Hello, I just bought Beyond Good and Evil on Steam and it works perfectly on XP. On Vista x64, however, the game turns on and runs, but it's riddled with model problems. For instance, in the opening video, Jade's eyes start moving before the rest of her does. There are also all sorts of problems with sprites flashing all about and making it impossible to see what I'm doing. Is there a fix for this?

System Specs:
3GB RAM
Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4 GHz
nVidia GeForce 8600

P.S.
Please note that since it is the Steam version, patch 1.01 cannot be installed because the installer cannot find it. Although I think patch 1.01 is default with the Steam installation.

BG&E can't run on Vista and there won't be a fix for it I'm afraid. BG&E is 5 years old now.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience

btw, did you try the patch from this site?

I can run on Vista, it's just that certain older versions contain copy-protections that prevent it from running. This particular problem is just a driver problem, so I'd try randomly changing the advanced graphics settings and see if that makes a difference. The game could certainly use a patch to bring it up to date with the newer hardware.

-_-

The game runs, it's just doing so improperly.

Either way, I fixed the problem. There was a certain effect that had to be turned off and it was fixed.

May I ask how you installed the game?

Keep in mind that Steam doesn't use the copy-protection that was used on the 3CD version (Tagès), that's why it works on a 64bit OS.
