Hi guys ! This color fix is for anyone who can't play in windows 7 or have messed colors showing up. What you have to do is create a .bat file with the following lines taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe sapphire.exe Start explorer.exe create it in Notepad, save it as .bat (only rename it to sapphire.bat ,it will automatically save a bat file) and then click THE BAT FILE YOU'VE CREATED to play). it must be placed at the same folder sapphire.exe is (Normally, C:\sapp31). Note:This will close all folders open before loading the game, and won't re-open then after closing it. If you don't know how to create the bat file, simply get the one i've attached here Glad to help ^^ Attachments:

Great trick, used it all the time when playing on Windows 7. It doesn't work for Windows 8 though (at least not for me), when I find a fix I will post it here.
Edit: now it seems to work fine on Windows 8 without fixes but I only get like 10 fps.

Edit: now it seems to work fine on Windows 8 without fixes but I only get like 10 fps. Windows 8 indeed has problems running Sapphire Yours and there doesn't seem to be an easy fix. I tested this on many computers and the best way to run it acceptably is by lowering the resolution to 640*480. Even the most powerful PC's struggle running it at decent resolutions. The upcoming Sapphire Yours however runs perfectly smooth on Windows 8.

How do you know this? Are you involved in developing it or is it just a logical guess?

How do you know this? Are you involved in developing it or is it just a logical guess? Yes, as a long term fan I'm helping Reinhard by refreshing the artwork and animations, and by designing new UI throughout the game. The testing environment I'm using is a Windows 8 partition, in which the development build runs as expected. Might be a little outdated, but here's a look at some of the refreshed artwork:

Wow, thanks for the sneak peek, that looks awesome! I only feel like the artwork of the boulder doesn't really 'match' with the rest of the artwork, I think it is not smooth enough, like the previous boulder. The swamp looks a bit pixelated but that's just my opinion. And maybe more detail in the explosions? The rest of the artwork is simply great! Look at that bomb - simple and gorgeous. The doors are minimalistic but it will add the right atmosphere to the game I think, and so does the rest of the artwork. I've also noticed there is a new yellow gem to be introduced. My first question would be: in what way does it change the direction of a laser that passes through? A little of a side story: as a kid playing Sapphire Yours 2.1 back in the day, I used to draw level concepts in my school notebook and also imagine there were game elements not yet present in the game. I thought about a yellow gem that would deflect a laser beam by 45 degrees and thus create a diagonal laser beam. It would be pure coincidence if this turns out to be really implemented in the game after all those years . The last I'd like to say is I'm really happy there is a new version of Sapphire Yours on the way to be released. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to play this game. And this is to you but also to the whole team working on Sapphire Yours, if there is any need to promoting the game when it's near completion, just send me a PM and I'll be glad to help

Holy... This image made my day! This new artwork is like the original but upgraded! I'm glad to see that you guys are working in this, I hope to see your game done in future. Maybe you could make a way through Steam greenlight, I think. I'd totally buy it.
