I just wanted to thank you all for your great reviews, comments and suggestions!

I wasn't even going to try this game. I'm not particularly fond of adventure games (I'll admit it - they're frequently too hard for me!) but after reading the comments here, particularly misa's comment that it reminded her of Amazon, I thought I'd at least give it a try.

I was thrilled to find that it fit within the scope of my limited gameplaying abilities and, even though I was without BFG credits at the time, went right ahead and bought it after the trial.

But again - I wouldn't have even TRIED it but for you guys!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to post your thoughts with respect to this game and others. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Veronica Rivers!

I just came on to find out the same thing. I was going to start over again as it seemed to work for some people. However, if it doesn't work, and I have to start all over again when the fix is in, I may as well wait for the fix to start again.

I do not see an announcement on BF yet that the patch has been installed. When I do I'll be sure to post. In the meantime you can check with the link Tammy posted to the BF thread.

I don't know what the patch is going to fix but when I got to the end of the game my screen went black (I think it was the laser room). I contacted BFG support and they told me to uninstall and reinstall and use a different name. I had to start the game all over, but when I got to the laser room, it was fixed.

I really enjoyed this game and hopefully they will make another one similar to this in the future. Thanks to everyone who helped get me through it because without help I would still be stuck somewhere in the game.

I've been all through these posts and have not seen anyone experiencing the problem I am having. It is the match the tiles board. I click eg a blue then another blue but they don't go away. I have tried keeping down the mouse button then dragging but this hasn't worked!

Any suggestions or tips fellow Boomers?

Thanks thumbsup

bermag45, is this the match 3 puzzle? Where you need to move the tiles to be in a line of 3 or more?

Hi Flo - the instructions are "make matches to clear the whole board". The board has 7 rows and 5 columns of different coloured and different shaped tiles. I click on one, which lights up but upon clicking on an identical one the light goes out on the first then nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks thumbsup

Bernie wave monky

EDIT: It was a glitch. After flicking a few hints at it I could then click and swap tiles and have now moved on.

Thanks again Flo wave monky

I believe in paying when I can afford them(I am a disabled vet on a very fixed income) I also believe that if someone ask me to be a tester for a game and then give me that game(I have done this) that is also paying for it with time. I cannot make or modify games much except for something very simple, but I do know how to describe a quirk when I run in to it more than once.
I also believe that if a game is outdated that it could or possibly should be free but only by the developer I had found out the hard way bout that a bit ago when I did get a game that was pirated! I had NO clue!
What I saw was someone saying that the game was being tested and to download it and then join the team. I did. then NO team! nothing else there. I immediately deleted the game and no way in heck will I do that again without asking someone it it is a ligatament site. I don't get pirated stuff knowingly! too big a chance on viruses or other bad stuff happening

Bermag, glad you were able to get past it.

John, it's always a good idea to avoid pirated stuff. wave

Hi,

Am playing a trial version of this game before I buy, but already have a problem in The Roman Bath - 3rd location.

I found all the objects including the blue Greek Letter. But can't click on the ax or find the levers for the back wall where the magnify glass opens a box with missing levers.

Looks like a fun game, but not if I can't even get past this area.

Read tons of posts, but seems no one else ran into that problem. Sounds silly, but am using up my trial time without success.

Can anyone help?
Thanks so much,


Spankie

Hi Ana,

Of course, checked the walkthrough before posting. It looks like you don't finish the 3rd location till you go to the next one to gather the levers. Will have to go back and start all over to see if I am able to get the ax without the Greek letter. This will be my third attempt.

Tired it again for the 4th time.......mad.....same thing.

Here's what I did, played room 1 and 2 then 3, collected all the items on the list, used the brush tool on the back wall to reveal the greek letter, then tried to click on the ax, just like the walkthrough said.....No luck!

Please can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is there a glitch in my game.

Thanks for any help....

Any word on whether Big Fish has the patched version of this game yet?

I think there is. There was some talk in the BFG forums about people uninstalling and reinstalling.

Here it is, see this post:

Quote:
Hello everyone! We have just released the second new build of Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena here at Big Fish Games. This new build of the game addresses issues people were having with the following:

-The inability to leave the room in the Paris, France level where you receive the Date Scroll
-Glitches with the fire urn in the Lhasa, Tibet level

In order to access the new build of the game, take a look at our help topic - Uninstall / Reinstall a Game. Also, the new build will require you to create a new game profile after you've installed the new build in order for the fixes to take effect. So, unfortunately, you'll have to start the game over again.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and enthusiasm for Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena. If you continue to experience any other technical issues with the game, please contact our Customer Support staff. They are well trained in assisting with technical questions and concerns. You can contact them by clicking here.

Thank you for visiting the forums, and happy gaming!


Since this is the second new build, I think the first one addressed the problems in Japan.

Thank you for the news about a patch. That makes it final for me as I won't buy it or download it until they fix it. To many other games to play with less headaches!

I gave up on the game after 4 tries and uninstalled it. Believe it or not, the game also made my computer reboot on it's own after splashing a blue screen when I either opened or closed the game. Wow, so many bugs for such a cute game.

I got as far as the 4 rooms that you have to investigate. I have 3 of the medallions, yet when I got into one room (the one with the green robe), she says "Here it is", but I can't pick anything up. I have nothing in inventory and no items.

Glad to hear they have the second patch now.
Tammy, did you get the patched version? I don't know if you have to restart the game if you update to the patched version.

I found out I forgot to pick up the bowl of wood in the fire room. You need that in the other room in order to make steam and get the last medallion.

I uninstalled the game before I downloaded it again. I didn't look for a patch for the game (unless the patch in built into the new version), but it worked okay all the way through. Finished the game.

Tammy I got a bit stuck on the end game too until I figured out that I had to do stuff in other rooms.

I was one of the ones that didn't need the new builds at all. I didn't run into any glitches.

I sure hope so Darlene. It worked okay for me this time. Is the patch built into the game, or do I have to get it somewhere else?

It's not a patch, it's really a patched game. If you redownloaded you have the new version. Glad it worked!
