Hmm, so pressing Escape doesn’t work? What happens when you do that?

Hey there,
I jsut purchased and installed Braid, and while it looks pretty great, I seem to be stuck on the puzzle screen — there’s no way to get out of the puzzle piece manipulation screen.
I installed Braid via a downloaded archive file ‘raid_mac_r5.dmg’ downloaded from greenhousegames. I’m on Mac OSX 10.6.1 with an older core 2 duo machine (easily meets minimum specs). Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I’d love to get this working properly.

I’m suffering the:

braid.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

… problem others have mentioned. I’ve tried a variety of additions to the command line (-windowed, -half etc) to no avail. Here are my specs:

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz
2.99 GHx, 1.00 GB of RAM

Radeon x300

Any help would be appreciated

I should specify, this is the Steam version; maybe it’s possible you have an older copy?

Just tried out the 4870 (on Windows 7 64-bit, with just-downloaded ATI drivers) and Braid runs like silk at 1280. So there may be something strange about your configuration that is causing this.

Hmm, Leo, well that’s interesting that the demo didn’t do it. Where did you download the game from originally (the one that doesn’t work now)?

I don’t know offhand what would be causing it but by coincidence I was about to put a 4870 into my machine so I will try it out and see if it happens for me.

What operating system are you running?

First, I love the support you’re keeping up for this game.
I’m having resolution issues, I can’t get the game to run higher than 1024×768 and it should be running 1280x720from what I understand. Any ideas on your side?
I’m running an ATI 4870 and i7-920
