Magic Mirror Makes Door but Cannot Enter Tower

LadystormX · Post by **LadystormX** » Tue May 31, 2005 4:39 pm

In mutiplayer game, we've found the magic mirror and have made the door appear at the tower in Arindale, but it won't let us enter it. I know people in single player games can get in no problem, but we don't seem to be able to get in and return the horn.

The game will really fall apart if we can't get in. Is there something else we can do to get in the Tower, or is this one of many other bugs?

all players in your party must have the mirror and also all players
must use it to enter

Response to Magic Mirror in Tower, Advice

NO, all parties tried to hit shift at the same time, all parties have the magic mirror. The crazy thing is broken and that is the end of our quest!!!!! We're gonna have to stop until they fix the thing.

Grrrrrr

Other people have gotten farther than that in multiplayer, I believe.. maybe start again or reload?

We are doing a 3 player multiplayer game. Since my post, I've checked other forums and found a post where a 2 player game is stuck at the same place. If we can get it, we can't' get the ring and, therefore, cannot proceed from there. We patched to 1.1 hoping that would take care of it, but it did not. Perhaps the next patch.

I'm also going back and forth with technical support. They aren't real helpful yet.

Grrr.

we are 5 ppl in a lan party here and the magic mirror worked fine the 3 times that we entered the tower. it´s only messy when all try to step into the lift and worse when anybody wanna come back down without wait the others, lol. but also we make the lift to work more than one time and always managed to exit fine.
anyway, try this first and (to check the prob) and then I will tell you how to bypass that bug, if there is a bug..

- Make a backup of your multiplayer savegames and then try to start a lan game with only 1 player. if your party is a 3 ppl party, then try to load the game and start the game with the player 1, now check if the mirror works and can enter. if works then try quit without saving and try another player, and that with all players to check if anyone is bugged.
if you find any bugged player that can´t enter the tower, using the mirror and when the door appear using the door, then you have lots of way to continue (there is always a solution, don´t worry). for example, trying to check what quest is missing in that char, incompleted or whatever (maybe he still didn´t finished to talk with the elven king in hall of lords or something, check all dialogs with the king again)..
And if still doesn´t work, I still got another way to bypass that and lots of other bugs so just tell me

edit: oh, and I almost forgot, you say that all members tried to hit shift at the same time to enter, well is not that hard. a player hit shift and if that player has the magic mirror then you will hear a noise and see the words "using magic mirror" so the door will appear, then another player do the same thing, doesn´t matter when, and he will see and hear the same things, and after all players did the same, now some player or all 1 by 1 hit shift again to use the summoned door, then the room will be loaded

We loaded the game and tried it one-by-one without other players joining the saved game. NO one can open the door, even if they are the only one in the game. Also, only one of us has the horn because only one of us could get it. There weren't multiple copies available. The horn disappeared when one of the players got it and it wasn't available for anyone else.

Technical support emailed me today and asked me for our saved game. I just emailed it to them so cross your fingers!!! I'll keep everyone posted.

welll, that´s kinda weird then, if nobody can enter and you got the mirror..
I will keep trying to find a solution to your probe anyway, if you want

what your quest logs says?, tried to back to the hall of lords and re talk all dialogs with the king?
and yes, some items as relics and some keys are uniques so in our multiplayer games we decided to select just one player to follow the game quests and pick those special items, just in case. the player that has the game quests must talk first with the npcs and then the others players. is just a tip to avoid some bugs or missunderstending with npcs

I have been playing multi player with a friend and with all the awesome bugs we decide to save our game about every 5 minutes (we choose to save over 2 or three save spots as well to make sure that if something happens we have a backup to go to). We ran into the same thing with the door not allowing access and the reason it happened was he used the mirror before I was in range to enter the door. It wouldn't allow us access no matter what we did so we reloaded a previous game and made sure both of us were right next to the door before using the mirror. This allowed us to access, hopefully it helps for you guy's as well
