I just recently purchased RealMyst. Choosing it over the Myst: Masterpiece Edition because I thought the 3D remade textures and soforth would look better and run better on my newly purchased laptop. I seem to be wrong. I'm running Windows 8 64-bit, a Intel i7-3630QM, 8GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GT 650M GPU, so it isn't my hardware. I'm assuming it's a compatability issue, but I've tried everything to fix it. I inserted "-winxp" into the launch options, I ran as Administrator from the Steam Common Apps fol...

I'm getting a lot of crashes and technical issues when I am trying to play RealMyst. I'm not seeing the images inside the books, and there is massive slowdown in the central hub. I am also getting crashes when I try to access the brother's books and accessing the topographical chamber. Are these known issues? Should I turn on/off certain setting to prevent crashes and slowdown? I started the game in default settings. Any help is appreciated....

When I run it from Steam, the game crashes constantly, but if you navigate to the program file and run it in compatability mode for Windows XP service pack 3, the game works fine.

I thankfully bought this before it was delisted, if this is better/closer to the original Myst then do I really need to spend $25 on a game I own twice on Steam already

Every game in the series looked and played great when they originally came out, but time and technology hasn't been kind to them. I think it would be neat if Cyan or whoever owns the games now would release a version utilizing the latest graphics, and make sure that it's able to maintain compatability for years to come. Who's with me?...
