So I decided to play through the Sam & Max Telltale games again, and I've been having a problem with running Season 2. The original exe requires the exe and makes the disc drive go crazy. Turns out it was using SecuROM.

So I tried an exe that doesn't require the disc, and all that shows up is a black screen and just hangs there.

Resource Monitor comes up empty and none of the compatibility modes I've tried have worked, and that's all the info I have.

What do I do?

That happened to me with Steam versions and W10.

It doesn't hangs, it's awfully slow. It seemed to be related with how the game accesses the data (because the game stuttered every time it needed a new sound/animation/location). I addedthe executable to my antivirus exclusions (bitdefender free) and it worked as intended.

Well, I've been sitting here for 5 minutes, and it hasn't done anything yet. I tried temporarily turning Comodo off, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

I tried running the game on Ubuntu 18.04 under WINE, and I'm getting the same issue there.

Okay, it turns out the cracked exes I downloaded are incompatible with the version of the game I have. It seems there were 2 versions of the game released physically. One titled "Sam & Max Season 2" and the one I have, "Sam & Max: Save The World". Which means my copy of the game is completely unplayable. I should track down the other version.
