Hello all. I don't have a major problem here ( as yet anyway) but I wonder if you could help me . I downloaded this game via torrent. It's starforce protected but the crack exe ( 7,156kb) that came with the 3 ISO's has fixed that. I copied it over before the running the game.
It also came with 2 save games ( savegame 001, and savegame IJS whatever that means) because the intro scene loops so you have to press escape and load the save game which is right at the start anyway. I found during gameplay that although everything works, the graphics regularly glitch by causing the screen to momentarily go black around some areas of the image. This only lasts a split second. Should I make do or is there some other crack that solves this? I have no idea if other errors will happen later on in the game. Maybe, maybe not. The torrent didn't have a name attached to it that I could find in the nfo lists for this game, other than 'Runaway A road adventure' . T.I.A for any help
I'm aware of other fixes, but I don't know which other patch would work for my problem or even if it would mess things up completely, seeing as it's SF protected.
It seems someone else with a.. *cough*.. bought copy of the game had another problem that I was also having. Cutscenes looping and not going into the next part of the game. The save game helped at the start after the first cutscene, but there was no savegame for after the next looping cutscene. This could have gone on all through the game for all I know.
Anyway it was lacking the Truemotion 2.0 Codec and the guy who uploaded the torrent obviously wasn't aware of this, hence the savegame. I downloaded the ace mega codec pack, ticked truemotion 2 and it works fine now. Well sort of. At the start of the game, after cutscenes, the credits freeze and an error comes up pinpointing the runaway.exe. Still, it seems to work from my saved games so hopefully it won't happen anywhere else in the game. Maybe now the graphic glitching might also be fixed. I'll have to see.
I finished the game today. Throughout the game the screen would frequently get covered in black patches, but moving the mouse would clear it much like an eraser in 'paint' or, it would clear itself after a second or two. There was one other bug I came across. Brian was able to get into a new piece of scenery ( the crater where the ideas helmet was dropped) but before it was time. Reloading the save game, I couldn't do it again. Other than that, great game!

I hope that will fix your problems! Good luck!
