My resolution matches the desktop, but I still have some troubles with the dissapearing cursor... To say nothing of the terrible interface!
Still, the story looks to be just great.

Sanford found a way to get rid of the disappearing cursor problem on his computer and has posted it in Glitches.

  • Go to the "Yesterday Origins" folder which is inside the Steam folder
  • Right-click the game exe --> Properties --> Compatibility tab
  • Check the box for "Disable Display Scaling"
  • Check the box for "Run as Administrator"
  • Save the changes
  • Create a new desktop shortcut to the game exe and use that instead of the one created during the installation.

It may not work for everyone, but it's worth a try.

Thanks for passing that along, Jenny. So far, as I advance in the game I have not experienced the "disappearing cursor" at all, so that's a good sign. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I just heard back from Microids and they assured me that this is pure point and click adventure.

Well, a fiasco frown

After being told by Game UK (a huge game site) I wouldn't need Steam to run the DVD version of yesterday Origins, my DVD arrived today. And guess what ?? When I put the disk in the drive I was immediately asked for Steam !! mad

So then I had to arrange a "return and refund" - which took nearly two hours hardwall

However, I HAVE arranged everything now - and at no cost to me, apart from the disappointment and hassle whistle

Guess I'll have to choose something from my teetering stack of "unplayed" instead lol

I am not in the least surprised Mad. That was why I asked you the other day, because my knowledge was there is Steam on the retail version. Sorry you had to go through the hassle.

Well I did give "Game" a telling off.
That such a major company would give out duff info - and in writing - is hardly credible shocked

That is why I ask the publishers, I don't trust anyone but the source. What a hassle!

Pendulo and/or Microids reportedly decided that the Steam layer of DRM wasn't enough and have added the somewhat controversial Denuvo as another layer of copy protection. It was cracked within 24 hours of release, but I will not bother with this game anyway. If they think it's fair to make life harder for people who legally purchase their game than those who download it illegally they will not get any money from me. At least not until it's on GOG.
