[Solved] Syberia 1 and 2 DVD

[Mazzy7]

I have the DVD version containing Syberia 1 and 2. I am part way through one and have the most horrific graphics issues. I have an ATI Radeon 9550 card with up to date drivers, I am running XP.

I hope you can help me, Im enjoying the game but really cant get it to behave.

I wonder if anyone will even see this...?

It seems like there are two whole threads on the Collectors Edition DVD, and that's it in the whole of the internet. I'm picking the most recent.

I'm playing 1 right now, and after I get the cuckoo egg from the eagle in the Barrockstadt station, the game does one of two things: it either seizes up right before a transition to another camera angle, or it seizes up on a black screen during the transition to another camera angle. Usually, I can get to the bridge or to the train before suffering the latter form of the malfunction. The former (seizing up in the middle of an action) has only happened once, when I started to climb down the second ladder. No error messages. I could almost handle an error message. I'd love some help, as I was having a grand old time until now.

Please let me know if you need more info about my system. I just scooped these from Run:dxdiag
Windows XP Pro SP2
3582MB RAM
256 MB Memory
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M
SigmaTel Sound
DirectX v. 9.0c

Sadly, while I read your post, I am in the same situation. I have the same freeze after retrieving the egg and trying to go anywhere, at the same stage you are describe. At the bridge, on the train or walking towards the garden I get a blank screen with no response. I was enjoying the game as well.
Windows XP SP3
NVidia 7300LE
The patches listed around seem to be fixes at later stages.

This is a follow-up. In being new to the forum I did not find the [solve] posting above. There you can find someone else had our problem and was provided with a saved game just past that point.

Hi. I am having the same problem with the game freezing after getting the cuckoo egg.

I would like to try loading the above saved game but do not know where to save it to once I have downloaded it.
I have looked in the Syberia folders on my computer but cannot see where I would need to place the saved game to load it.

Thanks.

Search around for a folder that says "Syberia Saves" and just put it in there. I realize you must have tried this, so you may need to search your files for *.sav to find them. If you stick it in there, it will show up when you load the game as a choice.
