Hi Bluto, I moved your post over to Glitches because you are describing a technical problem with this game.

I found a discussion of your problem here on a Steam forum. It sounds like playing the downloaded version from GOG would fix your problem and be the simplest solution. Getting another physical copy of the game won't help the situation, unfortunately.

Bluto, I did some searching too and found the same thing as Marian. It sounds like the easiest way to play this game is with the version from GOG. I found another discussion of the problem and it can only be fixed by going into the BIOS and disabling hyperthreading. And that's not something you should do at all. It's practically free at GOG right now for $1.19. I know you don't like downloads, but unfortunately there are a lot of older games that can only be played with a download.

Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

I would follow the advice of Draclvr and Marian and get the game from GOG for a $1.19, Wow great sale.

But if you are really really against downloads that much, did you try installing the Patch to see if that helps, if you do a Google search on Broken Sword 4: The Angel of Death Patch you will get several sites offering the patch.

Good luck

PS: Do not try to fix anything tomorrow, it is Friday the 13th, not a good day to mess around.
