I was wondering if it was possible to disassemble any of the completed puzzles in order to get the star hidden in the house?

You could try passing -windowed on the command-line options. Which is not the best solution, but it should at least work.

Hi, I’m facing the same problem as paulodeleo(one of commenters) I’m using 4:3 monitor, and 1.014 compressing the fonts, make them broken, very ugly. My monitor is still stable so I’m not plan to replace it, than how should I change the aspect ratio to play this awesome game??

This version hasn’t fixed the issue where you can bypass the ‘buy the full game to continue in this world’ levels by starting Braid with -editor and using [ and ] to skip those levels.

I love this game but I have one small problem. When I boot it up the game screen shrinks and a black border is left around it. It worked fine the first two times I played the game, but by the third time the game would boot up and immediately change to a lower resolution and shrink the game screen. This wouldn’t bother me if it didn’t detract so much from the graphics, as the game is bit fuzzy in the small screen mode. Anyone have suggestions?

I had the same problem with the graphics auto-detection as James F. The lower screen resolution was a different ratio and it made everything look awful. The text for example was almost unreadable in some cases. But it’s all good now, since the “-width 1280 -no_post” worked perfectly. The game runs perfectly with no FPS issues.

I’ll give that a try, Jon.

Thanks,

It sounds like a driver problem, because a game just shouldn’t be able to do that to your machine (mess up the wallpaper, for example). Have you tried updating the drivers?

I am forwarding the information to the Greenhouse guys. It would help to know if these problems happen with the non-Greenhouse version of the game at all (for example the free demo you can get on Steam?)

After sorting out some problems with my DirectX I’ve finally purchased Braid from Greenhouse. I’ve been wanting this game since I saw it reviewed on a local games program at the beginning of the year.

After I installed it and ran it I was asked for the registration code. I entered it and it balked at me that it needed to connect to the ‘net for registration. I connected to the internet and reentered the registration code and get the startup screen with the instructions. I move the guy left and right a little and then hit escape to bring up the menu. I was promptly dumped to the Windows desktop with my wallpaper missing. After this, I get an error every time I try start it. “braid.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.” I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times, cleaning out the registry of all references to Braid before the reinstall but I continually get “braid.exe has encountered…” error. After reading through some of the posts on the site I’ve tried -windowed, -half and the like, to no avail.

I’ve installed Braid to c:\games\braid, running on an Intel Q8200 with 4GB dual channel RAM on a Gigabyte EP41-UD3L motherboard, GeForce 9400GT v/c with 512MB DDR2 RAM.

Can anyone help me out?

Okay, that post was dumb.

I found out, that you have to collect all the previous stars in order to “activate” these levers. I’m sorry for disturbing.
