Hi Lai-Lai. I’m glad you liked the original. Thanks for your kind comments.

The new game, which they are rudely not calling Fairway Solitaire 2, just doesn;t measure up to yours. My mother agrees. For that matter, none of the solitaire games at Bigfish are anywhere near as addictive.

Hi Genie, sorry to hear that. Have you looked at the Options screen in the game? It has a volume slider (for sound effects) and an announcer slider. See if they are correct.

If that doesn’t work and you are on an XP PC you need to go to this folder on your system: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Grey Alien Games\Fairway Solitaire

Note that Application Data is a hidden folder so you may need to tell your system to show hidden folders. Try these instructions for that: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=192

Then open up FairwaySolitaire.ini with Notepad by double clicking it. (If you don’t see .ini on the end of the filename, just double click it anyway).

Then look for a line that says SPEECH=1 and make sure that it says 1 and not 0. If need be, change it and then save the file.

Then try loading the game again and see what happens. Good luck.

If you have Vista you will need to go to C:\ProgramData\Grey Alien Games\Fairway Solitaire\ instead to find the file.

There is no easy solution for Mac because that file is hidden in a special location by Big Fish Games.

You can also try contacting Big Fish Games customer support to see if they can help.

I am currently having a problem with my copy of Fairway Solitaire. I don’t understand why the voices of the commentator no longer work. I enjoyed the comments as I played the solitaire game. But now can’t get any voices at all. How can I fix this problem. I bought the game last February.

Saw the recommendation at Dubious Quality (http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/) and bought the game. Very nicely done! By the way, all games at the Big Fish website are currently 40% off if you purchase by 12/31/07.

Sure. That decision is up to BFG however as they own the game.

“Actually yes there is, I heard yesterday that BFG use Activision and may well release this via them as retail. We’ll see…I’ll probably blog about it when it happens.”

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to it happening…

I also have one more suggestion. I think this would be a terrific handheld game! Maybe if it gets enough success it could be ported to the psp or ds platforms. But of course I’m getting ahead of myself here.
