Also, for all I knew you were new to gaming and simply did not know.

Originally posted by The Phoenix:Well I like you're way to fix it but I already got on origin so I don't need to do that also I know its not the shortcut, its not like I have a IQ of 1 so chill plus some people like the easy way to fix it unless they really want to play it on steam.Īctually, there is a trick to force certain games to use DirectX 9 that DOES require using the shortcut, so.it would not be unreasonable for someone to think the shortcut is used for something else as well. So if there is no standalone version of "Bejeweled Twist" for the two old laptops this version does nicely indeed. In Puppy Linux mode using Microemulator you can run the JAR (Java) file version of "Bejeweled Twist!" Only the music is present for sound but all gaming elements seem to be present, and it works fine.

You can run them as either Windows OR Puppy Linux devices. Let me know how this works, or what happened if it didn't.įun Trick: All three devices- 2012 ASUS, 2002 Dell, and 2001 Sony- are all Dual Operating System devices. Oh, yes- by EXE file I mean the "Bejeweled Twist" EXE file, not the Steam app file. "Bejeweled 3" failed to run when 3D Acceleration was deactivated, and there were no Registry files for it, oh no! Luckily, right-clicking the EXE file itself (NOT the shortcut!), choosing "Properties" and then "Compatibility," then setting it to run "as Windows 7," did allow it to run so I could reach the Options screen and set it back.ġ) Have you tried that "Compatibility" trick?Ģ) Are you certain 3D Acceleration is set for the game, assuming your computer has it? If not, then setting the game itself- the EXE file- to run "as Windows 7" might do the trick. Since the game won't even start it is impossible to reactivate 3D Acceleration in the Options screen what I had to do was go into the Registry files via Regedit and manually reactivate it- this is not nearly as scary as it sounds. On the 2012 ASUS deactivating 3D Acceleration in the Options screen causes both "Bejeweled Deluxe" and "Bejeweled Twist" to fail completely. What do you mean by "3D Acceleration does not work/Windows 10?" Did you mean it was activated for certain but the game still failed, or that your computer does not have it? Again, "Bejeweled Twist" works just fine so long as the Steam app is activated. I do not have the Internet where I live so any game played is offline. It is important to realize that this game does NOT require contact with the Steam server to run. Since it requires the Steam app one cannot just copy the game folder and try it on, say, the 2002 XP Dell or 2001 XP Sony laptops.

I have this game on the 2012 Windows 8 ASUS laptop. I don't quite understand what you mean, I'm afraid.īejeweled Twist is one of those dratted games that requires the Steam app to run, unlike "Bejeweled 3." I asked about error messages in case you were getting that "Steam.dll" error message, which is easy to deal with.
