility mode we had no clue how to begin to help you)  :-\   

And you didn't leave ANY hints about what the "screenresolution thingy" you mention might be.

So let's see if we can guess what your NEXT question will be!

Ahhh...

Sorry wolfomat, AFAIK due to the way the game was originally coded there is no way to eliminate the black border.
