Will this series work with Windows 7

McChadworth · 12-21-2011, 10:47 AM

I have a Windows 7 machine with a GTX 570, a i5 processor, and display at 1920x1080. I was wondering if anyone else with a similar configuration was able to play the games, or if they had to do work arounds like using old copies of physix and what not to make them work.

I am pretty interested in getting these games, but I do not want a bunch of useless games taking up space.

i wanna know too. Also how are the games? are they worth it?

stillwater78 · 12-21-2011, 02:22 PM

Well, I can't tell you for sure. But it does say on the store page that it supports vista, which should pretty much guarantee that it works on 7.

Works okay on my rig (with only slightly differing degrees of tinkering).

AMD 1055T x6 core, nVidia GeForce 470 GTX, Win 7 x64, 1600x900 widescreen.

Only had to do some slight .ini modifications to get the resolutions jacked up to 1600x900 on my machine. Wasn't too difficult.

I downloaded the awaken demo, but haven't been able to get it to work. The Demo.exe process shows up in the task list but nothing else ever happens. I've tried various compatibility mode settings with no luck so far.

Windows 7 64bit

I have The Awakened on my Windows7 64bit computer running fine. I haven't tried Jack the Ripper yet.

I am playing at 1920 x 1080 after changing the .ini file as mentioned above.

OP has more than enough power to run this game. I'm on a 2.8 dual core fx-62 with a 5770 ATI.

I find I get a bit dizzy after playing for awhile. But it's not that bad.

McChadworth · 12-21-2011, 07:21 PM

Thanks for the replies everyone, I decided to pick the set up.

I was not concerned that I had enough power to play the games, I just wanted to see if others with similar configurations were able to play it without too many problems. I do not have a problem with changing an .ini setting to get it to play with my resolution.

@cholkan:
What do you mean when you say you find you get a bit dizzy after playing for a while? Is it the low FOV on the camera?

Cholkan · 12-22-2011, 03:39 AM

Yeah. The FOV seemed low. Usually no games bother me at all. It's not a big deal for me. I just find after awhile I have to quit for bit.

I personally like the game and it doesn't stop me from playing it. I find this game relaxing.

SHvs.JtR works fine in Win7x64. Haven't tried the others yet.

FriedTaco · 12-26-2011, 03:42 PM

They're all working fine for me. Win7 x64

johnafirth · 04-29-2012, 07:20 PM

Silver Earring definitely works on Win7 x64.

koima57 · 05-17-2012, 12:11 AM

Mystery of the Mummy could not get past the launcher with a crash to desktop, but a quick compatibility mode to XP SP 3 from the install folder .exe properties was the fix on Win7 x64.

I got it to run fine on Win 7 x64 without any messing about. Looked like ♥♥♥ though, so I uninstalled it. The joys of PCs...

Haha yea.. New problems pop like flies on turds for the same OS, for no obvious reasons.

As for Mystery of the Mummy, OH sweet baby Jesus that one game.. I've bought the Sherlock games bundle from Steam Christmas sales and i try every now and then to get into this one but it is just way too. F ucking. Horrible.

The panoramic view and crazy mouse sensivity makes me motion sick. The graphics are blury as fog with filters, blocky as lego with none. Either makes my eyes bleed. The gameplay is filled with a hundred of puzzles to the brim with no obvious link in between. Only the music is somewhat alright.

I wish i could remove this thing from my library definitely. It is depressing me just to think about starting this one, it is THAT bad.

It looks dreadful. I managed a few minutes then gave up. Thankfully they used a completely new engine for the other games, and they look pretty good (although somewhat dated by now).
