So, I just today bought Abe's Odyssey for my laptop off gog, and, sadly, whenever I launch it, I am greeted with the initial text on the game launch, but then the picture fails to change and get stuck. The game carries on as normal, sound and whatnot, the game even launches.

After looking online for a solution, I changed the compatibility settings multiple times for the game, changed my screen resolution, but nothing. I looked further for a solution but was sadly greeted by a load of technical talk, which may as well been a foreign language.


I know my laptop can handle a PS1 game from 1997, it handles Age of empires 3 and shogun: Total war easily enough.

Anyone got a solution that I would be able to understand?

Have you tried re-downloading it?

It may not be compatible with current systems without a patch or something.

Just checked, no patches are available.
