Hello, Despite having played through a number of Myst games, and URU (a number of years ago), I have only just discovered URU live and began playing a few days ago- its a great game and runs fairly smoothly.
I run it on Windows Xp on VMware fusion (a virtual desktop application) on a mac, which possibly contributes to the problem Im having, which is that the pages of books dont display. This affects journals and linking books. Linking books dont appear on my relto shelf, it appears empty, but the books are still there. I can pull them out when the cursor says there is something there. The latch lifts and the sound effect plays but no book comes out. When the books appears in front of me, the pages are all black. I can still interact with the linking image (by guessing where it is on the page) and the pages do turn (I can tell from the sound and the cursor telling me where things are) but its always black.
The same thing happens with things like Douglas Sharpers journal (there werent any pages inside, it was just the front and back covers). Bizarrely it even affects the icon of my Relto book in the pop up menu at the bottom of the screen. Its not there but I can still click on it to link to the (blacked out) Relto. I was wondering if this was a common problem (a search of the forums didnt seem to pick anything up though) and if anyone had any idea what might be causing it (possibly the mac). The game is still very much playable, and it not that bad a problem, but it is very annoying, particularly when trying to ascertain where a book goes or if there is any important information in it.
