Working Man v1.01 (August 8th 2015)

[redle]

This is mostly repeating information already said, but in case it wasn't clear...

You must have .NET framework v2.0 installed. If it isn't search in m$oft downloads for a version of it for your OS.
Cheers!

It seems like I automatically have it because it came with Win8. But unfortunately it seems to not work. But thank you anyways!

I think it is a Win8 problem...

Thank you very much! I tried both solutions, even installed .NET 4.6, tried many others but I got no hope. I guess I will not be able to play this AIF But thank you very much anyways for your help!
*EDIT: Other ADRIFT games seem to work fine on my pc. Interestingly my PC decided not to play Working Man I suppose..

I know many pieces of software work such that if you have a newer version, then you can load or run anything older. Both ADRIFT and .NET are not like this. You must have the version that is an exact match. So, in the case of .net, having v3.5 and/or v4.6, for the purposes of playing this game, is the same as not having .net installed at all. You must find .net v2.0. It must be exactly this version and install it.

If you've already tried this, and it still doesn't work, all I can suggest is give more details. Describe exactly when in the process of running the game you get an error. Copy all of the text from the error and list it. Then describe what happens after the error (i.e. the game closes on its own; the game stays open, but I can't do anything; the game keeps running, but every time I try to do something I get a repeat of the error; etc).

Just so people know it is NOT a windows 8 problem. I played this on Windows 8 before I upgraded to Win10. (It works with no drama on Win10 too)

.net is pre-installed on Win8 (probly Win7 too) and trying to manually install it will just give a popup saying its already part of your system and will exit the installation process.

Make sure that win 8 is using the older .net frameworks too: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/enable- ... windows-8/ It could be your set to use 4.6 but not the older frameworks, you need both enabled.

Now I do have adrift 5 installed, uninstalled and it still works fine, but if you dont have it installed you might want to try installing it as it may come with additional resources that are added to the system during the install but not removed during the uninstall. http://www.adrift.co/download

Finally if the 2 above things dont work the only thing I can think of other than something on your PC interfering with the functionality of your PC is DirectX. Win8 uses DirectX11, but does not include DX9, you may need to add DX9 files to your PC. You can get them at: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=8109 and yes this again is something I have done with Win8 and again with win10 due to several games that require these older files.

Has anybody else played the game on Windows8 ?

The executable works just fine on my Windows 8 install.

I was having the same problem too, after I changed my computer's language and location settings to the USA it's solved.

Wow, thanks everybody for your massive support I honestly did not expect that much So .NET2.0 was already installed, ADRIFT 5.0 already was up to date, I tried other IF games from ADRIFT website and they worked fine and I was about go crazy until

I was having the same problem too, after I changed my computer's language and location settings to the USA it's solved.

I tried this and BOOM Everything worked just fine and I can finally play this game

Thank you all again for your awesome support.
And thank you Xabio especially.

Hi,
I used to be able to play the game without any problems, but now whenever I go to the cafeteria for the first time working man stops responding at first, then it resumes but I can't save the game (the message "cancelled" appears) and images won't load (only text appears when I examine someone for exmample).

Can someone help me fix this?

Hey Ice,

Is there any update on the follow up to this. I was really impressed by Working Man and am looking forward to the sequel.

Games of this quality and complexity normally take years to make. I doubt we will see anything else from this author for a while.

Really lovely game. One of the reasons I started my own project. Looking forward to any future stuff from him.

does anyone has the problem of missing images? I can see some of the pictures but most of them are unseen with an error message.
What might be the problem and what is the solution to it? Thanks in advance!

I did actually and I still don't know what I'm missing because it is just my second time to play this kind of game. Just at the beginning I recieve and ADRIFT error message saying "bad expression ...". During the game, I can see some images but for example in blowjob scene I don't see any and I keep recieving error messages and some like missing image file notifications.

Some users have reported that putting the locale to English US fixes expressions errors they were having.

there will be any update, or the game is finished?
