I downloaded this game from BFG a few days ago and then deleted it in order to wait to see what BFG does with the timer. I just downloaded it today and in the options is a time/untimed option and then when I started it, it popped up a window asking me for timed or untimed play. So I am off to see if I want to spend my game credit on this game. Chances are I probably will, it looks like a lot of people are enjoying this game. Thanks BFG!!! bravo

Frogwares replied really quickly - they say uninstall from Big Fish & reinstall.

I was thinking I would like this game with no timer, so now that it is off,I am definitely going to get it. I like taking my own sweet time and it is okay with me if that means I lose points (If that is how the game works.) as I'm not interest in them anyway.


To love is to be happy with!

I'm glad BF has the new version because I never got an answer from Frogware...


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I downloaded the patch, and I seem to have done it correctly. I go into options and choose "Play Untimed Mode", click accept and go back to the game....however the stupid timer still counts down. I am trying to figure out the red box puzzle and I always run out of time. I'm frustrated.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Can you give me advise?

Thanks,
Kim

welcome to GameBoomers Kim. Does the following help at all?

Opened the ......\Sherlock Holmes - The Mystery of the Persian Carpet folder.
Pasted the inside 001 folder in that Persian carpet folder.
Played the game.

There are now 2 possible ways for you to go through:
1. If you select New Game - you automatically get a choice of timed or untimed when you click New GAme.
2. If you open an old game.
- See the Main Menu.
- You will see OPTIONS. Select Options on the right side.
- Then Select Play untimed. Accept or Back.
- Then back on the Main Menu, select Resume.
- Select a place to go to in the map and you will see that the timer is set at 00:00.
- Play a bit and then exit as usual.

Brown Eyed Tiger - All of that worked for me. However, the timer is still counting down despite the fact that I changed the setting in options.

I just didn't know if anyone else out there was having the same issue.

Please double check that the oo1 folder that you placed inside the Persian Carpet folder does not have an outside (another) oo1 folder. If there are 2 folder one inside another - take the inner one and place it at the Persian Carpet folder. You can discard the empty 001 folder. luck

Hey MaG, since they were able to change the timer on SH Persian Carpet on BFG, is there any chance of ever changing it on Azada? I loved the demo, but I hated the timer, so I didn't buy it. I love to do puzzles like that, but don't want to be watching a clock, knowing I will never have enought time for all the puzzles in that level.

thanks
Koalanut

Koalanut, you would have to write the developers. We are fortunate that the developers of Sherlock are members here and big in the Adventure game industry. They aim to please. It doesn't hurt to ask the Azada team.

Good idea, I googled the game, and I noticed that Gamezebo lists BFG as publisher and developer. So I am off to write an email. thanks Ana!!!

Got a response from BFG about Azada timer....they say that developers don't intend to change the timer.

Guess no Azada for me cry

That is an unfortunate decision. I'm pretty certain it isn't a major project to do so. Sorry Koala, it's a great game.

If I use these instructions, do I want to open or save this file? When the free 7zip website come up, which 7zip should I chose for this download. This is in regard to the timed/untimed game. I have been having a problem following the instructions. I must be doing something wrong. Thanks for your reply.

I always save to desktop and then follow the rest of the instructions. If you haven't started the game yet, you can delete your game and reinstall the new version off BigFish. It already is patched for you.

rdbz, the patch is in the first post, that is why I sent you here from the other thread. Please read the directions in the first post. There are further directions in this thread if you need more.
