A few folks including Padre Snowmizzle (The co-developer of the game) have played it on Windows 11 and it has worked! Though I know some Windows 11 players weren't able to get the game to run on their PCs, but it could be something unrelated to Windows 11. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the situation to give a concrete answer. D:
After a quick Google search, I found it to be a strange issue where the problem can stem from various factors. The best solution I could find if you're getting this error, is to use 7zip instead of Winrar to extract the .rar folder. Apparently that should rid the issue? Hope this helps tho!
Oh it's no problem! I'm assuming when you downloaded the game, you tried to extract the game using Winrar and that's what got you that error message? Unless you were just simply trying to play the game after downloading it by opening up the folder like any other folder to just play the game. Then I'm afraid it doesn't work like that for games like this that were zipped up into a .rar folder! D:
You need to use a program such as Winrar or 7Zip to be able to extract the .rar folder where the game is contained, to be able to open up the folder and be able to play the game. Hope this isn't too confusing!
wow, thanks for the message! and well, if I get an error from months ago, when I entered the game, the continue part was not there, and when I want to start a new game, it wouldn't let me, and when I wanted to I wanted to lower the graphics, yes I managed it, but When I wanted to remove it, it was still there, and I thought that this error only happened to me because my sister downloaded high-G things and couldn't find how to solve the error, but thanks to you, I now know how to solve it. Thanks Dave!
No problem! If you do get that bug where starting a new game doesn't work and continue isn't functioning correctly, I would recommend deleting your save file and starting a fresh one, since it may have gotten corrupted. You'd have to go to your windows search bar and type %appdata% to open up your appdata folder. Then backtrack from the Roaming folder to Appdata, go to the Local folder and look for AtC_BB, then enter the Saved, Save Games folder and you should find your AroundtheClock.sav file. Delete that, open up the game and a fresh save file should be created.
It may be crashing due to a weird issue with certain newer graphics cards (or processors?). The quickest fix for this is to disable your internet before you launch the game and it should run smoothly from there.
I just installed it on my hp victus laptop and I cannot wait to play it's gonna be the first game I play for my gaming channel "KikiBlaze" on YouTube. I'm super excited to check it out, "Planet of the Jellyfish" is one of my favorite episodes from the newer seasons so I feel like I'm in for a treat! : )
i cant play the game for some reason when i try to download it and start the game it just freezes and crashes or if i try to download on gamejolt it wont work can anyone pls tell me how do i play it
Hey! So, I was looking through the files and was confused when I saw the OVRPlugin in there. Is there a reason why, or was that just left over from, like, testing. The main reason I'm curious is because if it is for VR support that would be so cool. (Sorry for re upload I accidentally just typed "C" the first time lol}
That was leftover from way back in it's development but was never used. Never got a chance to truly test VR for it unfortunately. Most of my games actually do have that plugin, but was never truly used. A shame cause I would honestly love to explore the possibility of making VR games or older games be VR compatible. That's something I'll have to explore more in the future!
Im trying to ace all of the levels, but im Mermalair i have a problem where my game freezes and unfreezes during the Starfishman boss, is there a way to fix this?
I have downloaded and extracted the game, but when i go to press new game, it doesnt work but it lets me press continue but when i do so it takes me to the map but i cant actually do anythin
Somehow your save file must've gotten corrupted. I've seen this happen to a few people who only just fresh installed the game and I've no idea how it happens. But if you go to your Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file, next time you boot up the game it should create a fresh save file and solve the issue. If you don't know how to get to your appdata folder, type %appdata% in your search bar and it should pop up.
The game folder should be called Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom (V1.1.0) (64 Bit) assuming that's the version of the game you have. The game folder should be stored wherever you downloaded and left it in, whether that be your downloads folder or some other folder you had chosen. Hope this helps!
I've seen a few people run into this. It has to do with newer graphics cards having some sort of issue with games that use older versions of UE4. There is a permanent solution out there, but I forgot what it is. The easiest but temporary solution is to disable your internet on your PC before launching the game, and apparently that fixes the issue. Tho you'll have to do that every time you launch the game. X_X
Amazing work dave! I replayed this game after years and even though it is sort of dead, it is just as fun as it was back in 2021! Keep up the great work man!
hey Dave, I have a thing with my pc where if it plays 64 bit games, the game will shut down after 1 minute, is there a 32 bit version of this anywhere?
yo Dave where is the appdata folder cuz i got that one bug where new game dosent work cuz my pc shutdown plz help when i go on appdata i dont find the game carpet
The file path should be Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames and you'll find your .sav in there. If you don't know how to get to your appdata, type %appdata% in your search bar.
i know how to get on appdata but when i go i dont see the local atc bb saved saves games folder also i copied the entire folder name and i dont get nothing
You might be in the wrong place? When you open appdata, it'll take you to Appdata/Roaming. You need to backtrack to just the Appdata folder and there you'll find your Local folder.

Does this game work on windows 11?

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the situation to give a concrete answer. D:
Uh I don't see that folder I searched it in the bar.
Did you type specifically %appdata% into your search bar? That should have the folder appear in your search results.
this is it

why is it so hard to pla
it is not showing anymore levels
I did the first 5 levels and I'm not able to proceed
Good News: I downloaded the game.
Bad News: The game closed out in the middle of a cutscene. It also closed when I wasn't pressing New Game on the Menu Screen as well.
It may be crashing due to a weird issue with certain newer graphics cards (or processors?). The quickest fix for this is to disable your internet before you launch the game and it should run smoothly from there.
Thank you
can someone pls explain how to download and play the game am so confused what to do
Same
I just installed it on my hp victus laptop and I cannot wait to play it's gonna be the first game I play for my gaming channel "KikiBlaze" on YouTube. I'm super excited to check it out, "Planet of the Jellyfish" is one of my favorite episodes from the newer seasons so I feel like I'm in for a treat! : )
doesn't launch on windows 11
me gusto MUCHISIMO es god
Too bad this game only can be playable on Windows 10.
P.S: I tried playing it on Windows 11, but it always says Fatal Error and crash.
I'm gonna have to wait until 2025 to play it on Windows 11...
(The reason why i have to wait until 2025 is because that year is the year that Windows 10 will lose support.)
i got it on windows 11 and it works
how ?
I extracted the file and it works
i forgot i have windows 10 sorry
wow i didnt know that it lost support in 2025, good thing i have windows 11 lol
This game is very good but i got a weird question why is all of daves games rar files?
add vr support Dave it’s such a good game how is this free
there is a Unreal Engine VR profil if you want. i dont know if this work well but its seem to work good
I LOVE THIS GAME
ITS THE LITERAL BEST
i definetly didn't watch 600 play-throughs of iti cant play the game for some reason when i try to download it and start the game it just freezes and crashes or if i try to download on gamejolt it wont work can anyone pls tell me how do i play it
i try downloading it's not working
The game is good but can you add it on mobile.
Also I play on windows 11 laptop olny so can you fix a bug that i was playing a game but it freezes and shut downs by itself
YOU CAN ADD IT ON MOBILE??
yep im getting it-
is a good game i watch people play it but i cant download it
INCREDIBLE GAME! But im having issues with crashing and if this game gets a sequel or update im the first to play it!
I've gotten to 2am, and here's what/why I believe the difficulties should be:
Glove World (9pm): Medium (the tunnel of glove is hell)
Squidward's Monument (10pm): Intense (Big Lenny, as far as I know, has no memorizable pattern and is quite frustrating)
SpongeBob's pineapple (10pm): Medium (the only random part is DoodlePatrick)
Patrick's Rock (10pm): Medium (The parkour is janky, but doable)
3421 Anchor Way (10pm): Easy (literally a snooze)
Barg'N-Mart (11pm): Easy (reminds me of pac-man, but maybe make it harder with the hitcount going from 3 to 2)
Tentacle Acres (11pm): Medium (not hard once you learn how to click)
Mrs. Puff's Boating School (12am): Medium (Mrs. Puff is somehow blind to you hiding in a corner when she sweeps or whatever it is.)
Goofy Goober's (1am): Intense (the peanut always shows up RIGHT when I begin pouring and the big green dude is kinda annoying)
Mermalair (2am): No clue, haven't beaten
Sorry for long post, I just like sharing my opinions.
For when you reach 8am (Sandy's Treedome) after 4 suff fr the flamethorower sandy will come out outside. this was kinda random but i figured u need it
pls continue this

Hi,
Can you tell me the correct filename for this game? I’m trying to delete it from the command prompt to free up space, as the C drive is now full!
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Matt
