Well the fast time didn't make a blind bit of difference! i know it is explained that time shown is not real time but is also important. Anyway I still didn't get to see Greta I'm afraid. Now the saves I manages to move to desktop no probs. Just can't move to save folder. Where is it apart from the squares of saves I have made during the game. I have tried to drag and drop on to the game, also have tried to save to the game but my computer keeps asking for a writable disc? I have discs but I am sure that is not what you meant?

An installed game is made up of sets of folders.
Usually they are installed in the main computer drive.

Let's try this:
- Open your My Computer folder.
- Open the C drive.
- If you're using win7 OS - open the program files86.
- Look/open for the Trecision folder.
- then open Watchmaker folder and then the 'saves' folder.

See if you find the saves folder. Then follow the instruction on the mail. luck

I am using a Windows 8, it is very poweful I am told and works in Terabites rather than megabites? My son is amazed that the game plays on it at all! He also said I couldn't find my "saves" as I was playing from the disc and not the hard drive. I hope you know what I have just typed as I blowed if I do! He uninstalled and re installed ,to the hard drive I presume and said to start again. I opened the game today and all my saves are still on the game, from last time,but if they are on the hard drive then folder I may be able to get passed the blooming Greta thing, will let you know. Thank you so much for sticking with this you must be sooooooooooooo fed up with me by now!

I managed to get the saves onto the C drive and clicked to open. It showed a black screen with white writing at the topt saying it could not open as it contained errors. I am sure this is not true of what you sent, so I am now thinking what did I do wrong now!Arrrgggg!

The files should be placed in the saved game folder that is in the Watchmaker folder (not just on the C drive).
See the step by step on my post above.

Think of it as folders inside another folder until you reach the one you need.
C drive - program files86 folder - Trecision folder - Watchmaker folder - 'saves' folder.

You will be very very pleased to hear that I finally did get to put your save in my game and indeed did have the conversation with Greta! I have played a lot more of it and hope to finish tomorrow. Will let you know when that happens as I am sure you can hardly wait.

Well sorry but here I am again. I bet you know why too don't you? I have reached the part where Darrell is tied up and Victoria has to sneak past Krenn to get to the "blood room". I really cannot do this. I have been shot so many times I have more holes than a tea bag! Ha ha. I have gotten Victoria to run but she goes past the door before I can swivel her round. Most often I just seem to step out and wait to get shot. My son had a go for me but he has no patience! He says it is near on impossible to use the right keys as when you come out of first person you can't see Krenn. He did however manage to get to the second pillar, once, which I just can't seem to do without the inevitable happening. please can you help me to do it right? I really must finish this game it is too near the end now.

Have you checked the end of Tally Ho's walkthrough?

(I have better luck with the arrow keys than the mouse, but that may be because I played Time Machine.)


It's been too long since I played it to remember much about it.
But if it's possible, try saving every time you reach a "safe" spot so you don't have to start all over each time.

Note:
Unlike Tally Ho, I have not played Time Machine. However I'd agree that arrow keys may be more likely to get you where you want to go than the mouse. I can remember how you'd click in front of your character and he'd turn around and run the other way. Mouse control in The Watchmaker was dismal. And that's pretty much all I remember about the game.

Thanks Jenny -

Lozza, Jenny is right. If you are trying to get through this skirmish by using the mouse, you will not make it out alive. You absolutely must use the keyboard, giving you the accurate control you need. As for saving, I don't think it is possible to create a save in the middle of the action, but you should save when you enter the pendulum room and hide behind the pillar. That way you won't have to replay a lot of other stuff.

You must be in first person mode so you can watch Krenn. Once he is not looking toward you, you can shift to 3rd person and dash out of the room. Do it! I believe you can do it.

Well would you believe it, I did it! I actually did it. Had a few same getting shot stuff. Then I had a small brainwave. After the steps I used the arrow keys to position Victoria at the doorway of the "blood" room, waited for Krenn to look at the clock and came out of close then just went for it and she ran straight into the room. It was so easy I can't understand all the wasted attepts I had. Maybe it was just luck or circumstance eh? Whatever it was, I have finished the game. YAY! Thanks to all who helped me especially the "save" that saved my sanity and allowed me to go forward with the game. Thanks again all who helped I have actually finished this game, now all I need to do is to finish The Omega Stone and I will be a happy bunny! Ha ha
