I’m trying to persist but the problem with the unresponsive cursor has reared it’s ugly head again!

Try this - ALT-TAB the game to your desktop, then go back to the game. It solver whenever I have choppy issues, like Sadwick’s animation and response.

Thanks for the tip diego - it really hasn’t done the trick but I’ve managed to battle on to finish the chapter anyway!  And what a wacky chapter it was that had me chuckling a lot of the time with the craziness of some of the puzzles bringing Discworld to mind & even more so at the end!

You’re all cheats! Pixel-hunting is part of the TWW challenge! Using spacebar is like using a walkthrough!

I’m a double cheat, I used the spacebar & still managed to miss the other half of the cog-wheel & had to peak at a walkthrough here & there as I got so stuck. But, after I’d caught the mouse & looked at it in inventory there was a hint that it liked dirty laundry so it was obvious that you needed to use it to get grandpa’s pantaloons

I’ve met Bando & just love, love, love him

I actually thoroughly disliked both Bando and Reuben. Irritated the hell out of me. And Reuben’s hypocrisy always shouting down to Bando to tell him to shut up as he was too loud.

No, I didn’t like Reuben but I couldn’t help loving Bando’s passion for the subjects mentioned!

I thought it was a lovely chapter, very humorous & sweet in places.

There is no need to peek at walkthroughs you know. You could have perfectly well asked us. Wilco did exactly that for the exact same thing just 2 days ago….

  again.
I am starting to feel bad about the fact that I persuaded you to buy a version of a game that you are are not enjoying to its full potential but battling your way through technical problems instead… I hope the next chapter will have less tech issues…

Please don’t feel bad Sefir as I’d already bought the game a few months ago very cheap in a GoG sale! The technical problems just amount to a lack of response to mouse clicks which double or triple clicking overcomes otherwise the game is fine - I’m wondering whether Microsoft updates a few days ago are to blame?

Yes, I think it’s nicer to ask for a nudge here rather than peek at a walkthrough but when you want to know what you’re supposed to do now! this minute!....

I hope the next chapter moves the plot forward more than Chapter 2. Nothing really happened except for the rather predictable revelation at the end. Obstacles, another obstacle and more obstacles.

I’m also a little bit scared by the story, actually. The world is going to end and I’m going to be responsible? How horrible! I do hope it’s a happy ending. The only thing worse would be a cliffhanger.

Sadwick is scared too!!
But you don’t have to be. The story is one of the greatest (if not the best) aspects of this game. As for the ending, the special edition has an extra one to choose according to your liking. But all in good time. There is still chapter 3 to see….

I finished the chapter.

Waking Khalida was not really a twist. When Sadwick was talking to Yoda I wanted scream to him -  Khalida is the island!
Chess puzzle annoyed me but it was an ok chapter. I agree that it doesn’t move the story very forward.

This is has very Neverending Story feel. I suppose it was a big influence.

I dont get how people had problems with the chess puzzle. When you were moving a piece the square changed colour to tell you it was the right place to put it, it was more or less a case of waving each piece around the board to find the blue squares.

That depends on the queen positions. Most times, all positions are covered from some other queen, meaning that you have to rearrange the entire board to find a single spare position. Many, many times of rearanging…. Solving it fast can be a sign that you are either very lucky or a chess master IMO.

My copy certainly didn’t do that. Or if it did, I didn’t notice.

I think the blue square showed when there was a queen intersecting in that moment, it didn’t reveal the final right place for the piece.
I wasn’t very fond of it because it is puzzle that keeps showing up and I don’t find it very interesting. Well, at least it wasn’t a farmer crossing the river on boat puzzle
