I just started the game and have 2 questions. 1st, when I try to save, I get the save screen, but don't know how to save. 2nd, is there a way to use the keyboard to walk? The mouse only lets you go 2 steps at a time. I bought the download version and cant find any instructions.

Yes, MyGreenEyes, you have to use the mouse to walk and navigate. You get used to it very quickly. The scenes are very beautifully rendered. Take the time to enjoy the gorgeous graphics.

To save, click on one of the save slots until you see a line or active area to the right of the save slot. Then type in whatever name you wish to use for that save. You should then see "save" or "cancel" and the bottom of the save screen.

Enjoy this great game, I loved it!!

Once you get the saved game screen:
- click on an empty slot (or overwrite an old one).
- enter the label you want for that saved game.
- Then click the "save" at bottom left of the frame.
As far as I know, there's no keyboard control.

As for moving forward, you do have to click on the next active spot to move forward.

Thank you for the info about the mouse/keyboard. I am still having trouble saving. I think I may have a glitch. When I get to the "save" screen, the "hand" cursor freezes up and I have to CRL/ALT/Delete to get completely out of the game. I am frustrated as I have to start over each time.

This is from MaG's walkthrough.

The main menu has new game, load game, save game, options, credits, exit and cancel.

In Options, the mouse and keyboard speed adjustments and subtitles selection are seen.

The ESC key accesses the main menu.

During gameplay, right click to hold the screen from panning and then move cursor to top of the screen. The menu icon and inventory is seen. Right click also skips the cutscenes.

You can use the arrow keys of the keyboard (or WASD) to move your view. A space bar press is equivalent to a mouse click and can be used to move you forwards, and to click on different items. A full list of the controls (both keyboard and mouse) can be found in the game manual, which is provided as a printed booklet with the boxed version, and is available as a PDF download for the download version of the game, from the official website.

There is a known issue with saves on some systems. It can be repaired by downloading and installing the patch, available from the official website: http://www.wittardgame.com/ (bottom of page). Furthermore, once the patch is installed, you can do the following (from the support page of the official website):



Thanks.

Thanks, ART_Adventures.

Great game. I enjoyed it.

Thank you!! I will download the patch and see if it works. Will let you all know.




It didn't work. I will unistall and reinstall to see if that takes care of the problem

Please make sure that you also have the Arial font installed on your system. It can be downloaded and installed from here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arial32.exe

If you require further help regarding this issue, then please send me a detailed description of your problem to the email info@wittardgame.com

NOTE: Once the patch is installed you can press the function keys on the either the save or load menu to save and load games. For example, in the save menu, press F3 to save the game to slot 3. In the load menu, press F3 to load the game from slot 3. If this feature does not work then the patch is probably not installed. Please ensure that the patch is installed to the same location where you installed the game originally.

Thanks.

After many frustrating hours, I now have a workable, saveable game. I contacted someone at info@wittardgame.com, and he gave me several solutions. The patch did not work for me, and I still don't have F1 F2 F3 functions, but I have the save function. It was the arial font. Thanks also to ART Adventures. Great advice.

Great that you're now able to play, MyGreenEyes. Have fun.
