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?)

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?

Though after playing it for some weeks, I've found some kind of bug... *SPOILER ALERT* So: After a while I found out, that there's an extra challenge. Collecting the stars, so I started looking for them and was able to collect 5 oder 6 of them. But by this time I wasn't able to find any more stars, so - screw me - I looked up the internet for some hints. There I found a hint, that in level 1-1 - Braid there are two levers, that are unaffected by time and that you are supposed to find the star with this hint. Now I went to this level and found out: These two levers are affected by time, so I can not go back in time and they're still activated. I wonder, what's wrong. My version of the game is the Steam version. I hope the developers of this awesome game read this and can help me out so that I'm able to have some more fun with the game ;) Thanks. Hi there,

Whatever the problem is, though, it's unlikely that it has anything to do with XBLA. I have no idea what the problem could be. It might be something small. Not sure how you could debug it, either...

I've the steam version, Win XP SP3, and I think ext2ifs as the filesystem driver. It's really strange - dozens, maybe hundreds, of other programs work fine. I'm not entirely sure what weird filesystem properties you could be depending on, possibly something that XBLA wanted? Either way, fix seems to be to copy to another drive - worked. Literally copied straight from Steams 'common' directory to another drive, enither steam nor game complained. Want I should rig something to dump logs or anything?
