Whee to get help for Thief 4?

I just started the prologue and am experiencing a techinical glitch. There's a point where Garret is performing a series of dead-easy jumps, but he gets to one jump and just won't jump. Instead he looks down, and that's it, over and over. Okay, I get that he's way up on the roof, but big whoop. It's a 2-foot jump.

I've looked at Youtube walkthroughs and I'm right -- It's just a simple jump. It's just that Garret won't do it.

Obviously I need some help here -- but I can't find any forums associated with the game.

Could you post the Youtube link and the time that the jump occurs? I played it a while ago but it may ring some bells. I remember that I had a few problems getting where I wanted to go. There is a forum on Steam but I don't know how helpful it might be. Did you try running and then jump? Also, try jumping from a bit further back from the edge.

I eventually discovered what was wrong.

It's an interesting tutorial that only gives you half the information you need: One jump, two jumps, three jum...no, wait, that one is a running jump. Sure, it's no farther than the last two jumps, but we want you to make a running jump now. We just won't tell you that. And we won't tell you how to do it, either. Nyah, Nyah. Neeneer neener.

So it was a running jump. I liked the game but it was one of the most difficult in getting from one end of the map to the other, and you have to travel back and forth. Hope the rest of the trip is easier.

Yes, the map stinks. I know I can go somewhere where there are docks, and a merchant who sells some tools I needed for some of the wuests I just did, but I just can't find the place. And I can'tfind a guide anywhere to show me how to get there. Very frustrating.

I may have to resort to violence and knock out all the guards so I can roam freely without running into them all the time. Trouble is, they roam in pairs, so I'll have to kill them...which violates my no-kill policy. But, you know, needs must.

Traveling to the docks, there is a gate that gave me fits. It is very well guarded and it is hard to knock out one without the others noticing. I was able to sneak by finally. It gets easier on further tries. Past that gate, there is an area where I had a hard time finding a path forward.

This map may help...

Thanks Pokey.

My problem is that I can't find the way to get to the dock area from the Market (where the clock tower is). I've been wandering around for days and can't locate the entrance. And because I haven't got the tools, I had to miss out on loot on two missions.

If you haven't found the gate, this map will be more useful, but they all are hard to follow. I believe I started from a second floor window of a shop. The gate should be at a place marked "crates" that you squeeze through. I'm not sure which one, but I think it is the lower center one where there is a break in the map. There is a window marked just north of there.

But I've been there a hundred times, where it says "crates" at the bottom of the map, and there are no crates, just a gate that I can't interact with. I'm standing right there, right now, and I can't go anywhere else.

And that map also shows a window you can go through and come out onto the other map, and I went there and searched and there is no such window. It just isn't there.

Edit -- anyway, I decided to go on into Chapter 2 without the tools. And once I was done with that, the window WAS there. You need to be in Chapter 2, apparently.

And saaaaayyyyy....some of those Foundry guards sound just like my double-dealing ex, Solas, that rat-eared, false-faced elven wolf-lord, a.k.a. David Gareth-Lloyd. Lovely Welsh accent. He can whisper sweet Solas lies or grumble guardly nonsense and it all sounds wonderful.

WooHoo, Hagatha, I'm glad you were finally able to get through that. So frustrating to deal with those blocks!
