Lost save slots after the restart

October 22nd, 2009

If you have lost your save slots in Machinarium after the restart you should try these steps:

- Right-click on the screen to get to the Adobe Flash Player Settings Tabs, select the little folder icon and make sure the slider is NOT set to none! You need at least 100 KB.

- If you use CCleaner you need to exclude the save directory:
1. Open ccleaner.
2. Options
3. “Exclude”
4. Add Folder
5. Search the save path, eg C:\Users{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{RANDOMWORD}\localhost\Program Files\Machinarium\machinarium.exe
check if the box is in | *.* |
6. Accept
5. Ready now can use ccleaner and do not erase your saved game.

- If you use BetterPrivacy addon for Firefox you need to change its settings:
With Machinarium running, switch to a Firefox session. Open up Better Privacy’s options. In its “LSO Manager” tab, you will see an entry for machinarium.exe. Highlight the entry and hit the “Prevent Automatic LSO Deletion” button. Better Privacy will now leave Machinarium’s Flash settings alone, but continue to sweep away the bad stuff.

Machinarium release MD5 checksums

October 18th, 2009

We were asked if it’s possible to give you MD5 checksums of the files from pre-order release so here it is:

4866aa0d298c280b533755f552f1ee14  Machinarium_full_en.dmg
a404de4abcc058f3651b7b659e51d2eb  Machinarium_full_en.exe
483a5fe220a1b3f5ac2b4a92a69df895  Machinarium_full_en.tar.gz
5755fb72e1c85ab404ea830588d9607c  MachinariumSoundtrack.zip

Since 24.10.2009 the checksums will be:

49f4353e8e4a120eb9e5ca274afacdd6  Machinarium_full_en.dmg
85fd81c752ae3b76d46670ec69c6652d  Machinarium_full_en.exe
f2b039c7e0d98a8b589e493357f4361b  Machinarium_full_en.tar.gz

For those who doesn’t know what it means: it may be useful if you want to check that your download was correct and also for people who are downloading our files from “different unofficial” sources that the files are unmodified.

Machinarium Soundtrack – independent buy

October 17th, 2009

The Machinarium Soundtrack is included in the game, if you buy it directly on our website. If you buy game on services like Steam the soundtrack is not included but it is still possible to get it if you are interested. Please check the website in week or subscribe to Floex mailing list to let you know, when it is available.

You can get it here: http://innerfx.ithinkmusic.com/my-store/detail.php?page=LR&r=9645. Check this link if you are interested in flac version too.

It is maybe good to point out, that the music is not totally the same as in the game. It was carefully re-mixed and mastered for the purposes of the “standalone soundtrack”. Moreover some songs were rearranged to work on its own…

There are not all the songs on the soundtrack, because i felt some songs didn’t fit to the general mood and the flow of the album – so i decided to omit them.

Good new is that we are planning small bonus album EP with 5 extra songs for free download including the one with the robot band, pipe wrench dubstep, or the song from the lift by the wall… so please stay tuned!
