  1.  

    Spumat,

    This happens when Vista doesn't get rid of the old shortcut (which happens a lot) and you're playing the game from the old shortcut rather than the new one. If you're starting  the game from the shortcut that reads "Luxor - Quest For The Afterlife" on either your desktop or your start menu, you shouldn't have this problem. If you're starting the game from the shortcut named "Play", then that is what is likely causing your issue. The problem is that the old shortcut is pointing to a "Luxor4.exe" which will not work. The new shortcut points to "LuxorQuestForTheAfterlife.exe" which will work for you. Your best bet is to simply delete the shortcut named "Play" and run the game from the shortcut with the game's name.

    If all else fails, simply go to the install directory, which on your machine is Local Disk > Program Files > MumboJumbo > Luxor - Quest For the Afterlife. Then from there, right click LuxorQuestForTheAfterlife.exe and create a shortcut. You can then take this shortcut and place it anywhere you like for easier access, such as the desktop.

    Let us know if this helps.

    I have just bought it. Installing and loading are fine. But... some errors are occurred while I am playing the game.
    1.Graphic Error: During the game level completed screen especially it try to display the "New Store Item Unlock!" dialog box.


    2.The last prophet does not show up for the third sun disc. When I select the button just play the sound but nothing is showed up.
    And what is gonna happen if I go to every part & city without using any Sun Disc of Aten.

    3.Battle: The crystal is almost inside my pyramid but something happen instead the train turn around and "run" away from into the enemy's pyramid. There is no result screen so I have to manually select the Main Menu and start play it again. And I can not select the Try Again button when I lose the battle also.


    4.The power up items meter only show for the Classic Mode or you want it to be that way.

    If you want to know everything sequentially just tell me.

    I hope you guys will understand my ESL.

    Hello.  Thanks for all of the input and the great screenshots. Any details you could provide that lead up to these situations is always appreciated. Here are some comments/questions by problem number:

    1. We had this bug come up once during testing but could never repeat it. Are you saying that this occured after the game displayed the "New Item Unlocked" message?

    2. A few people have reported similar situations...again, I can't ever get it to happen which makes it hard to track down...but this is one I am definitely working on. Is your game still stuck there? Can you send a screenshot of the campaign map?

    3. This particular circumstance came up during testing but I thought it had been corrected. I'm curious...do you recall in this battle if it had gone for a long time (with a lot of back and forth between you and the AI)?

    4. Powerups are different for different types of game play, so I'm pretty sure this is by design.

    Thanks for your help.

    5. Unable to select the third sun disc of Aten when I need to see the third highest prophet again. This happened when I lost the battle with the third prophet so I am not able to finish the game because of the hidden city. Or the rule is you cannot lose any of the battles otherwise you have to start over again.



    Note from Luxor 4. v1.0
    The previous bug (2.) You were able to select the third sun disc of Aten but the third prophet did not show up when you selected.

    When you lost the battle, the game should have kept taking you back to that battle to allow you to try over and over again.

    So, did the game give you another chance to play that battle? If not, can you recall what did happen?

    Thanks so much for your time and patience...this information is very helpful.

    Answer to rmadsen
    1. Yes, usually occurs when the game is going to return to the map. I am not able to select OK to close the dialog because the dialog is flashed.
    3. What I can remember is when the green crystal was almost inside my pyramid. The enemy shot and made a match. After that the train ran away inside the enemy's pyramid like the game was finished and it played the warning song instead of the battle song.

    When I am battling with the regional prophet and the error No.3 is occurred. The only way I can do is to press ESC, select the Main Menu and then continue adventure. The game will skip that battle and allow me to reach that prophet's city and I can travel to another city.

    Hope you will understand my ESL.

    Answer to rmadsen
    No.5
    When I lost the battle with the third highest prophet. I was not able to select Try Again. So I had to click the Main Menu or Quit Game instead and I did select the Main Menu. After that I am not able to select the sun disc of Aten as shown on the picture No.5.
    But I can select Try Again whenever I lose the battle with the regional prophet.
  2.  
    I got through several issues with the game by running it in in compatibility mode and as administrator. I have all the jars, all the treasures but then there is no finish.
    It keeps telling me to go to a city find the lair of Thutmose and I do this and complete the level. Stuck in a never ending quest.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Also I exited and when I started the game again, it showed I had several things in the store that were locked that I had unlocked previously. Strange.

    The current release was intended to solve all of the canopic jar and prophet issues. It goes without saying that you should obtain the most current version possible. That said, there are still some mysterious issues I am trying to track down, and I always welcome any reports of things that don't seem to work right.

    Good news. I have just recieved clearance to pursue fixing as many of the Luxor: QFTA bugs as possible that related to canopic jars and theives.

    You can help!

    If you are experiencing any of the folloing problems:

    • Unable to catch or see all of the thieves
    • Have caught all of  the thieves but don't have all of the canopic jars
    • Have caught all of the theives but the hidden path to Huton does not show up
    • ...or anything that sounds like one of these problems

    The send me your profile. The profile on Windows XP is saved under: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MumboJumbo\Luxor - Quest For The Afterlife/Profiles

    I'm not sure of the exact path for Vista.

    In the Profiles folder you will see a .prf file for each profile. Send me the profile that is having the problem. Also, please include a description of the particular situation you are experiencing. These profiles will be very helpful in helping me figure out the problem.

    Send an information directly to: rmadsen@mumbojumbo.com

     

    Thanks.

    Great news everyone. I am currently working on fixing the thief/canopic jar/sun disc issues in Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife. My guess is that a new build will be distributed early in April on the MumboJumbo website and also be distributed to all of our online partners. Stay tuned.
