My computer...

has a mind of its own. The glitches are back. I know you guys don't want to hear about all the freakiness that seems to materialize from my computer, but I love The Endless Forest, and I want to tell you about it. I now play the game as an administrator (this had solved my picture problem). Playing the game as an admin allows me to take and access the screenshots that go into my folder. Except, for the past week, my PC has been playing a cruel joke on me, every time I want to play the game as an admin to take pictures. I believe that the glitch is a result of the past old versions of TEF that I installed (in the one that I saw the pig-deer, 2.02; some of you know what I mean).

Anyway, I usually play the game in a large window. But whenever the glitch happens, the game automatically goes to fullscreen, no borders or anything to get out of the game. The language on the menu is stuck in either Polski or Dutch. My deer...looks like he's been starving he's so skinny. And the forest....there are no landmarks, no grass, no trees, no crying fountain, no twin gods, no ruins, no playground, no nothing. There is nothing beyond the nothingness. It feels eerily lonely, being the only really messed-up looking deer in a completely wiped forest. When I go to where the ruins should be, there are just shadows on the ground where the stone is supposed to be placed. The hole in the middle of the ruins, though, looks even deeper and creepier than it does in the actual game. My deer can moo, but he blows black bubbles and doesn't make a sound. His face looks as if someone took a frying pan and smushed it in with the end of it. It always gave me chills when I saw the void. It came more readily in the glitch than in the game. You could get to the void just by falling asleep in the glitch. Although I'm the only deer in the glitch, when I get to void by sleeping, there are other deer I observe in sleep mode, staring me in the face. No eyes, either... The sad part is, I can't take pictures, because it's a GLITCH. But if I could, I'd show you just how freakishly screwed up the forest is. It makes me both sad and creeped out at the same time, because I can't take pictures like I used to, and that I even have the displeasure of seeing the beautiful forest so freaking messed up.

If any of you know what this glitch means or how to fix it...please...let me know. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

I've had this glitch too, and

I've had this glitch too, and I do believe it happens when files from different versions somehow get mixed up? i'm not sure. the only way i know of to fix it is to uninstall completely and reinstall. just always make sure you have all your different versions in separate folders.

The deermuda got mad. It now

The deermuda got mad.
It now destroys ur forest, wants to catch u in the abyss of dreams and sends end fawns and end stags to u.

No jk, really I'm very sorry to hear that. I miss you, and the Forest is so lovely today. ;;
Michael came, made the sky purple, it's raining flowers, giant dandelions everywhere and fawn sets stick. And Jennie runs around as cute little rotten fawn because Ben turned into zombie fawn first to creep out Flyleaf, it seemed, and she got infected did that then too, lol.

I know that glitch well. It is a glitch of lowest details. Anytime I play 3.31, it happens, so I must run it as an administrator. I believe the old versions are not on too good terms with too new windows. I believe your windows in newer than mine. But what you explain to me is a way too creepy. The black bubbles and the abyss of dreams [so is the void called...] where deermuda's cursed servants annoy you got me totally.
I also believe that you still have some files from the virused up and glitched up phase two stuff?
Search your computer. Type the endless forest there or whatever. Delete everything related to TEF, uninstall it all, manually non-manually. If you still have any piece of old virused up stuff, I don't think I am even surprised. Maybe it's just me, but when there's a virus in my PC I go totally delete all dangerous, scan, scan, delete, once again scan and not-with-a-ten-foot-pole.
So perhaps this could make it. Erase the TEF and reinstall it again, from nowhere but Tale of Tales.
Again, perhaps that could make it. Not sure though.

If you have more versions, you must have them separated otherwise they will mess up eachother and 'fight'. I believe the bubbles are reaching into your game from the old version. I also believe your game files are messed up too, the black bubbles may be problem in lights file and the void may mean that your forest floors file is in not-too-best shape, as well.

Right now, I think that erasing completely and bringing back to life, as I explained, is what can actually help. Anyway, I'll be here if you need me.


All best, Jennie. ♥♥

:') Thank you guys. I've

:') Thank you guys. I've known the Endless Forest for awhile, and I don't plan to stop playing it anytime soon just because of a glitch. Thank you for your suggestions, Unplugged, and Jennie. I'll try every one of them to see if they work. I've tried uninstalling everything related to TEF (even the creepy old versions) and will reinstall the new version now...and ONLY the new version.
I've also tried uninstalling any other unnecessary programs that magically seemed to install themselves on my computer since who knows when. I hate annoying ads. xD

Again, thank you for helping me out; I'm glad there are people out there who know how to handle computer problems better than I that I can talk to. Smiling

Hopefully I'll see all you awesome people in the normal forest sometime soon.

Yeah, I begin to believe that

Yeah, I begin to believe that is the problem. You must have them separated or they'll mess up. Just delete competely everything and reinstall.

O-O Jennie, that's exactly

O-O Jennie, that's exactly what it looks like!!! How can you take a picture of it, though?! I can never seem to get that to work...


That's exactly what it looks like. And poor deer...always creeps me out with his appearance. xD

Print screen key, but you can

Print screen key, but you can take only one screenshot at time that way.
How did you made the deer moo? I wanna see if it'll blow black bubbles!

Aaand did you tried what I told you?

I have one of those

I have one of those keys...but I didn't know I could use it to take pictures!! oOo and where do they go, anyway??
To make the deer moo, I just pressed the moo button in the glitch, and he opened his creepy mouth and blew a big, black bubble. Your deer cannot blow bubbles? I thought that was just part of the glitch. Well, I guess it was for me. I'm so glad I cleaned my computer now. And I did! I reinstalled The Endless Forest! I hope it works this time....

♥ yay!!!
