Changelog for update GOG-2 (added 04.09.2015):

- A ton of Minor glitches fixed
- A crash found in chapter 1 and another in chapter 3
- Missing text in the bar in chapter 3
- Sound fixes

If you are experiencing the Loading screen error, that it won't progress after a long long time, we are still screaming at the computers on that. However, you can try this:

If your computer has two graphic cards you can switch between, try the other one! This has solved it for a some people. We don't have the opportunity to test this ourselves unfortunately.

If you see a lot of white textures / boxes, switching to your other graphic card will solve this too! Especially if you are using INTEL CHIPSET CARDS!

Other fixes for the same problem:
You need to create a Shortcut to the game on the desktop. This is where we will add in the parameters to be passed to the *.exe (to create a shortcut, right-click the game executable and then Send to > Desktop (create shortcut) .

-intel or -vanillagfx or -software

and a user found a more simple way to missing textures or loading-forever:
"so for anyone with an nvidia driver; they can open their nvidia configuration panel, go to "manage 3d settings" and choose "High Performance Integrated Graphics" This should work even without a nvidia, as long as you can manage those settings somehow.

Hope some of these tricks can help you experience the Fran Bow journey! Thank you all for the nice words! We are doing our best to be here for you all!


Best regards,
Natalia & Isak

I am having the feather problem in Chapter 2 and cannot proceed further. I see this was fixed apparently in an update. I just downloaded this game (although it has been in my library for awhile) and don't know if this fix was installed. How would I determine this or how do I move forward in the game? Thanks.

I'm just a normal customer and no one from GOG support, but I guess you just have to start the updated game and load your last save (I hope you didn't delete them when you reinstalled). If that doesn't solve your problem, you should write to support or ask the community for a working savegame.

I think this post will help: https://www.gog.com/forum/fran_bow/stuck_in_chapter_2_part_1_1/post2. Sorry for your inconvenience, a0chptes. If it doesn't help, please post again in that thread.
