Disc Damage Errors
 
Have any of you guys ever had strange glitches because of damage on any Oddworld discs?

The AO I have is heavily damaged and it plays fine except that all the FMV's have a flashing white line on the right and Scrabanian Temple crashes.

My AE Disc 1 will crash if you try to watch the intro movie where Abe talks about Necrum, but I came across a weird bug which I recorded in the video below.

Buy the games from Steam or PSN. Problem solved. :)

JennyGenesis 02-27-2012 01:10 PM

I got the PC versions of both games on CD and they run on my Mac to, so no need for me to use Steam or PSN.

What's the bug? I can't see anything unusual.

The slamdoor doesn't open.

Nate 02-28-2012 01:40 AM

Oh, gotcha. What is the clicking sound when it should be opening?

JG: Have you considered getting one of these doodads to polish up the disks?

I used brasso on a CD-ROM that wouldnt work because it had a deep-ish scratch on it. I only had to smoothen the scratch down a bit for it to work.

slamdoor is such a cool name

There is always buying a new disc?

I'm glad my copies never had any bugs with them, I would be devastated if they did. I've got them upstairs in perfect condition :love:

My PS1 AO disc have's also small scratche's. Once Abe started to walk strangely on air like walking on something... :P
But it happens veeeery rarely... ^^

I'm on my second copy of both AO AE and even those are unplayable now. Plus my psx is pretty much destroyed. Must invest in a new system when I can afford it.

JennyGenesis 02-28-2012 09:43 AM

What I should have put in my original post was after simply resting my PS2 the slam door opened when both wheels were turned.

Xavier 03-01-2012 01:53 AM

You could, you know, take care of your stuff... I've heard it prevents scratches and annoying things like that.

Phylum 03-01-2012 02:04 AM

Exactly what Xavier said.

I don't think I've ever scratched a game disk beyond what falls under general use. You can tell my disks aren't new, but I've never encountered any problems with them. Games I've had since I was 7 are still in excellent condition.

The most damaged disks are all second hand or games my mum played.

Nath 03-01-2012 03:03 AM

That's why I like download coz I can never look after discs properly. Even my dvd's get a bit scratched. Although I am learning to take extra care of my blu rays.

My PC discs are perfectly fine, the AO disc I bought second hand so that's not my fault. But my AE discs are the same ones I had back when the game first came out to which I would have been 5 or 6 at the time.

Is there driving in AO?

Varrok 03-01-2012 11:34 AM

Kind of, yes. There's some driving in AE, too

OANST 03-01-2012 11:56 AM

Cool. Go ahead, and play it, Jenny.

JennyGenesis 03-01-2012 12:25 PM

Do I get to drive a 69 Dodge Charger R/T?

OANST 03-01-2012 12:34 PM

No. Maybe you shouldn't play it after all.

JennyGenesis 03-01-2012 12:36 PM

I best go play Forza 4 then, that game has the car I want!

MeechMunchie 03-01-2012 01:17 PM

How long are you planning on pushing that joke for, OANST?

"Until the engine kicks in."

OANST 03-01-2012 01:27 PM

Stop trying to kill my forced memes.

God, I was fat back then.

MeechMunchie 03-01-2012 01:33 PM

But you're old now.

OANST 03-01-2012 02:02 PM

I've lost 30 pounds since then.

MeechMunchie 03-01-2012 02:05 PM

But you've got 30 years in their place.

I'm not normally this cruel, I just wanted to post that.

OANST 03-01-2012 02:30 PM

I can't.
