Thanks for the info, but it's no big deal for me. I'll do just fine without it. :)

I am suffering from the same error as mentioned above... any new ideas?

I have the same "black screen" and freeze problem. Windows 7 64-bit SP1 running on ThinkPad X220i laptop. Played with admin rights and compatibility settings but nothing helped.

I can switch between one issue an another. If I select my GEForce 540M as default graphic device in my nvidia config screen, I get a black screen and crash.

If I select the integrated driver I get 1 frame from the intro screen and can alt-tab out and in only to be stuck in the main menu screen.

Any new ideas or developments?

Hi all,

still no success for me :(

I think i tried everything forum's suggested to solve the issue ... but nothing worked :)

As stated above, i also have 2 graphic cards but the only difference i see when disabling one is that the game gets stuck a bit faster lol


Anyway, i just played some uakm, and it is really too old now, couldn't keep playing it hehehe


cheers,

I can't get Overseer run under Windows 7 64-bit either. I have a Thinkpad X220 (i3 processor) with Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics. I only get the first frame of the opening video of the Access logo (but the sound plays correctly) and when I ALT-TAB out and into the game, I can see the menu but the mouse is frozen.

The game itself is not completely frozen though, since pressing F1 or F9 will eventually bring up either the help or config menu, but that's about it.

I've done the obvious things - updated to the latest drivers from Intel's website, set the processor affinity and also played with video settings in Tex.ini a bit, but so far no luck.

I had a very similar problem with Pandora. The solution was simple. You must allow the Acces Software logo sequence to play through. If I clicked my way out of it, the very same thing happened to me in PD what you described.

Overseer runs fine on my desktop, won't run (in the same way as described by others in this thread) on my laptop, both Windows 7 64. Pretty much the exact same problem described in this thread occurs with Zork Grand Inquisitor on my laptop and no problem at all on my desktop. This is a known problem with some GoG games on laptop that they are aware of and either can't fix or won't devote the proper attention to fixing. Responses I got on Zork Grand Inquisitor from GoG support were ridiculous, and they soon just stopped responding when their suggestions failed.

i tired to play overseer tonight & found fast video flashing whichmade the game unplayable,
reverted back to nvidea driver 280. seems like that last 2 newest drivers I had installed do not work with overseer, so if you guys might want to try a previous driver

night have to run it on a pc with dedicated graphics card

Just installed Overseer, ran into the same problem as the OP and fixed it with your advice. Thank you very much, Cixelsid.

So I have laptop with a a win7 64 bit and a Intel GMA HD (which is I assume is similar to your Intel HD) and got the same problem as you, music and sound is there, but video is frozen. I managed to get to "fix" the problem by applying the workaround to get videos working in The Longest Journey: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_longest_journey_dreamfall/an_fmv_graphics_question_once_again

The workaround I am talking about is the one posted by user Gmr_Leon:

"(Note, this is a solution in reference to Intel integrated graphics cards, so it may not apply to other setups. However, it may be worth trying nonetheless, especially if you've tried just about everything else.)
1. Right click on Desktop
2. Select Screen Resolution
3. Click Detect (with no additional monitor connected)
4. Next to your first display, you'll see a grey square with the text "Another display not detected" Click on the grey square
5. Next to "Multiple displays" it will say "No display detected"
6. Click on "No display detected"
7. A drop-down menu will appear
8. Select "Try to connect anyway on: VGA"
9. Click on your primary display (the square with the big "1" in it)
10. Next to "Multiple displays" select "Extend these displays"

This workaround might seem really strange, but I can assure you it worked for me. Managed to get as far as getting the case from Sylvia in Tex's office before I saved, quit and went to bed last night.

If anyone still cares, Overseer seems to be working now with the current Intel HD graphics driver (version 2761). I've only played through the intro but so far everything's fine.

This is what did it for me. The game seems to be working perfectly. Thank you Artigkar and Gmr_Leon :-)
