As reported previously some versions of Giana’s Return suffer from a transparency bug. It’s now fixed for the following systems: Windows, Ubuntu, Caanoo, GP2x, Wiz.

You can download the full package from our download page. Alternate just download the small file tiles.zip and replace the unpacked file with data/tiles.zda

The fixed version for the other systems will come a little bit later.

Update 01.02.2011: Dreamcast version fixed

Update 02.02.2011: Amiga OS4, AROS, MorphOS, NetBSD x86, NetBSD PPC versions are now fixed, too.

Some users reported a transparency bug. The issue has been tracked down and we will provide an updated graphics data file soon. A complete package fix will follow for v1.01.

Some people obviously have a problem with their Anti-Virus claiming that the Giana’s Return executable is having a virus. The exe changes the screen resolution and checks for connected devices such as joypads or joysticks. This might be seen as critical action and makes the one or other Antivirus moan. The majority of Antivirus-Solutions acts correct and does not find anything.

Indiket has updated the Dreamcast port of Giana’s Return! We hope the few Dreamcast users left out there will like the game!

On a sidenote: Indiket has birthday today! Happy Birthday! :)
