Reporting Bugs

[Nacholabs]

Hi. Haven't finished Chapter One yet, but I did find some minor bugs [minor spoiler alert]:

• Apparently, the dialogs' charset doesnt support all tildes/accents. If you read across all books in voodoo lady's bookshelf, you can see a big square where an accent should go, in the book about El Pollo Diablo (which is in spanish).
• When skipping dialogs some weird things happen: sometimes the subtitle ends but the voice not. This happened while talking to the voodoo lady; the dialogs overlapped and voodoo lady talked to lines at the same time, for a few seconds.
• After you escape from deSing, he won't let you get near his door. What would happen if I hadn't picked up the flowers? Are they reachable?
• "errorundefined" popup in launcher, twice: the first, as soon as it opens, the second after it logs in.

Those are the ones I observed, and really are quite insignificant.
Congratulations for the game, and thank you so much! It's awesome. I laughed my ass off. I love you.

I think the hint system may be a tiny bit wonky. I had it turned down all the way, but suddenly Guybrush was giving me hints during the weathervane/idol puzzle, hints I certainly didn't ask for.

He won't let you near his door after you reach the hidden door in the jungle, and you can't do that unless you have the flowers, so I think it's a non-issue.

Possible bug, with spoilers. I tried to use the unbreakable bottle with the bottle breaker, and the pirate caught me. Nevertheless, Guybrush suddenly had the bottle breaker with the bottle in it, although his hand stopped him from breaking it. During the scene, the breaker was both in his hands and on the table. Afterwards, I checked my inventory, and the bottle breaker wasn't in it. Very, very odd...

I still love feel of the game, and its great to have Guybrush back again.

At one point Guybrush lost use of his kness and was gliding across the ground rather than walking. Only lasted for about 15 seconds though.

Nope, i'm pretty much sure he gets up the balcony after you flee from his workshop.

Here is another bug: The controller support (f.e. Xbox360) is broken, hotspot selection isn't working anymore and the mouse steering option has zigzag issues.

[flipperthepriest]

I thought the flowers fell off the moment you approached the door? As for the bottle breaker, I also had that bug, and i used it again after fixing the hand and it worked! of course you still need to get the breaker for later puzzles. There was also a very minor mapping bug in the jungle (I cant remember where) and the ground would "slot" onto itself, once on the sand and another time in the bushy stuff on the ground. I'll maybe screen cap and post later, if i can be bothered, as it is very minor. Still a GREAT game!

Spoilers ... Examining the weather wane while being threatened by DeSinge at the broken idol results in some weird stuff.

[Badwolf]

I've had a few bugs, like the glassblowing pirate coming down with the pox before the death cloud occurs, but looking normal the next time I see him. This happened quite a few times.

Also, after I offered LeChuck a breathmint at the start, when Guybrush was getting up off the floor, he just slid along rather than walking, but I could only make this happen the once.

Nothing really gamestopping though, really enjoying this episode so far .

another bug

After discovering the giant door (but not opening it) the dialogue with the pirate outside the courthouse contains references to what guybrush has seen inside the door.

I had the same bug. So when I got to the part where I needed to use the bottle breaker again, I was supposed to have it, but didn't.
I was never supposed to get to the place I needed it if I didn't have the bottle breaker in the first place... if you catch my drift.

I just releoaded and figured out how to get it, no big deal.

Hi I downloaded episode 1 last night and tried to play - nothing but a blank screen after the initial launch box. I've just reinstalled it again and exactly the same has happened, and all I can do is get a "not responding". My machine isn't amazing, but it's only a year old and can play Sam and Max and Wallace and Gromit - PLEASE can someone advise me? As a long time fan I was desperate to play the game last night and was really dissapointed at 2am when I couldn't get any thing to work.
Best
Pete

Dunno if this has been told yet, but when I tried using an object with someone, the writings for the hotspots disappeared and I had to load my last savegame to make them available again.

[Dark Byte]

Bug, but can probably be assigned to guybrush's idiot mind:
When guybrush is stuck with his hand in tar and can't move, you can use the glass breaker on the u-tube. He will stand up, with his black hand free, and break it.
Then sits back down and is stuck again

Dunno if this has been told yet, but when I tried using an object with someone, the writings for the hotspots disappeared and I had to load my last savegame to make them available again.

Happened to me a few times as well

This just reminded me of another bug I saw before.

When I was stuck in the jungle the second time, I was wandering around the jungle, rubbing objects on anything I could grab my hands on. On the spot where the broken idol arises, I tried the cheese on it, and it made a comment to the like of "That's a great idea, but I don't think these are the eyes for the idol." This was before I even figured out what to do with the map, and this really confused the living fuzz out of me.

[Jonesybunny]

When DeSinge is stuck in the last idol and Guybrush is at the right side of the screen, clicking on the idol makes Guybrush teleport to the left side of the screen and walk up to the idol to start looking at it.

[Ravey]

At the end when your hand is stuck to the tar, if you look at the weather vane, Guybrush momentarily stands up for that animation.

[jamiehavok]

possible bug the hotspot interesting socket near the giant statue just seems to point at a bunch of trees.

edit the hotspot has now disapeared - looks like ill be finding it later. must be a bug then

[wesrey]

I noticed a few things:
1) When you use the wishing well in the jungle, the screen flashes white and then transparent to show you looking like LeChuck.. I was wanting to skip this (I'd already seen it), so I pressed Esc right as the white flash was showing. I got the menu cursor and sounds, but the menu was covered with the white also.. my entire monitor was white. I pressed Esc a second time to return to the game, and the animation of the white fading out continued... nothing major, but you may want to undo any visual filters the game is currently showing when the menu is being accessed.

2) Using an item on an object in the world would about 50/50 leave that item attached to my "use cursor" or wipe it and make me reselect the object in my inventory. Not sure what the reason for either way was.. I prefer leaving it attached to my cursor to use again, myself.

3) I had the floating-not-walking Guybrush bug show up.. I think mine happened right after interacting with my inventory object on the carvings under the jail (Gromit!)
