ToMI - Chapter 2 bug collection

[Fury]

Hey all, post everything you find here that has a glitch.

1) Although not a glitch, having to run the launcher as admin cos it gives you weird error messages
2) Sound recording stuff up. Use the clamshell opening stick thing from Ep1 on the Blind Statue you got the fisheye from.

[Novotnus]

3. Using crowbar with golden turtle makes Guybrush act like he tries to take it from the altar.

[Lord-z]

After having talked to McGillicutty while he is drowning the Merleader, or perhaps before or later, I never checked, you can go back to the Turtlemold and pick up the Pyrite-turtle again.

[Tim]

After having Trenchfoot & Hardtack bury the artifact along with its chest, Trenchfoot is still described as 'being the pirate carrying the artifact'. But he of course does not have it anymore, it's in the chest.

I'm not really sure what the Trenchfoot's description literally is, would have to replay for that.

[Tim]

If you fire the cannon yet AGAIN, after having defeated McGillicutty, his ship will be non-existent, yet most of the objects in the scene including McGilli himself, will attack back, leading to the colliding cannonball animation.

Edit: Funny fact, he's actually holding the Fake Pyrite Turtle Artifact in his hand while launching the cannon.

[drunkenmonkey]

The most obvious bug I found is after you have your mast repaired with the special item and you go back to the island where it is found and the item in question is still there.

[Ash735]

Relating to that glitch, I found if you keep returning to the place where the mast gets broken, after a while you'll see a floating cannon ball already on your ship before it's even fired. :p

[Jazzy]

I noticed that if you go back to Spooner Island after getting through the blockade and click on the stationary cannon then Guybrush will say the "I'm not talking to him while he's firing a cannon" line even though LeChuck is nowhere in sight.

[BobTGoldfish]

Elaine's legs not moving when she is walking away from Guybrush in the royal chamber. but I'm only a few minutes in.

[tmfm2000]

I think these should go under some sort of spoiler protection. also: after talking to elaine, she just floats back to the pirate and the merman/woman without moving her legs. actually kinda funny, but still an obvious bug :)

[tmfm2000]

ack! a few seconds :p

[ChemBro]

Try to shoot the pirate captain, after you sunk his ship. That's one nasty bug. :eek: Or it looks like it.

[Ignatius]

*After the siege is over, and before rescuing the Merleader you can go back the jungle and pick up another pyrite turtle.

[DjNDB]

I noticed that one too and made some Videos :)

Shooting McGilliCutty after he's gone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LePLOZoYdG4&hd=1).

When trying to Combine Hook + Turtle in the Inventory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vyMNUXS2E) Guybrush acts the same way he was, when he was trying to get the turtle that way.

[bar10dr]

1. After the blockade when you try to use the cannon on the island he says that he doesn't want to use it while lechuck is using it.
2. After the blockade the melted turtle is back in the form, you can pry it out again and it comes in your inventory.
3. When battling on the high seas to get the merrrrmaid queen if you try boarding the ship after your mast has been broken, the other guys ship looks strange after trying to board him again. Sometimes just the window shows or just the door.
4. When battling on the high seas to get the merrrrmaid queen sometimes a cannon ball gets stuck in the middle of your ship in the air.

Oh and the sky has some join faults some places, where there are gaps that don't cover up the skybox texture.

[selits]

After rescuing the mer-queen before sailing back to the town... you are sitting out in the water where you just sank the ship. I fired the cannon again expecting to just shoot at nothing like other times but instead it goes to a glitched version of the other ship with the pirate on it and he shoots back to block yur shot...

[McAleeCh]

Not so much a bug, but a typo - when telling the McGillicutty's men their treasure might be found to get them to dig it up again, one of the dialogue possibilities for this line is misspelt "treasue" instead of "treasure".

Also, I had issues with characters being invisible in the blockade scene and in the shot of the Mer-Cheiftain after sinking McGillicutty's ship.

Aside from that, all I encountered were the audio pop-n'-crackliness that seems to happen with the music on in the royal chamber for some reason.

Hope this info is useful! = )

[Silverwolfpet]

Well, I'm sure that the TTG Team is using our information in a helpful way...

I was too amazed by the coolness of the game, yet I have found a small, almost unnoticeable bug...
When LeChuck is ready to fight the three poxed pirates, Guybrush can walk through him. LeChuck is not solid anymore. :) Hope it helps.
Also, there were two spelling errors, I don't really remember where. "Whats" instead of "What's"...and another one somewhere.

[KevinSig]

I'm not exactly sure when it happens, but its around the point where you get back together with Elaine. Anyway, instead of walking over to me, she glided (legs didn't move, and she just moved over to me). This would have worked if the camera didn't show me her lower portion.

And I'm not sure if it was just my system, but I had some issues controlling my mouse while my ship was docked at Spinner Cay. Specifically, it was when Guybrush was over by my ship. As I got further away from my ship, controls started to improve. However, I had a hard time aiming for the map.

[adventureaddict]

There was another spelling mistake(I really cannot remember where it was though), of "burry" (bury).

Not that I mind really, Telltale. Just sayin' :rolleyes:

[Lexi00]

Only saw one bug. When talking to the Mer leader, the pirate and Elaine, Elaine won't have a walking animation when you ask for a private talk.

[Woodsyblue]

I noticed if you tried to combine your hook with the turtle idol while both are in your inventory Guybrush goes back to his dialogue of trying to remove it from the stone tablet. Also the camera goes funny for a moment.

[dzamir]

I noticed a typo: The "Fishing well"! I'm sure they mispelled "Wishing well"! :D

[Thriftweed Fancy Pants]

^It's the Ghost-Pirate McGillicutty!

[RaZ31338]

Tons of typos throughout the game.

QA / Testing FAIL.

[CageyJay]

Perhaps not a bug, but definitely an inconvenient thing: When Guybrush finishes the animation of coming down the stairs from the Royal Chamber, he ends up in such a way that trackball and trackpad users have to crank their sensitivity way down to keep him from climbing back up no matter which way they drag.

Probably not worth correcting, but something to note if a similar situation might be avoided in future chapters/games.

[Graxer]

Relating to that glitch, I found if you keep returning to the place where the mast gets broken, after a while you'll see a floating cannon ball already on your ship before it's even fired. :p
On my second visit after repairing the mast with the rubber tree I had this glitch too when I arrived, and I thought I would supply a picture:

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3945/cannonballg.jpg

It just floats there for no reason!

[hansschmucker]

Don't forget the door floating in midair during one ship scene (can't remember which one though, I think it was after the McGillicutty fight).

[Tyraa Rane]

I've noticed that if you use the fish eye (besides what you're supposed to use it on), when Guybrush holds it up to his eye, it also appears on the ground to his right.

Not sure if it works every time you try to use it on something, but I noticed it when trying to use the fish eye on the manatee in Da Cava's shack.

This is true. I also noticed this on one of the smaller islands.

EDIT: Except it was to his left (he was facing away from me).

[jondm1]

When using the map to navigate between islands (after left clicking your destination), if you right click to skip the dialogue with Winslow, and right click once more (I assumed i would speed up the loading of the destination scene) - the game loads up where you just come from, but will show the text of where you were going.

[bar10dr]

bump

[destiny]

another "bug":
after the mast has been repaired with the rubber tree, the tree is still on the island

[mike3141x]

After you've gotten the pyrite parrot back from Beluga, it isn't in your inventory.

[RaZ31338]

and not a word from TTG employees. fantastic, way to support your product/read posts on your own forum.

[hansschmucker]

*sigh* Welcome again RaZ. Actually, there have been numerous responses, sometimes amused, sometimes annoyed, by the Telltale staff. Just not in this thread.

Telltale is very gracious when it comes to refunds, so if this is a dealbreaker for you, just ask them. Other than that: good luck finding any other game company where the developers are as active in the community as the Telltale guys are.

[bobhobbit]

On the typo/grammar error front: One of the fish jokes uses the word "it's" instead of the correct "its".

Other bugs I noticed have already been mentioned several times here.

[bar10dr]

Is it true telltale never releases bugfixes to their episodes?

[rlw822]

I noticed that if you go back to Spooner Island after getting through the blockade and click on the stationary cannon then Guybrush will say the "I'm not talking to him while he's firing a cannon" line even though LeChuck is nowhere in sight.

this also happens to me now!

[Thriftweed Fancy Pants]

Is it true telltale never releases bugfixes to their episodes?

If I remember correctly, someone at TTG (I think Jake) said it usually isn't worth the time, effort, and moola to release patches.

[edmundito]

So, I found this nasty glitch... LeChuck is supposed to be in the cannon spot in spoon island, but he's not there!

I first noticed it after I got past the blockade, got the rubber tree knocked down and went to meet with McGillycutty. I went back to spoon island afterwards (because I was clueless) and where the cannon is there's a floating cannonball and guybrush thinks lechuck's there, even though he's not.

See attached screenshot.

[bar10dr]

If I remember correctly, someone at TTG (I think Jake) said it usually isn't worth the time, effort, and moola to release patches.

My guess is that their always struggling to meet their own future deadlines that they can't afford to put of resources to fix their errors, really sad actually as a lot of people are not going to buy the series before its completed so they can play it as a full game, they have to deal with the same bugs when its not necessary.

They should put together a small team to do fixes after an episode release.

[Dangerzone]

Well, they do check these threads... So they are aware of the issues. (trust me)

But what can they honestly say that's worth saying? "we're sorry?, we ****ed up?, We missed something?"

In any case, they very rarely release patches (or in their case, updated versions)... I think the last time they updated one of their download games was back in 2007 (They updated their first Sam and Max episode to work with vista)

So unless its something that inhibits gameplay, they probably wont patch it (the sound issues in MI Ch. 2 are a perfect example of what it takes for them to patch a game)

[Will]

I've actually got someone today cataloging and writing up the various forum-reported bugs. As several people have pointed out making patches isn't always easy, but it's always good to have things written up just in case. By the way, thanks for the information everyone!

[edmundito]

Ooh how exciting! I found more bugs:

After getting the rubber tree installed in Guybrush's ship, when you return to mcgillycutty it can cut to a medium close-up of guybrush and in the back you can see a floating cannonball! Probably a left over from the previous cut-scene.

Also the rubber tree is still in the island after you get it installed as the mast or defeat mcgillycutty.

And the LeChuck theme contines to play in Spoon Island in that one section of the jungle long after LeChuck confronted those sick pirates.

[hansschmucker]

I'm not sure this is even worth posting anymore as the various cannon ball bugs probably have the same root cause, but last time I played, immediately after the attack the cannonballs were ONLY targeting the library window... of course the impact was still shown on the wall and not the library.

[Rynelan]

Probably totally not worth to tell anymore, but I recently started playing TOMI.

The glitch I noticed wich I don't see back here, is when I move to Roe Island and walk towards the tent and close enough to the singing fish.. my screen goes black or flickers rappidly, in other words.. the camera is way to close to an object.

Maybe it's the resolution (1600x900) and got everything maxed quality. I never tried anything else.. I took some wild guesses what do to and that worked out. (I was still able to select the fish, it was on my whole screen unless I walked away, don't know if it supposed to be selectable on your whole screen)

Sorry if there is any bad spelling. I'm dutch and my english grammar isn't that great :P

[ScreamingFalcon]

Am I the only one getting having issues starting this game for the "Games" part of the Start Menu under Windows 7? Every time I click the icon, it pops up the folder the game is in, and not the launcher!? What gives?!?!?

[DjNDB]

It is a Known issue (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12975).

[ellabella1102]

There have been a few instances when Guybrush moves his mouth but doesn't say anything... Probably just a sound file missing.
