JP1587246426 Posted July 6, 2001 Share Posted July 6, 2001 When I try to get guybrush to sit down on the stool in the lua bar he just continully keeps walking in to the bar and the only way to get him to stop is to quit the game and reload it but he just does the same thing again.

raVen_image Posted July 6, 2001 Share Posted July 6, 2001 I've been reading that if a corruption occurs in the EFMI game, saving the game will only save the corruption too. This has been a considerable problem for MAC users, because the MAC OS has NEVER been able to menage memory. But if something occured to that last save, using that last save will only re-create the symptoms. Try (I know this stinks) try an earlier saved game and play through. See if that sorts it out Aside from that I found nothing specifically addressing your problem, so write to: www.lucasarts.com/support/ and report the problem, they may be able to help. Good Luck...

JP1587246426 Posted July 7, 2001 Author Share Posted July 7, 2001 I don't have any saved games besides this one and the game was saved before I even tried to sit on the stool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken_Sailor Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game? ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP1587246426 Posted July 7, 2001 Author Share Posted July 7, 2001 I'm trying to find a way around this so I don't have to start right from the beginning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitySquared Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 JP, From My Computer or Explorer find the directory where Escape From Monkey Island is installed on your computer. The default is C:\ProgramFiles\Lucasarts Then click on the save folder and copy every single one of those files out of the directory and into another temporary directory. Reinstall the game and then copy those files back into the save directory. I'm not sure if its called "save" or "savedgames" because I'm not on my personal computer, but you can figure it out. Then you'll be able to start from where you left of, minus the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP1587246426 Posted July 7, 2001 Author Share Posted July 7, 2001 Thanks, I'll go try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 JP, Regardless of the solution, always make periodic saves in NEW save slots (EFMI gave you an insane amount, so you won't run out) It is NEVER wise to keep re-saving over the same slot. The above suggestion from InfinitySquared will work ... unless your saved_game file is corrupted. Good fortune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
