Yea made the adjustment with the QFI setup file, got it full screen and all is good.

Game is great, absolutely in love with it.

If you got the game on steam those files they mention are in your steam folder, steam apps, QFI.

Yeah, AGS currently doesn’t allow for the in-game adjustment of graphics options.  It’s a feature we hope to be able to do in the future though.

Sorry that was bothersome to you, Karlok.  Next time, I’ll have the person making installers address these concerns.

This is the first I’ve heard of this particular issue.  The default installation directory should be something like Program Files/Quest for Infamy.  I’d check there first.

If there was indeed an install problem, it may be a download issue where you’d need to redownload the game—I know that in the past, with other AGS games, download errors sometimes affect the installation.

In any case, I’ll send a message to the guy who made the installer and see if he can shed some light on it.

I’m honestly not sure if it’s supposed to work that way or not—I’ve only played the Steam version of the release build.  I suspect there may be some technical issue here though.  I’ve sent a message to our installer guy—he’s usually pretty quick about getting back to us, so I’ll update you or send him over here as soon as I hear from him.  For future reference, the best place to post technical support questions would be on our own forums, in the tech support section here:

We’ve got people on hand that can help straighten things out more quickly than if stuff is posted on other community boards that we may not see for a while.  We’ll try to get it sorted out for you as soon as we can.

Sorry you are having issues with it. I doubt that it is a bad download or it would not pass the CRC check. There is obviously something on your system that is preventing it from getting past the initialization phase. What OS? What security software do you have? Did you close out all other running programs before? Did you try turning off your AV for the install to prevent issues with false positives?

Karlok - I was taking your complaint seriously, I WAS going to ask the person who made the installer about it - he has replied here (Collector).  I am answering many questions across the board currently, but I do care about your problems.  We’ll get to the bottom of this.

Attempt to interact with Voleris after your conversation and a tragic line of text appears: “there’s nothing you would like more than to touch her”. Such wilful objectification of women is wholly unacceptable, yet unfortunately, it’s a theme that perpetuates throughout the game

So apparently we’re only allowed to play as Ned Flanders now. Next, stealing and killing will be “wholly unacceptable”, along with anything other than thinking innocent thoughts and reading the bible at home.

At least one of the other reviews has also said that the roles of all women in the game are horribly stereotyped. It’s one thing having a character (even a lead character) who’s sexist and treats women badly (makes it difficult for me to empathise with the character but certainly isn’t a total no-no) but it’s a different issue having a whole game world where ALL women are portrayed in such a way. As a different reviewer (who was overall positive about the game) wrote:

it bugs me that all but one woman in this game (that I found) are just dressed-up eye-candy for the players (and, I suppose, Roehm) to gawk at.

I play adventures with my wife & I think we’d have little interest in playing a game in which the main role all women play is as sex objects for men. Admittedly I haven’t played the game at all - I was put off backing it by the impression it gave beforehand of portraying women as sex objects, plus irritated at the time by Lamb’s contributions on this forum, and I never played QfG anyway. But I’d be interested in a response on the issue from Blackthorne (or Lamb) on the issue - the artwork does look very nice on some screenshots & I’d like to know whether to keep QfI in mind as a possible future purtchase or not.

Obviously, I have a biased view about it, having been in on the production, but it’s worth noting that MOST characters in this game are stereotypes, not just the women.  The whole game is meant to take the piss out of your standard pulp fantasy tropes: the gruff sheriff, the snooty mayor, the burly blacksmith, the smarmy rogue, the crafty sorcerer, the jolly innkeeper, etc. etc. etc., including the warrior woman, the femme fatale, the mysterious seductress.  It’s all meant as parody and satire, and is addressed with the same sarcastic humor as every other element of the game.

It hasn’t worked for some people, others have gotten what we were going for and even praised it.  I do think it’s interesting that some of our most glowing reviews have been from female reviewers though, and they never even mentioned it.  Not sure what I mean to suggest with that, but so far the people bothered by it do seem to be in the minority.  It’s not a Leisure Suit Larry game, by any means.  I don’t think the humor ever really crosses over into being crass.  Silly, yes.  Sarcastic, absolutely.  But not crass (at least, not intentionally.)

Steve was the primary writer, so he can speak more specifically to the intentions behind those characters.  I’m sure he’ll have a thoughtful response for you soon.
