Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter Forum

The steam version of the game installs well, and boots up more or less as it should, except for the fact that the mac dock refuses to go away. The menus work fine, but regardless of how I change the video settings the models for character choice will not render, and all maps refuse to load.

I´m getting the same error, when the first level is normally loaded it says, unable to load level

There are too many tickets to make it worth submitting a support ticket, if you want to help get it running vote for it, and get as many people as you know to vote for it. This will increase the odds of it being fixed. 10 votes alone would get us into the top 30 most requested apps, then we need to get some pledges going.

Also, you should consider becoming an advocate. You get crossover free, and all you have to do is rate the applications you use, look at the forums from time to time, and write short beta reports on how applications work with new releases.

Actually, submitting a ticket would allow us to open a bug for the issue, especially if we can reproduce it in-house (we do test unsupported games if we have a few reports of issues with them).

Have you tried setting your launch option to '-dxlevel 90'?

AND, I have one ticket reporting this issue, two more people reporting it might get it looked at. We have limited developer time, but something that can be reproduced is much easier to chase down. Always worth a shot! (Bug 5873, internal fwiw)

I tried -dxlevel 90 with no luck.

Hi there

I have absolutely no picture in-game. All the menus are working flawlessly.
The only thing I am able to see in-game is the Framerate and Time (enabled in the settinges menu).

My hardware is a 27" iMac (iCore5)

Thanks
Ben

PS: didn't try it on my linux machine (because my crossover expired on that one 😉 )

Is the menu where you choose your character appearance working flawlessly for you?

hmm no, there is just the green menu and the black window on the right side

if I disable gfx_bHDRRendering = 0; in the SeriousSamHD.ini (Library/Application\ Support/CrossOver\ Games/Bottles/winxp/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/userdata/27324382/41000/local/SeriousSamHD.ini) the game works!!! it looks like shit but works. FYI

Cheers

Thanks for the info, I think this issue is going to be fixed in 8.1.4. Do you have any leads on how to make the game truly enter full screen mode, instead of launching with the top bar and dock still visible?

Hi, I don't have this problem anymore .. it started with 2560x1414 the first time (which was a custom resolution). I changed it in-game to 2560x1440 (edit: which is full-screen resolution) and it stays like that - no bars at all. (27" iMac quad iCore5 - 8.1.4rc1)

cheers

Wow I can't believe I didn't try something that obvious, but it worked, thanks man.
