The Longest Journey Tips

Fixing *Most* of the graphical bugs

Most of the graphical bugs can be fixed by editing a preferences file that the game creates.  It will get rid of the upside down graphics and a few other issues, videos still do not play however.

In your ~/Library/Application Support/CrossOver Games/Bottles/<Bottlename>/drive_c/users/crossover/Application Data/The Longest Journey/ folder there should be a Preferences.ini file (if it's not there please create it).  It's a simple text file that controls some of the graphical settings in the game.  It should look like this to fix the screen being upside down and such.

[Preferences]
SfxVolume=1.000000
VoiceVolume=1.000000
MusicVolume=1.000000
bool_Subtitles=1
bool_AprilHighRes=0
bool_ShadowsOn=0
bool_AllowFastForward=0
AudioDevice=autodetect
[DirectX]
bool_IsDoubleBuffer=0
int_BitDepth=32
bool_ShadowsOn=0
bool_StartFullscreen=1  (if set to 0 the game will run windowed, which has it's own problems)
bool_UseHardware=0
