Donc obligée de recharger une partie. Anomalie bloquante - je vais devoir recommencer depuis le début et comme on ne peux pas accélérer les dialogues c’est très casse pied. Je possède le jeu pour PC et je n’ai jamais eu de problème de BUG comparable à celui-ci. La portabilité est à revoir. Je pense désinstaller le jeu et le réinstaller sur mon IPad. Je n’ai pas eu de problème avec les 2 et 3 sur iPad 13 Max pro. Dernière mise à jour de mon IPad - je désinstalle et réinstalle le jeu le bug est toujours là. Le jeu plante quand j’essaye d’ouvrir l’inventaire icône boîte ouverte ! Je vais me rabattre sur mon CD ROM du jeu et jouer sur PC - heureusement que j’avais acheté le jeu PC à sa sortie ! ### 5/5 — Beste Adventure Serie meiner Meinung nach *2026-05-14* Wer auf Point & Click Adventure steht, kommt an dieser Serie nicht vorbei. Hier stimmt alles . Leider wurde die deutsche Sprache aus lizenzierten Gründen nicht übernommen aber wer das Spiel tragbar braucht dann passt das trotzdem. ### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab *2026-05-14* Nicht spielbar, da ständiger Absturz, z.B. wenn man ins Inventar geht ### 1/5 — Does not work on a Mac *2026-02-18* Unable to play this on a Mac as it crashes whenever you try to click on the inventory box. Apple will refuse a refund so this is not worth buying at all if you have a Mac. ### 1/5 — Injouable *2026-02-03* Le bouton de l’inventaire me fait sortir du jeu. 5,99€ de jeté à la poubelle. Bref une honte ### 3/5 — Can not get into the inventory box *2026-01-27* This game is fun on my mobile phone but I wish I can play this on my iPad Air . I cannot get into the inventory box unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Вылетает в конце второй главы *2025-10-30* Почините, перезагрузка не помогает ### 1/5 — Une honte *2025-07-31* La VF du jeu sur PC est excellente, ici on a le droit à une version anglaise ( d’un ennuie exceptionnel) avec des sous-titres, ça ne me donne pas envie d’aller plus loin dans l’aventure, sur quand je lis les autres commentaires… ### 1/5 — Crash on modern iPad *2025-07-25* I really want to play this game, used to love it on pc, but it crashes after opening closing the inventory twice. I have an up to date m4 iPad. ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing on my iPad Pro *2025-07-23* Works only on my phone ## Frequently asked questions about Runaway ### What is Runaway: A Road Adventure about?
