*Troubleshooting:

  1. On OSX, once you download the game, unzip the file. If you Double click the game icon, it may not open. Instead, Right click (or Control + Click) the game icon and click “Open“. You will get a pop up window:
    Click “Open“!
  2. On Windows, once you download the game, unzip the file (extract all). If you Double click the game icon, you may get a warning. On the warning (see left below), click More info. This will confirm the game SailingWithTheGods.exe and Shiny Dolphin Games LLC (of K. Dressel) (see right below). Select the button Run anyway to play the game!
  3. If you get a black screen: First, make sure that you downloaded the correct version for your operating system. If you still get a black screen on the correct operating system, open the game, resize the game window smaller, and close the game. Reopen the game (it should open at the smaller size), and see if it loads correctly. If you have tried this, be aware that a computer with no available memory, or a smaller computer such as a MacBook Air, may not have enough processing power for the current version of the game to fully load properly. Try playing the game as the only open app. Feel free to e-mail us at samothracian [dot] networks [at] gmail [dot] com with any further questions.
