Patch for the German version.

EDIT: Not that bad but it seems German adventure games requires a few updates, maybe it's a good thing localization is often so slow.


EDIT: Rapidshare for the demo, used to be pretty good but now they tend to stall downloads and all sorts of weird restrictions unless you subscribe, still at 1.5 GB only a few upload sites are available.
(I prefer Megaupload myself minus the advertisement but I'm unsure about max size limit.)

EDIT: Ah it's a pro account already, nice. Smile

It works just fine here, I'll check what I can find about that MMDevAPI.DLL file though.

EDIT: Screens.

What? I finished this game like two years ago.
Definitely one of the top 10 adventures I've ever played.
At first I thought this was about Die Vieh Chroniken, the sequel, which I'm playing right now.
Unless the english version contains them both, that is.

No this is the first game it seems, it really takes a long time for certain localizations, German adventure games for example or certain Russian titles to name two more common.
(Then there's Polish, Czech and other game developer regions of course.)

Hello

My name is Chris. I do Community work for KING Art Games. I've noticed you have a problem with the demo. I've spoken to the developers and they have suggested the following:

If the game doesn’t start (black screen and then an error window even before the loading screen appears) and if you have up to date graphics drivers, its most likely a problem with the digital audio output.

To avoid the crash you can deactivate the digital audio output in his systems settings.

Hopefully this will work. It's an error that occurs for only a few people.

Please feel free to get back to me with any thoughts, impressions or technical problems by emailing me at waldo5@hotmail.com

You can also follow me on Twitter for all the latest news, updates and competitions.

Chris

The book of unwritten tales II : The Critter Chronicles

Available in German.
English version is coming soon.

This shorter-length prequel to The Book of Unwritten Tales tells the story of a whole tribe of Critters being threatened by a warlock and in desperate need of help. Soon, Nate and the original game's Critter, who has fallen in love with the daughter of the Critters' chieftain and could use a helping hand, realize that they could help each other out. And that's how their mutual adventure begins.

Seems they are doing a sequel, Critter Chronicles.


EDIT: Oh it's actually a prequel.

encountered another idiotic thing. When you speak with Petra as Nate one of the conversation options says "not translated yet"

So to me it seems like this has absolutely not been properly tested.

Are you talking about the base game or Critter Chronicles?

Thanks, would be kind of ridiculous, if the base game was still so buggy.

Impossible to find help with this game. I'm surprised how no one seems to care about it. Official forums has 0 posts, 0! Stuck in hard mode after shooting out the engineer in the submarine. Can't use the lever to open the hatch (friend playing easy said it was just to use the lever) Whereas I can't.
