Make sure that the NumLock key is not enabled (the LED indicator on your keyboard should be off).

#RIVEN MISSING EXECUTABLE FILE SCUMMVM PATCH#

A new mouse icon with a red patch will show up in the system tray of your taskbar, next to the clock. Fn is the extra key on the bottom left side of your keyboard, if you're on a laptop or using a compact (smaller) keyboard. If you don't have a Number pad (like me), you'll have to press and hold down SHIFT + ALT + Fn then the NumLock key.

A prompt will pop up, asking you if you'd like to enable Mouse Keys (part of Ease of Access Center). Press and hold down SHIFT + ALT, then press the NumLock key (this will trigger an audio cue). My solution is as follows (you should hear audio cues as you make these adjustments): If you just tap the mouse button briefly, it'll flip a single page. The problem is, it seems, that the game is too sensitive (or not enough) to modern mouse clicks. It doesn't matter if you wiggle your mouse or not.

If done correctly, you'll be able to use your keyabord to perform left mouse clicks and flip pages like a pro.

There might be similar options on MacOS and Linux, but I'm not aware of them.

This solutions is for Windows systems only (I'm on Win7). Other than that, make maps, make notes on what happens when you manipulate stuff, and just think! see if there's anything, no mater how much it looks like background scenery, that could be a button. why not close it and see if something is hiding behind it? Say you're in front of a locked area. Several puzzles involve you closing doors or noticing switches that are very very small-if you're stuck, think about this stuff. But honestly, I just recommend clicking everywhere and taking notes whenever you can. This is a link to the official hint guide Cyan provides you with the iOS version. You cannot 'save as' using keyboard hotkeys, sorry.īug 7: The game runs in a stretched resolutionįix: You cannot fix this within Riven, but depending on your monitor you may or may not be able to force a 4:3 resolution at the monitor level.įix: Yes, it is. I don't know if this is all in my head, but it seemed to happen far less often when I did this.īug 6: Some menu bar functions do not workįix: Do not use the menu bar. So I just put up with this.īug 5: When flipping through books, flipping one page sometimes causes it to flip 2 pages.įix: Strange as it sounds, I was able to fix this by wiggling my mouse near the bottom of the screen immediately after clicking the page turn. I was able to run the game in SCUMMVM and not have this bug, but it had some slight sound issues for me and did not play transitional animations, and was stuck in a small windowed resolution.

This looks weird.įix: I did not find a fix and had to put up with it. If you try to turn again, you are warped outside the cave.įix: You are able to complete this puzzle by walking all the way to one screen before the end of the cave and then turning around.īug 4: When animated elements run, the videos play 1 pixel too low on the screen. It will work fine.īug 3: During the cave at the top of the elevator in the village ('cave bug'), if you walk to the end and turn back you are not able to walk back. To do this, go to the game's executable in Windows Explorer, right click, properties, set compatibility mode to Windows 98 SE.īug 2: Every time the game opens, it pops up an error about not being able to read game data.įix: Click the Riven icon, and instead of clicking to continue from your save, hit CTRL+O to get the 'open save' dialog box. During the course of the game I ran into a bunch of bugs, and it looks like most of the posts in this forum are people who are having bugs.įix: Run the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. I just finished Riven on Steam on Windows 10.
