Please post any TECH ISSUES for Vacation Adventures: Cruise Director 3 here.

A thread for any tech issues you may have. Please also include the operating system you are using.

I have all the other Vacation Adventures games, and would happily have had this one, also. Unfortunately, although the demo downloaded and installed with no problem, it won't open....or rather, it opens, and then immediately closes, showing that I still have 60 minutes left. Too bad. Certainly will not purchase when I can't even play the demo.

Hello everyone!

If you are having problems getting the game to work correctly, we highly recommend going to our Help pages. Using our Help pages is always the quickest way to get technical problems resolved. Here are a few suggested articles that have helped many people correct these types of problems in the past:

Game Crashing, Freezing, or Blank Screen

Game Compatibility

Run Game as Administrator

While we can offer a known solution for technical issues in the Forums, or other tech savvy pond residents can swim by with good tips and suggestions, we cannot provide the same excellent level of support provided by our Customer Support team.

The Forums are not very well suited for the kinds of information gathering and troubleshooting that get these types of issues corrected quickly.

If there is a problem with the game, our Support Team can also gather necessary information on what types of computers are being affected by the problem and deliver this information to the developer for a fix.

If you are not able to get a game working properly using our Help pages, please get in touch with our Customer Support team, you can find a link to contact our Support team on the front page of our Help pages.

When posting in this thread and also when contacting our Support Team, it would be helpful if you could state what system you are playing the game on (i.e. PC, MAC or Mobile), so we can provide you with the appropriate support as quickly as possible.

*Finally, please reserve this thread for tech issues only. If you are seeking game play assistance (i.e. hints and tips), the best thing to do is to start a new thread in the game's Forum by clicking on 'Create New Discussion.'

Hi, everybody, Unfortunately, same problem than Jennsmom and I am really really desappointed. No problem with the 1 and 2, they work perfectly.
Anyway, I re-download 3 but nothing happened, still the same.
So far, No Cruise today! What a pity!
Hope BFG teams will find a solution to fix it ASAP.
Thanks,

Same here I have all the games also never had problem with any of the games.
I started to I play the games first before I buy anymore to many games are released before completely checking them for problems and have to figure how to fix , I just ask for a refund.
. Very disappointing anymore with Bigfish Games that are released and do not download or errors popping up. Hope some one is taking a look, love the game oh well can't have everything . Maybe it will work tomorrow will see.

I am playing on Windows 7 PC

Having the same issues, downloads and installs fine. Won't open completely. Running Windows 7. One and two work fine. **UPDATE*** I followed steps for the "Freezing, Crashing and Not Playing" instructions under Windows 7. Checked the graphics card, it was set as suggested so no luck there. So I updated Adobe Flash, and it turned out I didn't even have Shockwave on here so I thought, surely, that's the problem! HA! Nope, still won't play..............sigh..........guess I won't be playing this one no matter how much I liked the others>>>>>>>>>>

Sorry, just realized I posted in the wrong thread. I am having trouble displaying the game properly - even if I set the screen resolution at the lowest possible point, I only get about a quarter of the display (and then have to reboot to regain control of the machine, because I can't see the game menu to exit). I'm running a new Mac with OS X El Capitan v10.11.6. Any advice, Big Fish Games folks?

I'm not able to even download the game. I'm on a PC running Vista sp2. Where the Buy Now and Try Now buttons are located, it reads

Big Fish Game Club Members Only

I was billed for my membership today. I am showing the Buy Now and Try Now features on all of the other games.

I have been waiting for months for this game. I hope we can all play soon!

I'm also only getting a quarter of the screen. Downloaded several times and get the same results. Running on an IMac with El Capitan. Would love to play, but at this point, it is not happening. Please give us guidance!!!!!!!!

My issue is that it comes up wayy too big for the screen
I have a mac

I have downloaded the game, uninstalled and re installed it and the game manager and still get a solid white screen. I used a game credit to purchase since I have the others, and now I can't play it.

I can't open the game either. All settings are correct according to the "tech help". I used a game credit for this game and unless the developer is going to fix the issue I want my credit back

I'm on a Mac and having the same problem as many others - too big for the screen. I have to force quit it every time. I've deleted, redownloaded, and reinstalled and still have the same problem. I have all the other Vacation Adventures and have never had a problem before.

I get a white quarter of the screen and had to alt,ctrl delete to close it .


Windows 7 Home Premium. 64bit
ASUS
The other two Vacations played fine.

I am also on a Mac and unable to play because there is no way to get to an Options page and reduce the size of the game screen.

I run a Mac on El Capitan. Same problem.I only get a quarter of the screen, no matter what the screen resolution is set to.
BFG does not have a solution...??
System requirements at purchase said that it was compatible with OS 11.10!

Am having the same problem as jennsmom. downloaded great, opens and shut down immediately. Never had a problem with any of the big fish games before.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled five times and rebooted and it still does the same thing. My BIG problem is that I already bought this game because I liked the other ones so much. Very disappointed in Big Fish as I have contacted the support team three times without an answer.

When I open the game, the window is four times the size of my screen and off to the right, so I can only see one fourth of the game and it's impossible to play. This is Cruise Director 3 for Mac, and I'm attempting to play on a Macbook Pro.

Figured I add my voice to the mix. I'm running Windows 10 and I'm experiencing the same issues as the rest of the group. I did follow all of the troubleshooting steps listed and sent off a Dr. Felix report. BFG responded very quickly with a coupon code for a free game which I greatly appreciate but I'm very bummed about not being able to play this game. I truly hope that it doesn't get lost in the 'void' and they don't find a fix...my past experiences with this same type of error is that I'm just out of luck!
