  • The demo crashes shortly after showing some white bar on black with the following text: 
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xdeadbeef in 32-bit code (0xdeadbeef).
In 32-bit mode.

* The demo installs for me using Cedega 4.2 and then runs. However, I get a black screen with some strange
 music fading in and out. I tried waiting and pressing space/esc/enter but I get nothing else. It doesn't 
crash though. That is with OSS - with ALSA I get no sound and still a blank screen.

Game Issues

  • The Game will successfully Install but takes several hours.
  • Cedega 5.2.4 Experiences the same issues as previously recorded demo installations. The Game starts up but will just hang on a black screen.
    • Suspect issues with 'Bink Video' component of the game. Saw simular issues with 'Republic Commando'.
  • With 6.0 the game will install but can mangle the path to the executable. When you open the properties of a shortcut check the "Path to executable". If you see any odd characters, then just replace that with the proper character(s). Once that is done, the game will most likely run. It is adviced to update the game to the latest version with the supplied update program.
    • Check if the shortcut properties (path to executable) for the game is set to contain C:/Program Files/UBISOFT/Myst IV - Revelation/bin/ and NOT to C:/Program Files/UBISOFT/Myst IV - Revelation[WEIRDCHARACTERHERE]in/ When the [WEIRDCHARACTERHERE] is replaced with /b the game just runs. If this is the case for the game shortcut, then this also applies to the other program shortcuts.
