No dialog box HELP!!!!

#1 by aharris29 - Dec 16 2007

There is no dialog box appearing after the escaping the police puzzle, when the car pulls up. Please help

If the dialog box actually vanished, you probably have the rare bug where the file gets mangled - this can be fixed by replacing the file, I'll email you a copy.

What point were you at?

Basically, in some versions there's a rare bug where the phase of the moon or something similarly ridiculous makes windows decide to EAT one of your files. So all the text after a random point completely vanishes, and therefore there is no dialog box.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the game would restore the broken file but it would also remove all your progress in the game as far as skipping goes, so if you tell me exactly where you were when it went boom I can send you the dialog file for that chapter.

(Also, let me know where you got the game from so I can trace who's still got that old version...)

I've been having that problem but I've also found that clicking the right mouse button brings the text back up. I downloaded my game from Big Fish Games

No, that's different

Clicking the right mouse button hides the dialog box briefly so that you can see the full picture behind it without the text getting in the way. Clicking the right mouse button again brings the dialog box back. That's not a bug.
