Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 There is something that would be a big help. Steam just came out with a new beta client, and I think it fixes the problem. At least, it works for me on 2 machines. If someone wanted, they could launch Steam, go onto Settings, and in the Account tab, choose to download the beta client (under "Beta participation"). After it is installed, relaunch Steam and try Avernum 4 or 5. If you try this and it works, please post the results in this thread. I think the nightmare might be almost over. - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora analog_line Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Followed your instructions (reports the Steam build version as 1892) and all the affected games once again launch fine for me. Huzzah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Tamren Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Speaking of the beta. It looks like the update just rolled out for everyone else. For some odd reason it takes over 5 minutes for the game to start up, but once Steam gets moving it does work again. Onwards to Silvar!

Fledgling Fyora JonteMonkey Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It's working for me too now. Thanks for sorting it as I had just started to get the messages saying that you are reaching the end of the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora JonteMonkey Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Tip for those who played the demo of Avernum 4 on win7-64bit - the demo savefiles for me were located at the following path (substitute your own username where appropriate): C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Avernum 4\Data I think this is the location win7-64bit writes to when an application attempts to write to a folder it doesn't have permission to write to (i.e. it is a hack windows implements to maintain backwards compatability). It took me a while to find them so I hope that this will save someone else the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
