Hi, the title just kinda sums it up. When you try to play the tie in game of the 2007 movie on PC, in Windows 10, a bug happens where the characters can't properly climb buildings. Bumblebee and Megatron in particular are affected in a way that prevents you from completing the game.

I know it's a crappy old game, but does anyone know if a fix exists? Some sort of fan made patch? A workaround? Anything?

Edit: It's months later now but, in case some other lost soul has this problem and somehow stumbles upon this post looking for the solution, I've found one:

Limiting the fps to 60. I used Riva Tuner's Statistics Server for this. Gives me some pretty bad screen tearing, but fixes the climbing issue.

There, probably nobody will ever see this post again, but if someone does, at least it won't be another dead end!

If you can find the EXE file that starts the program (right click on the icon and choose properties, you should be able to find it that way), right click on the EXE file and select properties. Under the compatability tab you can then tick on compatability mode and select windows 7.

It MAY work, I dunno, this is just off the top of my head.

Already tried that, since in computers with Windows 8 and below this issue doesn't crop up. It doesn't solve the issue. Thanks for taking the time to answer anyway.

Only alternative then is to build a machine to run Windows 7!

Or, if you got the hard drive space for it, get/borrow someone's legit copy of Windows 7 and try a dual boot.

The version of Windows it was running on apparently didn't have anything to do with the issue in the end, I did an edit on the first post explaining how I fixed it.
