How about to provide more information about your OS?! What is the maximum resolution of your Monitor?

- Check your graphic card for new drivers.
- Check your monitor for driver update.
- Check your Windows version for updates and additional updates.

Thanx! Did you try all above suggestions?

If you are from Europe or South-Korea pls try to download Windows Media Feature Pack.

Also check AMD's website for additional driver updates or software to install.

yeah, it is a little bit complicated on Mac. Let's go step by step through the installation for Mac:

- Get wine-staging 3.19

You must be registered to see the links

Install it and move it wherever you want it.
- open your Terminal.app
- type "sh" and hid enter (you may have to enter your password). Afterwards copy this code line into it and hid enter:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

- type "brew install winetricks" hid enter and "brew install cabextract"
- exit
- Launch wine-staging. It will open a shell window in Terminal.
- cd to the location of winetricks. (you better put it next to wine-stating.app)
- type in the Terminal "sh winetricks corefonts" also "sh winetricks devenum quartz ffdshow"
- select defaults for the install
- When you get "Completing the ffdshow Setup Wizard", select "Run video decoder configuration" and "Finish"
- Click "Tray, dialog & paths", then "Tray icons:" "None", "OK"

To run, double click Wine-staging.app. In the Terminal window that pop up, cd to the Man of the House location and type: "wine man of the house.exe"

to launch MotH under wine. You will need to edit it with the location of Wine-staging, or use Wine-staging 3.19 and put it in /Applications (the default installation location). To use, unzip and drop it ino the MotH folder. Double click to launch.

Thank you @goobdoob for your installation guide!

Could you attach your save? Also, it would help to know which version you're playing as well.

Hey.
I have a problem with Ashley's selfie. After I asked her for it, she sends me messages, on the icon I'm reminded that I have three messages but when I go in, they do not appear on the phone, so I can not watch them and I can not go through it. I restarted the game and I play from the last save, it does not help.
When I was on the beach for the first time and chose Veronica, the game took me home, as if we did not go to the beach.

I've got the same problem. Have U soled it?

 

[Sycho]

I've got the same problem. Have U soled it?

@kookoo1976 @Neighbour

Could both of you attach your saves please? And also, was this a new game in version 0.8.6 or did you transfer your save over?

I'm certain that you are missing some optional updates.
- Check Windows Update under "Advance Settings", if the first option is "on".
- pls run dxdiag and provide a screenshot with your DirectX version.
(press Windows-Key and R wait for a Run dialog box and type: dxdiag - click enter)
- are you playing the latest version of the game (0.8.6)?
- No mods?
- are you using an old mapping.xlm (patch) file?

I answered your question in the main thread, see:

But again, update the game to the latest version and start from the beginning. Since v.0.8.3 the grind had been cut and the hint system had been improved a lot!
