I am having a problem with trying to get past Level 11 on Luxor 3 on the WII. I am now on my second game disc, and still having the same problem. It just locks up and has a high pitch humming noise. Any suggestions?

I am having the exact same problem! I've gotten the high pitch humming noise along with the lock up on Level 11 of Luxor 3 on the Wii. I emailed Mumbo Jumbo and was also reassured that everything would be unlocked even if the highest level wasn't achieved---it wasn't. I even started over as another player and the exact same thing happened when I reached the top level.

After the second time through, the game won't even load on my Wii. I just get a black screen when I click to start the game (all my other games work fine). I've even pulled the power plug and let it reset. I don't know what to do at this point. I'm very disappointed. It sounds like the game (which I believe was released in December, 2008) was put on the market for Christmas too soon. I have not sent back my game, but I've thought about it. I didn't know if they would do anything.

I would welcome any advice from anyone if you've figured out what to do. I love playing the game!

I am having the same issue on Luxor 3 but I have completed the bonus stage on level 11, I return to the pyramid screen and it freezes. I have to turn off the game by holding down the power button to get out. I too am very frustrated. This seems like very poor customer service.

i bought this game from target and it will not play on my computer it keeps coming up to the mumbojumbo website and tells me to play a free trial when i already bought the game and imstalled it.

Duck - Please check your Vista Game Explorer. Luxor 3 should be in there.

 

 

 

I also think this poor planning and not much fixing going on with this issue. It doesn't seem that they care much about how many people are un happy. I am no looking at who puts out the game. No more of my money will go to them until they fix what they broke.

Do not waste your money on this game if you have an Intel Mac and use anywhere neat a current operating system.
Check some other forums to read about the "freezing" problems are having.
DO NOT BUY THIS ONE!

reinspruch,

Somewhere between launch and playing the game for a few minutes (this freezing point varies), my screen turns black (music stop[s a few seconds later) and my computer becomes totally unresponsive to any keyboard commands. I must then shut down my computer with the power button and restart. I personally know others who are experiencing the same problem and there are forums where this problem has been discussed (Luxor 2 also was sited as producing the same or similar problem). I use an Intel Mac Dual core 2.66 with 2GB RAM. OS 10.5.7. It would be nice if there were a patch available. I've played Luxor on G4 and G5 Macs and loved them - I'v very disappointed with the performance on the Intel machine.

here is one forum where the problem (Luxor 2) is discussed:

@reinspatch

I am currently having problems with Luxor 3. (Intel Mac Dual core 2.66 with 2GB RAM. OS 10.5.7)

reinspruch,

It was a MacUpdatePromo purchase.
I believe the game came from MacGameFiles.com

I believe it was version 3.1.0.2

Josh,

Bringing up the console [control-shift-tilde (`)], I found the version to be 1.0.2 (Build #6).
I switched to the "windowed mode" and while I was viewing the console information, Luxor 3 reverted to the full screen mode and shortly after crashed (my screen went black).
So, I am unable to save the console information log using Step 3 in your post since the program reverts to full screen and crashes my computer before I can do this. And since it reverts to the full screen mode on it's own, I am unable to do anything but shut down my Mac by any method other than using the power switch. The console info is not available to me after the crash.

I think this reversion to full screen and possible change in resolution may bring on the crash???

jessoverman.
I never got to that level.
I had so much trouble with Luxor3 freezing that I gave up all together. I wish I had never bought it even though it has beautiful graphics and when it works, it is really great.

Wish I could be more help.

WOW, Glad to see we are not the only ones.

My wife is experiencing exactly the same issue. Once she clears that level, the Wii hangs.

Lets make matters a little worse. It also does not allow her to start another game through. (She completed hard, and wanted to do insane) Once she quit out of playing (After playing for a couple of hours) when she went back in later all of her progress was gone.

OK, I know what you think. She whacked the power while it was saving. Nope. This I know because the first time this happened to her, thats what I told her. She has been extremely careful not to do that again, and I happened to be sitting here when she closed out.

There are major bugs in the game. It appears to me that MJ is aware of the issue, yet have still continued to develop more games without fixing this one.

I for one will not purchase another MJ product until such time as they remedy the mistakes they have already made. BTW, one of the reason my wife purchased the WII was because of Luxor.


Thanks
Glenn
