Queen's Wish: The Conqueror for Windows
Latest Windows Update of Queen's Wish
We have updated Queen's Wish for Windows to v1.1.1. To update the full version, go to where you dowloaded the full game from, re-download the new version, and install it over your existing installation.
Common Windows Issues
Spiderweb Software has been in business for 30 years, and we write purely icon-based games. It's a much older style, and it doesn't allow infinite zooming in or out in the way that 3D games do. If your monitor is greater than 2600 pixels wide, the game might appear small on your screen. We want everyone to have fun with our games, so here are a few tips if your monitor is really big. When you launch the game and the resolution window comes up, try this:
We’re sorry for the confusion here. It’s not ideal, but sometimes the advance of technology gets ahead of you. Thanks for your patience, and we hope that the games are fun enough to justify it. |
The v1.0.1 patch should resolve a lot of crashes and weird graphical issues. Here are some other tips that may help.
If you still have problems, contact us at support@spiderwebsoftware.com. |
Steam’s current system can make it difficult to find hint books and other extras. To actually get at the hint book, follow these steps:

If you are using a newer version of 64 bit Windows, it is very important to make sure that you have the latest graphics drivers for your video card. Many video cards are having problems with the new operating system. If the game is crashing or the graphics occasionally look wrong, go and get and install the newest graphics drivers for your card. If this doesn't help, watch for new drivers to be released for your card. |
Queen's Wish uses DirectX and is, graphically, not a very demanding game. However, some systems, due to hardware or video driver problems, have been having trouble running it at an acceptable speed. Other systems have displayed odd or corrupted graphics. Should the game not run correctly for you, follow the steps below:

Unfortunately, something has gone wrong with the software Apple uses to authenticate apps. This is resulting in our games sometimes refusing to launch on the newest versions of MacOS. We aren't the only developer whose games are having this problem. We believe Apple will fix it soon. Until then, there is a workaround that should make your game work.
We apologize for this inconvenience, and we hope this gets you running until the problems with Apple’s authentication are fixed. Thank you for your patience! |

If the game will not launch or you launch the game and the graphics don't appear or look wrong, quit the game. Then go into Steam and turn off Steam Overlay. To turn the Steam Overlay off: Go to the Steam Menu in the upper left, select Preferences, UN-check the "Enable the Steam Overlay while in game.” Select Ok to save it. This fixes problems with a number of Macintosh games on Steam. |
If you are using a Macbook with a Retina screen and choose a too-large resolution to play the game, the game may be drawn with a large portion of the play area offscreen. That is because the largest resolutions can only be drawn in Retina mode, and games written with OpenGL technology (which is almost all Mac games) don't handle Retina correctly. One workaround for this is to play the game in Windowed mode. Another is to pick as a resolution the size of your monitor is ordinary (not Retina) pixels. This resolution will be half the size of the largest resolution the game offers. (For example, it will be 1280x800 for 13" MacBooks and 1440x900 for 15" MacBooks.) If you have already chosen for the game to always open in full screen mode, you can undo this by deleting the settings file. Open a window in the Finder. Type Command-Shift-G and enter "~/Library/Preferences". Throw away the file com.spiderwebsoftware.Avernum3. Launch Queen's Wish, and the resolution selection window will appear again. |
Queen's Wish's graphics needs are modest, but they might put some strain on older machines. Some steps might be necessary to help it to run better.

Open that folder and your saved games will be inside, in folders named 'Save0', 'Save1', etc.
