Hey guys,

Issue:
Immediately after arriving on the beach, I picked up the rope and tied it to the tree in the area to the left. The game crashes upon attempting to descend when the screen fades to black.

My Attempts:
By default I am not running any sort of acceleration, so there is no need to uncheck "Enable 3D Acceleration" box. I have attempted verify/repair files, running compatibility. I also tried to submit a ticket, which sent me to deal with this asinine and unhelpful virtual assistant. It won't let me upload my DxDiag to get an assist from a GOG technician. So here I am.

Extra:
The game also has a history of crashing after a while. I haven't timed it exactly, but I'm guessing in the ballpark of 1-2 hours. It will do so without warning, usually when I try to interact with something or move to a new zone. Usually this has only resulted in minor setbacks since I save relatively frequently, but it is something I'd like resolved.

Thanks in advance if anyone has a solution to either of these issues.

Could you clarify which title you're refering to? This is for the original The Longest Journey game, correct? (the setting sounds vaguely familiar).

I would suggest playing the game with ScummVM (2.7.0 or a daily development build of 2.8git) to see if it performs better and is more stable (and also you could try the HD mod with it that way). But you seem not to be very early in the game and I don't think ScummVM imports original saved games (I may be wrong about that).

Right, sorry about that.
This is for the original Longest Journey.
