Alt+Tab causes Twitter login fail[edit]
Using Alt+Tab ↹ appears to cause loaded tweets to fail.[6]
Non-US keyboard[edit]
Appears to be treating all international keyboards as US keyboards.[6]
Black Backgrounds & Other Missing Graphics/Videos[edit]
May or may not be related to ATI Cards but the game does not display background graphics or intro video.[7] The log lists various information, for example:
Sword And Sworcery Guide
- Verifying Steam download results in it attempting to fix but does nothing.
- Completely reinstalling after deleting local content does not fix.
- Latest video drivers does not fix.
Some users have had success fixing this by disabling the Catalyst A.I. in the AMD Control Center.[8]
Black Screen Freeze[edit]
The game will sometimes freeze in the transition between areas and at the end of a section.ALT-tabbing out and back works between areas, but when stuck after the second level it can be stuck permanently.
Soundtrack[edit]
The Steam version comes with the game's soundtrack in MP3 format (FLAC and others available here). It can be accessed by going to <path-to-game>soundtrack.
