Hi! Just wanted to say first that Myst is a blast on the iPhone/Touch... having so much fun revisiting the ages again. Kudos to the team!

Unfortunately I've hit a game-stopping bug-- I was in Channelwood, and had just looked down at one of the pipe levers-- when I looked back up the screen went entirely black except for the info icon at the bottom. I can still hear the sound effects but no matter where I touch it doesn't seem to move or respond. (I can click on the info button to pull up the menu, which works okay.) If I start a new game everything is fine, but I hate to lose all my progress in the game I was in. Quitting and restarting, or turning off / restarting the iPod Touch don't help, they just take me back to the black screen with the Channelwood SFX.

If anyone knows a way to get the game back to normal I'd appreciate it! Smile

Unfortuneately, I don't know of anything, but I did put the question to the developer's for you, and will post here if they have a suggestion.

Exact same thing just happened to me... Looked down at a valve and then the screen went black. Still can see option button and can hear audio but everything is black. Guess I'm screwed still we get bug fixes, no recent saved files to go back to. All forms of reset have no effect

The exact same thing happend to me so I started the game once again only to have the same thing happen once again but this time at Stoneship in the compass chamber.
At first I could still hear the alarm in the distance but now not even that only the music in the background.

Sorry to say I have the same problem, happened 2ce in a day, annoyingly i decided to just go back and start again as i knew what I had to do even though i had 3 books done already.

Then after restarting it I got as far as the tree level and ready to turn one of the pipes and boom. Black screen again.

Im not gonna restart again I will just wait for a bug fix and hopefully I can keep back to where I was without going back to square 1 again.

Fingers crossed.

They are working on a fix. . . I personally have never encountered this problem, and have not heard of any work around Sad

The same thing happened for me in stoneship in the compass chamber. I'm stuck on the game. Only a black screen appears when I enter it now. I can get to the "info" page, but can't continue through the rest of the game.

There is an update coming soon and the fix for this is included. For now, the only way out is a saved game or a new game I am afraid

I ran into the same bug... very frustrating. I had to start my game over from scratch.

However I was able to work around the problem by entering from Achenar's back stairway (the one near the front of the boat near the ramp to the top of the rock).
