Has anyone had a problem leaving Fargrove for the first time through the west gate? I have Davemore's letter of passage, done all the tasks in town, etc.... This is my second time playing through and I didn't have any glitches the first time I played it. I have version 1.3.
What happens is this:
- during the loading sequence (where you have to wait for about 30 seconds while the game is frozen and the hard disk is going nuts...) I start to hear the outer gate open (before the screen refreshes).
- then the game starts again, I'm outside the wooden gate and watching the outer gate go up -- all good so far
- then the outer gate stops half way up, and the game freezes again and begins another loading sequence!
- next time the game starts again I am in the room just before entering the Fargrove sewers (after the lever is pulled so I can't go out the gate to the northern area, just down into the sewers
- All my progress so far is still completed! Sewers, theatre basement, theatre, etc. are all cleaned out, my character stats are correct, etc.
- when I go back to the west gate to leave I can't get through the outer gate because my head is just high enough that I hit the gate
- I can't even roll underneath it using a double-tap "w" (forward) move
Any ideas?
Thanks
Update: Solved!! Thanks to The Master, although it's not quite that straightforward.
Fortunately, despite what I said earlier, I actually DID have a save game from before I tried to leave the west gate (whew!)
Here's what I had to do:
a) Leave Fargrove by south gate
b) I still got bumped back to the beginning of the sewer sections as when I tried to leave by west gate
c) navigate back through sewers, theatre basement, theatre and Fargrove to leave by south gate again
d) go back into Fargrove, then leave through west gate
It works because unlike the west gate, the south gates don't have the outer portcullis to get stuck on the way up when you get bumped!!
Many thanks for the help. I really didn't want to start over.
