By clicking on certain cards in certain ways, it's possible to duplicate other cards or make them disappear:


No I don't have more informations about this, hence why I wrote "certain cards" and "certain ways", I managed to do this by random but I could replicate it by mashing the mouse buttons on various cards for a while. I wonder if anyone knows more about this?

edit:

Here's another example:


It's barely visible behind the 2 of spades, but see how an orange card has been pulled instead of the 2 of clubs. Also, the score should be $208, not $238, since -$52 + (52 × $5) = $208, there are $30 in excess, equivalent to 6 nonexisting cards o.O

You're not the only one. Nobody seems to know WHY this happens, though.

[nineko]

Well, shit:



I have no way to put that ace of spades up there :|

This happened to me ages ago when I was trying my absolute fastest to go through a deck. It seems to happen when you mash both mouse buttons on a card at the same time if it's able to be moved somewhere automatically via right-click.

Yes, I think it's consistent with what happened to me. I guess that they broke it when they added the right click routine.

Interesting, never seen that happen. Does that carry over to the Windows 7 variant as well?
FreeCell is better anyways

All the games were completely rewritten in Vista, so no.

Well on the reddit link someone got it to happen on Windows 8.

Can anyone upload the sol.exe (or whatever they renamed it) Solitaire.exe from a modern version of Windows? I'd like to stress test it a bit if it runs fine in Windows XP.

edit: it has to be 32-bit, or I can't run it (thanks anyway, MainMemory).

From 32-bit Windows 7.

Interesting, I can't run that one, either. XP says it's not a valid 32-bit application, but at least I can see its icon (I couldn't even see the icon of the one MainMemory sent me). Meh, I give up.

Still, thanks.

Given the fact that the Vista and 7 (and likely 8 but I haven't used 8) versions of Solitaire are more smoothly animated than the old pre-Vista Solitaire, I would imagine they use DX10 minimum since those on Vista and 7 have that version or higher. This is pure speculation on my part, but may be worth investigating by someone who is good at debugging Windows apps.

I'm getting good at replicating this at will:

And that is just one more reason why Freecell is better.

It also has this smug motherfucker:
