    Please what is wrong? I am getting a pop-up message from website "errorundefined" and the game is not opening. I have downloaded games before - not a neophyte - so, please what is wrong here?

    Same here, the opening scene is wonderful. It's late so I can't continue, but now I'm REALLY looking forward to play it tomorr... later today :D

    EDIT: It should run anyways? I get that too but it continues. Try downloading it again?

    Yeah, couldn't really go to bed without knowing that it had been released or playing it a bit. At first, I was kinda disappointed by the graphics (I hadn't really looked at any screenshots closely), but as soon as I arrived on Flotsam Island and saw the utterly - and I mean UTTERLY - unfixable boat, I knew I was going to enjoy this immensely. It's probably been ten years since I last saw humour like this in a game.

    Off to bed. Can't wait to play tomorrow - maybe I can install it at work? :)

    I'm getting the same message, but the game is moving very slow.

    The errorundefined message seems to be a scripting error in the webpage the game calls, but it shouldn't affect the actual game. As it's pointing somewhere dynamically, if you can wait for a bit (e.g. go to bed now), it might magically be fixed by the Telltale elves anyway.

    If you can't PLAY, then there's a problem - and that's probably unrelated to THAT error message. I had to install Direct X for example - even though I'm on Vista and first skipped it because I thought I didn't need it.

    I just played through the demo and it was awesome. I'm wandering what Guybrush's Treasure Hunt mini-game. Is it an in-game mini-game ala the Sam & Max mini-games or is it a completely separate entity?

    Yeay! I just played through the Prolog and it made me laugh out loud several times! Great slapstick, great arts, great feeling :)

    But, the new "walking system" (dragging the mouse to walk) is a PITA - sorry.

    Yeah, same here. The menu screen alone is impossibly slow, just pointing the mouse at something takes forever. What's the problem? Sam and Max runs so smoothly on this machine...

    The game is quite intensive on the graphics side if it's set up at anything above 3, so I'd check that out. It's mostly post-processing effects like depth of field or fog which look really good but you can live without them.

    it stayed true is all can say after the first scenes on the ship... Finally dialogue cutoffs feel real and Guybrush is as awesome as ever... so how about i shut up right here and swap back to TOMI because I'm not going to sleep anytime soon

    Waited the whole day, now I'll play the whole night

    Thanks TellTale
    and best wishes to all of you working guys to be up in 5 hours for work.. I busted my leg which coincidentally happens to fit right into mi Monkey Island Masterplan

    That worked beautifully. Thanks a lot man. For those who had the same problem as me, just put the quality of graphics down to 3. Thousand thanks LittleBuddy.

    Hmm after the prologue I find that the conversations Im having with people aren't reflected by my choice for the most part.... anyone else experiencing this, is it supposed to be what he's thinking and not what he says? its not an unheard of thing to do from MI but it certainly seems more prevalent

    On my machine, 2.8Ghz, 512 MB RAM, 256MB ATI card, updated directx, etc... LeChuck, the captive monkey and Elaine look like a mass of jumbled polygons, but everything else looks fine. Currently messing around with the video settings, but any suggestions are appreciated.

    Edit: Changed the settings to quality of 1, at 640x480 and the game crashed completely. :-(

    I am getting the errorundefined message and I cant read any of the menu options when I run the game and the graphics are all messed up.

    I'm getting the "errorundefined" error too, but it says it relates to Internet Explorer, which I rarely, if ever, use :confused:

    anyway, in spite of that the game is running absolutely fine & looks fantastic, I can't believe it! I never thought there'd be another Monkey Island, thank you, thank you telltale :)

    it's going to be hard to get to bed tonight :D

    Kudos for giving us a quick download though!

    Ahh the good old Monkey Island feeling is right back. Thank you.

    For those with the speed problems - set the game to a lower level. 2 or so. It works a lot faster for me now.

    The drag-walk controls, well, let me put it this way. I use WASD. Which feel strange too, because the directions are not changing with the position of Guybrush. But you get used to it.

    same here, it worked for me to simply ignore the "erroundefined" error and click play game, but you sharped witted pirates probably tried that already...

    i have a hell machine so i can play it on max, plays really smooth though even with the kinda new controls....

    good luck to you all

    I also had an error running the game, it was a internet ie error "error undefined", then i clicked launch game, and the game crash's, i have all the latest drivers and directx updates any ideas?
  • dmmaxwelldmmaxwell
    edited July 2009
    Ok, I've tried several video settings, but the characters are still nothing but loose polygons. I've tried all three graphics settings, (1, 2, and 3), with no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    sitting infront of my computer with a big smile :D
    needed to tune down the graphics quite a bit to get it working properly but now runs smooth like a monkey on a banana peel.
    *gets coffe and some snacks* and now I'm ready to go for Flotsam...
