Level 2 bug for slow pc's

Post by Keekee »

I am at the iron door that needs two keys. I have the key from the flying things side. I cannot get through the teleporter corridor. I have tried pressing the secret button and moving backwards but no joy. Is there a run button that I do not know about?

There is no run button. You should be able to make it by pressing the button, then tap the key to move backwards until you are safely past the teleporter.

Lowering your resolution and grahics settings temporarily might work. Or maybe AH will need to increase the grace period just a bit for that puzzle. :)

Yes I was playing on my laptop and it was impossible without turning down the resolution and settings as far as I could. I had tried about 30 times. After I lowered the resolution I got through 2nd try.

Thank you so much for this! It was driving me crazy - had tried dozens of times, but after turning down the res, made it through second go

Yeah, they need to fix this. I have a gaming laptop. It's not slow at all but I had to turn down the resolution on everything to make it through this puzzle. I wasted a lot of time and was close to giving up on the game altogether because of this.

If you had to do this it's not a gaming laptop.

One other thing to be aware of with timing-dependent puzzles: move by tapping the key multiple times rather than holding it down. Holding it down is likely to result in the second+ step being sluggish.
