Isn't it one of the menu options on the left? I don't have the game on this computer so I can't directly check but maybe if you post a screenshot of the main menu?

It drove me nuts, too.
<F6> to change party members
<F7> to see most of the quests because some quests don't appear (like the 2 ingredients for making the cat claw weapon)

If you're just starting, you might want to read the 3 Stars forum, too. Don't trust the guide without question. For example, there are 2 characters who can wear the Nirum Armor to complete the quest even though the guide implies only Lisa can wear it to complete the quest.

@rpsmith
You are very welcome. Glad I could help.

But I got lucky seeing your post. If you need any help in the future, you can create a new post in the 3 Stars of Destiny game or just add to the post I created for people who are replaying this game again after many years ago. It's more likely that I (or someone else) will see it there.

I just bought Laxius force 1-3 on sale and when I try to open a game it shows me a black screen for 1-2 seconds and then the game closes. No error messages. When I try to open it using compatibility mode for windows xp, it doesn't even start. Am I missing a special RTP? Is this just a windows 10 bug? Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any such advice around Windows 10 please? I wanted to replay LF before I get Laxius Soul and simply cannot get the game to open. tried compatibility change to XP/Vista/Windows 8/7. updated all my drivers. added the app to firewall allowed list. nothing works!! my technology-limited brain has reached its limits.

Thanks so much Indy for all your help. Just in case it helps anyone else, please follow instructions to allow (or ignore) the game executable file in the DEP list as per the instructions on https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/how ... 0.3272801/
Thanks so much

This looks like the game wasn't fully/properly downloaded on your computer. Was it the demo or full game? Do you use any antivirus and/or firewall? They are notorious for flagging files incorrectly.
