NickSkratch Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 I recently got Grim Fandango and I must say its quite the amazing game! Unfortunately, I'm stuck. I'm in the casino elevator and I don't know how to get the forklift to stop the door. I think its because the computer is too fast. I downloaded the patch and that didn't seem to help. Maybe I'm just thickheaded. Anyway, your help is greatly appreciated.
ZaXeriaw Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Have you coppied all the *lap files from you disc to you Hard Drive, as the ReadMe-fil from the patch said? anyway welcome to the forums...
NickSkratch Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 Well, I tried the .lab file thing. I found that there weren't any year 2 files. only 0, 1 and 3. So I used the 0 files and nothing happened. Maybe its fine and I'm just horrible at the puzzle. I can't seem to get the forklift close enough to the door. When I get off of it to raise the fork the thing backs up. I hope I'm missing something really simple.
scabb Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 You could try CPU Killer to slow down your processor, but even then the lift thing can be irritating. Obviously, the lift has to be going up at the time, and definitely try jamming the fork-lift under the slot closest to the switch, so Manny doesn't have to run so far when he hops on the fork lift truck. Make a save game just before you hit the switch to save time when retrying.
anomalousresult Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 just a word of warning about cpu killer, i had to use it and it does the job, may i suggest slowing your computer down bit by bit, rather than wacking it down to %50, because the read out that the program gives you is a lie and not a true value.
Sanspoof Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Dude, welcome to the forums! Try to keep driving forwards in the forklift when it's in the little gap.
NickSkratch Posted May 10, 2003 Author Posted May 10, 2003 You guys are helpful bunch! I still haven't been able to get it right, but the response is enough to bring a tear to a glass eye. Off I go to copy year 2 to the hard drive
NickSkratch Posted May 13, 2003 Author Posted May 13, 2003 Well, I'm still stuck. I must be an idiot or something. My problem seems to be that when I think I've got the fork in the slot I get off the forklift and it backs away from the slot. I'm getting desperate. I'm even considering looking for some grim fandango saved games that I could download
NickSkratch Posted May 14, 2003 Author Posted May 14, 2003 So I did that last post and went to try it one more time and low and behold, I did it! It turns out I was a dummy. Thanks for all your help.
