For those with 3D acceleration problems; you can find a fix in the FAQ's thread (see end of review for link) i.e. right click on the games shortcut or alternatively the games executable found in the games installed folder and select PROPERTIES, then select the COMPATABILITY tab and select/check the box that says either MODIFY SETTINGS OF HIGH DPI VALUES or OVERRIDE HIGH DPI SCALING BEHAVIOUR. SCALING PERFORMED BY: then ​​Click OK and then APPLY. That should fix the problem. :)

The Game:

What do you know about archeologists? It seems to most of us that the fate of an archeologist is boring and consists of simple digging the ground and looking at the ancient vases. But it's not so. It's an interesting job and now you'll be able to learn more about it. The latest events proved that the life of an archeologist can be dangerous. Jane has just learnt bad news - her colleague has disappeared suddenly. Is it possible to find him? You'll have to join Jane Lucky in her search and you'll realize that the job of a simple archeologist can be breathtaking and unusual. You'll make some attempts to help this woman and various tasks will help you

Step by step you'll discover new places to look for hidden objects. Use all your skills and attention to prove you can be a responsible worker. You'll also feel you're a detective who is trying to discover the case on his own. You'll be given a list of subjects to make your search easier. Besides, you can look at the pictures to find things. But do it quickly because nobody knows where Jane Lucky’s colleague is. There are puzzles that need to be solved before you can find the solution to the problem. Solve them and learn what will happen next.

Having problems installing today's game?

If you have a problem installing or activating or getting Jane Lucky to work please visit the problems section, which you can find in the FAQ's thread HERE. Also read through the community’s comments because sometimes fixes have already been posted. The main issue we have is with the giveaway wrapper, which uses a Themida based code to protect the games executable. Unfortunately, Themida is also used to hide malware; so, as a precaution, some security software may block the installation and sometimes even delete the executable file. Blocking or deletion is usually determined partly by the way your computer is set up. Usually you'll get a message saying ''the file is corrupted'', but in reality, the files are okay. There are a couple of things you can do to overcome this issue. The first is to reboot in safe mode with networking, install the game then reboot, or secondly you can (at your own risk) temporarily turn off your security, install the game, then turn your security back on. A note of reassurance to those that choose the latter and quicker method. The game giveaway team have been giving away games for over a decade (Dec 2006 & prior to that, via the main site 2 or 3 times weekly from Oct 2006 to Dec 2006) and have 'NEVER' given away a game infected with malware; they always test every giveaway with several of the top anti-malware suites to ensure all games are free from malware.

If for any reason you want to contact the giveaway team, for example, if you have a problem getting the latest game or other issues that the FAQ's thread or these comments don't cover or solve or if you have a game to offer the community you can do so HERE
