Archived from groups: alt>games>myst (more info?)

Hello,

I got my hands on an copy of Myst Masterpiece, and it's fun to play,
even for a rather old game like this.

However, when i save a game, and reloads the game-file, i am always
returned to the same place (the library, looking up into the dome), no
matter what i call the file, nor where i place it on the disk.

There's a post or two in this group, that suggests this is a bug
resolved in patch v.1.01, but i cannot find the patch anywhere on the
net.

I'm on XP.

Can anybody help with a DL link (or an explanation) ?

Jesper

It's been a few years since I played Myst, but, I believe, that is the
normal behavior of Myst save games. No matter where you are on Myst Island
when you save, you will start in the Library, looking at the ceiling. Don't
worry, though; the important thing is that all of your progress is saved
(i.e. switches and levers and other such stuff), and it is. This behavior
is unusual in the video game world and does take some getting used to.

Mm, I found that it was saved in a default position in each Age, depending
on which I saved in.

However, I found that if I saved when an Age was only partially completed,
then I would have to do it all again.

This was frustrating when it resulted in me having to do the Rocket one
about 8 times. (also because it crashed a few times). I gave up on it and
started Riven by that point!

Turns out you are absolutely right Wink
I musta panicked, when i thought my girlfriend had overwritten my
saved game.

And btw. i have no problems playing, even with Flash 6.5/Directx9 (or
something), unless i flash the mouse too much and too fast.

Thank you very much.

Jesper
