![]() ![]() If one looks on the wishlist entries you'll see people complaining to GOG like it is GOG's fault the game isn't here and GOG isn't doing their job blah blah blah, but of course any rational person knows that GOG doesn't get to just randomly hand pick games they want to come here and they magically show up a week later because GOG has authoritarian control over all companyies and their games. Well, I meant s/Ubisoft/the rights owners of the game/ of course. Cyan themselves have been commenting every once in a while for 5 years that they have been in talks with Ubisoft into rereleasing the games, but nothing has come from it so far. Unfortunately, since Cyan owns the Myst franchise (but Ubisoft retains the rights to those two specific games), the usual licensing headaches pop up in the horizon. Grargar: If it was solely up to Ubisoft, then I believe that Myst 3 and 4 would have already been available here and/or on Steam. Still, it would be nice for the folks at Ubisoft to hand this to GOG to figure out. Perhaps there is some issue with SMP that causes a race or some other machine-specific situation going on though. The setting in the end appears to have no effect and was just a fluke lucky start I had. The sad thing is that I looked up what Cicero is and it has to do with Microsoft accessibility features which are related to input, and since the problem I'm encountering is input related it seemed like a plausible connection. Or I could keep trying settings in ACT etc. I may need to just start the game 50 times and hope it randomly starts up ok. So it appears I'm kind of back to the drawing board. I might have gotten lucky on that one run and beat some kind of game or OS level race condition by fluke, which didn't occur on previous or subsequent invocations. So, it seems that the fact I got the game to work was a complete fluke rather than from my ACT changes, and that the problem that occurs may in fact not be 100% reproducible every single time.
