How to Fix "Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch" Game on Steam?

For a game that was actually SOLD to people, this is just unacceptable! I had to actually go to some third party site, download a copy of the game, and use it to replace the faulty version just to make it work?

That being said, if you need help fixing the game - and yes, it is fixable, then just follow these instructions. Note that the solution works for both Windows 8.1 and 10.

1. Download a working copy of the executable file (the .exe) for the game

There are several links that you can use here: (I used the first one)

(P/S: I don't own any of the links listed here, and although I'm pretty sure there aren't any viruses or malware, use at your own risk! Just don't click on the pop-ups or ads and you'll be fine I think.)

2. Go to your Steam folder (should be in your C drive by default)

3. Find "steamapps", then "common", and then double-click into the "Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch" folder

4. Copy and paste the downloaded .exe file into the folder above, replacing the existing .exe file

5. If you can't replace the file because the game is still "running", then press Ctrl+Shift+Esc simultaneously to bring up the Task Manager.

6. Click into the "Details" tab 

7. There should be TWO processes that the game is running - one is called "Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch" while the other is probably called "game.dmg" (if my memory serves me right)

8. Once you've found them, RIGHT click on each of them and choose "End Process". Once done, wait for a bit before trying to replace the .exe file again.

9. After replacing the .exe file, all you need to do now is to go to your Steam client/interface and click the Play button to play.
** Make sure to NOT verify data file integrity because if you do so, Steam will just replace your third-party .exe file with the faulty one again.

10. After launching the game, there'll be a white screen and your mouse cursor will turn into the loading icon - well, don't panic just yet. Give your PC some time to load the game - the fix should work and the game will automatically start with a cinematic.... after all, it did for me :)


 Hope this helps!

Pokemon Go: How to Get Gorebyss and Huntail?

Well, first of all, you'll definitely want to get a Clamperl and have 50 Clamperl candy - that's the no-brainer part. However, I'm pretty sure I've figured out how you can "force" Clamperl's evolution to go the way you want.

Note that although I'm pretty confident of my findings, I've only have so many chances to test it, so here goes!


As you may know, Clamperl evolution is supposedly "random" but I suspect it's not as random as it appears. Unlike eevolutions that have a name trick to help you get the evolved eevee you want, there isn't a name trick for Clamperl either.

So here's the big reveal - I'm pretty sure that your Clamperl will evolve into Huntail or Gorebyss depending on the GENDER of your PLAYER and NOT the gender of the Clamperl.

Pokemon Go trainers using the female avatar will mostly get Gorebyss - as evident in my case since I'm playing a female character, while male avatars will mostly get Huntail - as evident in my boyfriend's case.

Note that there's still a chance for the respective gender to get the other gender's evolution but the chance of that happening is very, very low.... hence, the word "mostly". This also probably explain why scores of players keep getting the same evolution over and over again - you can't change your avatar's gender!

So, in order to get the other gender's evolution, you will need to either...
1. Have a ton of Clamperl and the corresponding candy to evolve them all (low chance)
2. OR just trade for one from a player playing the opposing gender or from anyone with the evolution you want (very high chance)

Hope this helps!

Pokemon Go: How to get Smeargle? A Step-by-Step Picture Guide

I'm a bit late to the party but I got my first Smeargle on my first try ^^

That said, here are the steps you'll want to take to get Smeargle. P/S: Click on the images to expand them

1. Find a pokemon you want Smeargle to copy skills from.

It can be any pokemon you want, but if you want it to have the best skill - not that Smeargle has any meta use though , you'll want to use Blissey.

2. View the Pokemon (get into the stats page) and enter AR mode by tapping on the small camera icon on the top right corner.

3. Take a photo of your pokemon and keep an eye out for the number of flashes at the bottom right corner of the screen.

If it flashes 3 times, then Smeargle has photobombed your picture and you can catch it once you exit from your Pokemon Inventory (into the map screen). If you're not sure, tap into the photo preview located at the bottom right corner of the screen and take a look.

4. Smeargle will spawn nearby on your map. Simply tap into it and catch it.
P/S: Since it's a spawn, I think it's still possible for Smeargle to flee. Just in case though, it's best to use a razz berry if you can't spare an ultra ball.

Voila! Caught it!
