I'm so glad there will be a rebuild as I'm sick of having to become a new player to try to get beyond one problem, ony to come upon another. I've given up playing as it's a waste of time. I'll try again when the rebuild comes out.

I wrote to BF, told them I had restarted 3 times and run into different glitches each time. I am now on my 4th, and if I don't get a re-build soon, I am asking for a refund. Hope it comes soon cause if I run into another glitch on the 4th try, I give up. It is becomming boring.
Good luck to all of you and lets hope for a re-build soon.

Hello everyone! I just thought I'd pop in and let everyone know that the new build of Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena is now available for download. If you need help in reinstalling a game, please take a look at our help topic entitled - Uninstall / Reinstall a Game.

This new build addresses the issue people were having with the panel door puzzle in the Kyoto, Japan level. Also, uninstalling the game, and reinstalling the new build of the game will not erase your previous save file for the game. Simply follow the instructions in the help topic, and you should be good to go. If you are having any other technical difficulties, please contact our Customer Support staff by clicking here or by using the Live Chat feature if you are a Game Club member.

Thank you for visiting the forums!

I think there is also a problem with the "find the differences in the picture" in the Asia puzzle. This is very near the end - about 3rd last rose.

After finding all but the last "difference" - the game gets stuck.

Even after using the hint and clicking 50 times where the hint "glows" - nothing works.

I've sent screen shots to tech support and they have confirmed that there is a bug there.

YES INDEED THERE IS MORE THAN A DOOR PANEL PROBLEM GOING ON.

I am soooo happy! I love this game! I am in bliss! And thank you again!

I un-installed/re-installed a few min ago, and I am still stuck in the Egypt room. I have scroll, and black light and I still cannot leave the room.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks,

I uninstalled and reinstalled and I'm still stuck in the laser room. I have placed all the roses and the scarf, only have shield left, all the laser beams are still there and can't use the shield anywhere. So I can't get Doctor Butler to finish the game. I will start all over and see if it will work the second time around.

Seems to me this great game still has some major issues. Sure wish we could get a fix, because I do love the game, and hope for a sequel.

Hello,

This game appears to have either some serious glitches or one major one that really messes with the game at any given point. Big Fish Games should offer a free game to the gamer's that have purchased this in good faith and have been annoyed to no end. It would be a gesture of goodwill, especially to the game club members. From what I surmise, from reading the forum, Big Fish has installed a rebuild of this game. And I think Big Fish has an obligation to email and/or mail letter's informing people of the glitches in this game. I am not still sure if my game purchase has the new and modified re-install. Where is the official location where we can find out if they have indeed fixed the problem in all purchased games? I haven't seen anything in the PC games column in the Help section. Again, Big Fish needs to address this immediately, as this is a potential customer loss waiting to happen. If I owned this company, this would be addressed as fast as I knew there was a problem. And when the problem is verified, I would notify all customer's who purchased this game and let them know when the problem will be fixed and where we go to get the modified game.

I hate to see Big Fish lose the ball, when they have a really good site and great games. But this is dropping the ball, big time. There need's to be an official updates page where we can get the information from Big Fish. The forum is great, but it is not the official company. It is comprised of gamers, mostly. I am curious what the customer's and gamer's have to say. Not that the gamer's are wrong, but I feel it is Big Fish's responsibility to keep us informed about defective games, not the forum. However, I suspect the forum is the platform which Big Fish becomes aware of any potential problems with games. Any comment's?

I had to start all over twice to get past all the glitches but it was most enjoyable every time around. This one is fun to replay.

And Yes! Along with all you others, I do hope they make a sequel soon..

I was waiting for the 'fix' before buying this game ... I think I might be waiting a bit longer going by the posts here

After the 4th attempt I did finish the game, but it was frustrating to say the least. It was a great game, but I also think BF needs to offer us all something in return for all of the problems.
I loved the game, but sure did not like all of the glitches along the way.

Big Fish Games,

If you are reading this. I followed the advice of the moderator of this forum. I have installed and re-installed this game 4 different times. And I just got done doing it 5 minutes ago. According to the forum moderator, we should have been able to re-install this game and go right to where we left off. And it doesn't work, so I would like to hear from Big Fish, as this is really annoying. Again, you need to post a Critical Updates on your website to address game failure's, instead of hearing it on the forum. You should have a tab at the top of your website, where you put download games, online games, game community, forums, and my account. There should be a Critical Updates tab, where gamers can go to get the official notice from you, not a forum. This would be a big help. Any response from Big Fish Games would be the right thing to do and very much appreciated from the customer's who purchased this game. I am not re-installing this game until Big Fish notifies me and if they don't, I will be asking for a refund. Thank you.

Those of you still having issues really should contact tech support. The number of people not having issues say that there might be something more going on, possibly with your machine. I've had zero issues with the first release and I'm running Vista. I've played the game 3 times and had no problems.

I think that the number of people having issues it telling of somethng gone awry with the game not our indivual computers! How many of us have not posted their problems with this game, like me!

You should really contact tech support. If a problem is caused by certain computer configurations- if they don't know about it, they cant make updates to the game and post the updates for you.
