Samorost 2 paid version broken
nemoDreamer:
First of all, i adore Samorost and have already pre-ordered Machinarium... you guys are awesome!
When i open Samorost 2 on my mac, Flash asks me for authorisation of Local Storage.
I agree and restart Samorost 2 just to be sure.
I enter the code "PLANINA" to get to the 2nd chapter, but then i am stuck:
clicking on the parachute on the ground simply makes the parachute's button disappear without actually releasing the dog.
i can then no longer click on the parachute, the cursor remains an arrow...
i can do the "butterfly > leaf > turn over bug" thing, but with my little guy still hanging there, it's not much use...
then:
thinking that it might have something to do w/ variables from previous levels being needed, i loaded the last level of chapter 1.
here, everything works fine, till i pass through the elevator:
i get a split-second glimps of a loading bar, then a black screen...
after that, restarting Samorost gives me a black screen after hitting "play"...
i can still load levels, but they are all broken.
(for example: the first level of chapter 1 simply shows the robot sitting, but the rocket never arrives, so i can do nothing)
i don't want to raise a fuss, but i've paid money for this game, and it's not behaving! :'(
i realize i can wait till tomorrow and play Machinarium, but that still leaves me with a broken game i've never even gotten to interact with...
there's a problem w/ loading levels, and now local storage has somehow recorded bad data, since anywhere i place the samorost icon to maybe remove the Local Storage connection, i still get the black screen after "play" and loading broken levels...
i also re-installed to make sure nothing in the package had been broken, but no luck :'(
Lamkin:
Does this happen even after you've double-clicked the Samorost2.swf file? Is it possible that you are clicking on one of the other, separate, level-specific swf files? I ask this because I also have a Mac, and what you've described, for example, about the PLANINA level happens when I click on the planina.swf file. And, as you'd mentioned, the rocket never comes on the first level of chapter 1 if I double-click the poklop.swf file.
On the other hand, you say that you're able to enter codes for the different levels, so I'm a little stumped there; you wouldn't be able to enter any code if you were to click on any one of the separate files (as none of the text at the bottom of the screen would be displayed). Hmm...
nemoDreamer:
nope, it happens when i click on the "Samorost 2" Mac OS X application file. (which opens Samorost in default browser)
also when i "right-click > show package contents > Contents" to open the .html or .swf manually...
of course, i don't expect opening the level swf's individually to work :):):)
Lamkin:
I was editing my message while you were replying to me. =op
Have you tried launching the game using a standalone version of Adobe's Flash Player?
Also, I was under the impression that there wasn't any "Samorost 2" Mac OS X application file, so I'm confused. 8o(

...Flash asks me for authorisation of Local Storage.
And why do I get the feeling that that might be the problem? I dunno. Sorry. I wish I could be of more help.
nemoDreamer:
thank you :)
yes, bought Samorost 2 days ago, and it comes as a nice .dmg with a single .app in it, that packages the whole thing...
i also have flash standalone 9 & 10, and have tried both...
i have flash set to 'always ask', so websites need authorization to use HD, webcam, mic, etc...
i've searched the internet to find the physical location of Local Storage, so i might manually delete whatever was saved badly, but no luck...
Adobe says to set allowed storage to 'none', which will delete everything, but that doesn't help either.
