Kurama Posted June 7, 2013 Content Count: 174 Joined: 03/17/10 Status: Offline Share Posted June 7, 2013 Ok, I bought Oddworld on Steam for nostalgic reasons and I noticed that when I go to launch it, it will start up and load about 1 second, and then the main audio file will loop and eventually crash and lock my computer. Anyone know any solutions to fix this? (Already tried reinstalling it and running as an administrator) Computer specs if it helps OS: Windows 7 64 Bit Processor: Intel® Core i5-2410M/ 2.30GHz (Quad Core) Memory; 4GB of Ram Graphics card (Fully updated): NVidia GeForce GT540M Link to comment

Search on google something called "oddpatch" download it and run it, then run the game. The patch closes itself after a while and freezes the screen, to fix this just jump to desktop and run the patch again. OddPatch.exe I think this might be the one, can't test it I don't have the game installed. Edited June 8, 2013 by Repus Link to comment

This game is uh... 1997 is when it was released on Playstation. But Steam just put it on their market though Link to comment

Did you look on the game's page on Steam to see if it said anything? Or googling to see if other people have the same problem? Link to comment

Which raises the question of why? If thats the case then I'm not changing the OS on my old Desktop. Link to comment
