Sounds like other people are having the same problem - don't know if that is necessarily why.

It's fixed by saving the game and reloading that save. I don't use Alt tab, i use the windows key instead. Maybe that will help stop the issue for you.

that last see-saw puzzle was MEAN.

Went through all the episodes with hints off, no problem, and got stuck right at the end!

I had the bug too, it happend in the same place, I opened my inventory as soon as I got there and was checking out the stuff for longer than it should have let me... I don't know if that caused the issue or not, but that is what I was doing at the time. Sorry I don't have a save game to send...and I wish I knew that saving and reloading would work. I just restarted with the last auto save and that was way before I even solved the sponge diet puzzle! (Maybe at least adding an autosave checkpoint when you finished that puzzle woulda been nice.)

We've got a few saves now. Thanks guys and sorry for the bug.

Thats alright, it's inevetible that any game will have a few bugs.

Asgath · 12/14/2009, 03:50 am

I didn't have the problem of the bug so it certainly isn't affecting everyone.

You can't walk in this bit...

Yep, same here, what's even worse... I checked the walkthrough... and found out that I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do... but Guybrush isn't stepping where I want him to step... he just says his "at sea. Ha." line, then LeChuck does his punch-travel thing again.

Am I supposed to double click? What is going ON?

What have you done so far?

Ah, good question... you see, I got it to work ONCE... and haven't been able to repeat the success since.

I've done everything I'm supposed to do, the sail, light the cannon, get punched into the right spot... and Guybrush just... says his line... and doesn't do the stepping.

I don't know if I'm just glitching out, which is why it worked ONCE... but never again... which is why I'm thankful I created a savegame AFTER that point.

Still, bothers me... want to know if I just didn't click in the right spot, or if it's a wee little game bug.

Soultaker · 12/30/2009, 11:57 am

I ran into this issue as well. Are any more saves needed, or do you have it covered?

Falanca · 12/30/2009, 12:28 pm

You guys are forgeting one single element of this puzzle. You guys didn't mention about this one in your posts, so I'm putting this as a reminder. If you already know this, I'm really sorry for being such a wiseass.

The thing is, where LeChuck jumps from is also an important aspect of this puzzle.
You have to go to the wheelhouse after LeChuck launches you to the crow's nest. Then wait for LeChuck, and then talk to Elaine and click on the seesaw only once. It doesn't work if LeChuck jumps from crow's nest to main sail. LeChuck HAS to jump down from wheelhouse in order to land on the seesaw perfectly.

I just saw this thread and I have not read any spoilers so please no hints for the moment, my only question is that I also can't move, is this normal? Can I continue or something is wrong? thanks.

apenpaap · 01/05/2010, 02:46 am

It's normal that you can't move. Guybrush is getting punched around pretty hard, and is hardly able to stand.

Zodler · 01/05/2010, 09:28 am

Thanks, I'm still in that part. I don't know why they do this but it's kind of annoying to have limited time. It's like a racing game!

Ah I just posted on this - seem to be having the same issue, waited around 10 minutes, nothing - went off and came back after 20 minutes, same spot! Not sure why he won't come and punch me around the ship, and I thought I could move a little earlier(within the same screen). Will re-load later and see if that solves it

Pitbull-Threepwood · 04/01/2010, 12:49 am

Hi... so I played that one spot over and over again, where you basically allow LeChuck to strategically abuse you until you're in the right spot. The only thing I've figured so far is that... persistence is the winner.

You know when he knocks Guybrush's twiggy little body into the right spot ... then just start clicking in a small area where you know he's supposed to go to trigger the next sequence. I haven't found a particular "sweet spot" that just MAKES Guybrush step on the plank... seems fairly random.
