Hey, okay :D Yeah my firewall's on but when I had the option to allow features of ParaWorld through it I chose yes, and I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus.

You can try this tool:

http://www.para-welt.com/download_main/ ... ttings.exe


It will open your settings file. Search for "ScreenMode". It looks like that for me:

Code: Select all

	ScreenMode {
		FullScreen = '1'
		Width = '1920'
		Height = '1080'
	}
You could try changing it to a different resolution (that is actually supported by your machine and is not the current Desktop resolution) and set FullScreen to 0.

This is the only place it found ScreenMode:

Code: Select all

AutoConfig {
		Enable = '0'
		SetGfxDetail = '1'
		SetFixes = '1'
		SetCaches = '1'
		SetScreenMode = '1'
		Rating {
			RAMAmount = '1.000000'
			RAMSpeed = '1.509434'
			CPUSpeed = '1.000000'
			GFXCaps = '0.975000'
			GPUFillRate = '4915.200195'
		}
	}
Should I set the SetScreenMode to 0? Not sure what that'll do as it doesn't say anything about fullscreen and resolution. Thanks for helping for so long also :)

The only place? This is the first occurence of ScreenMode for me too, but the second one is what I posted. But you don't have it?

Hm. You should be able to insert the block I posted right below the first line

Code: Select all

Root {
of the file. Of course you have to adapt the values to your system.

Just tried this now and it has finally shown me the title screen! Thank you for your help I hope everything runs fine from here :) It was strange how I didn't have that code in my settings file at all.
Thanks again :D

Thanks Ayce, I guess the game had not created a profile yet. Not sure why though. Enjoy PW

A profile maybe, but I think it only saves these values either once the options are saved or the game is started successful for the first time. These are in the settings-file not the userprofile-file.

Great to hear that it works. :)

Hey there,

I'm trying to play paraworld on my P.C which is running windows 8. I've been through so many efforts trying to get this game to work and all have failed. I realised that norton kept targeting the executable .exe file for some reason so when I try to load the game it has to be turned off otherwise it thinks it's a trojan.

I've downloaded the booster pack and win7 fix and still nothing, ran everything I can think of in compatibility modes but still nothing. The mouse wheel spins and then back to normal. As if something stopped it or it failed.

I played this game about 2 or 3 years ago on the same P.C and didn't have an issue. But now there seems to be some problem that I can't figure out and i've been at it all day. Would really appreciate if you guys could help me out,

Cheers

Hi!
Are you the guy with all those dino related stuff on youtube (and using paraworld music here and there, time and again)? :)

Anyways the best option would be to visit http://www.para-welt.com/tavern/ and i/we could help you in real time, but i would suggest installing teamviewer (if you don't have anything against it)

Keep up the good work on youtube! ;)

Hey all!

So I have a windows 10, and I'm encountering the same problems. I've downloaded the boosterpack and I've installed Paraworld before. However, I can't find the win7fix link. Additionally, does win7fix work with windows 10?

Thanks!

Hello Mr. Morgana,

I tried that link, but got a 404 Error on dropbox. Is there another link?

thanks!

interesting, up until now it was working, but maybe its connected to the change regarding public folders (public folders don't work anymore in dropbox since March 15th)
New Link

hi Roughcompany! Unless you have the digital version from GamersGate or another site (i don't remember which, just that it was german), you need to install win7fix. But before doing that, download and install the boosterpack (the last official addon from the developer). Install them in this particular sequence, otherwise the boosterpack overwrites the fix.

Win7fix link
Long live the Beaver!

Hi and thanks for tanking the time to replay to someone like me, thanks MrMorgana. Well I think my stupidity is about to really show, so what file do I install the boosterpack into, the bin or something else. The more direct and blunt you are the better, LOL sorry in advanced. Ill try and see if I can just figure it out

Re: Paraworld doesn't launch

the file you download is an installer, which should find the location of your paraworld from the registry, and should automatically install itself there. Anyways the boosterpack should be in Data folder. If you are unsure if it is installed correctly, come to para-welt.com/tavern

Well is their a time and date were people will be in the tavern? My sleep schedule is kinda off because I work night. If push comes to shove, I could just give up and watch other people play it.
