There should be a balcony that you can jump to. You have a save, so look for the most likely solution and give it a try.

You need to get into the nearby building and move around from there.

Good morning; I think I've hit some sort of glitch. I've been thru the bldgs, across the water tower and met Mackey. When I go thru the window I get a screen that talks about a jailbreak and then the screen goes blank. If I move the mouse it sort of shakes the screen but that's it. (Out the window I land on the ground by a ladder). Is there something wrong? Do I need I patch? What? nu2gaming

There is no patch. There is a load screen at this point. Have you tried hitting esc and then continue? Or restarting the game and continue or restarting the computer and continue?

Pokey; I have tried escape and reload but not esc and continue and not restarting the computer. I'll try those. nu2gaming

Naah guys somethings wrong. I've even cleaned the disks, uninstalled and reinstalled the game and I still get that greenish/black screen with no picture no sound. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions? Maybe I'm not supposed to jump out of that window. But I get the intro to Jail Break and and entry in Jack's journal then...blank. nu2gaming

Try posting down in glitches nu2gaming and see if one of those on the ball folks can figure it out..sounds like a glitch in your cd; no one else has mentioned this happening to them

I had that problem in the area of the generator room. I was able to go into it but all I could see was green. So I avoided it and just hoped that I did'nt need anything in there. Thats where I am now. I have not played since I experienced that green screen.

Hi JohnBoy; My problem was some adjustments my son had to make on my computer to get Dreamfall to play.
He undid those adjustments and now I am able to continue. Right now I am at the top of the ladder waiting to follow the inbred cop into the alley. nu2gaming

Hi; I'm in the precinct. I have the whistle, the shotgun, ammo, a colt, Capt. Marsh's diary and the keys but I can't get Brian to come out of the cell. He keeps saying he's not going anywhere until he knows he can trust me. Also there is something "high-lighted" in the crazy guy's cell am I supposed to get it? nu2gaming

Don't you have a photograph in your inventory?

Aha. Now you have firepower. Payback time. Did you pick up the crowbar outside? It's a very handy thing.

Pokey; Oh, the photograph. Hadn't thought of that.
Yes hagatha, I got the crowbar. And popcorneater, since mine is a systems administrator, he comes in very handy. Sometimes though he gets a little frustated at my total tech phobia. nu2gaming

OK. I've got Brian out, I've been to the garage (no Mackey), back to the precinct, fed the dead rat to the crazy guy got the paper from his cell, pushed the wardrobe aside to reveal the safe and Jack refuses to open it. He keeps saying "not right now", "maybe later" etc...what have I missed? Oh! By the way, I'm having a ball finally blowing these guy to pieces. nu2dancing

You have to have the combination to open it. You need to open and read something maybe?
