I also got stuck at this. You have to wait until the leaf turns brown before you click on the seed. I was clicking it right away, and I could not get back out. Hope this helps.

OH, NO! I've run into the "mug bug." I've made the drink, but can't use it. I even tried a suggestion on the Steam forums to make the drink before I did the pentagram puzzle. Didn't work. Wahhhhhh...

Oh, blast, I just made a drink in the mug, so I hope I have made the wrong drink combo.

My question concerns Harker's map in the trunk of the old car. On that map is "old barn." Am I looking for that in vain?

Never mind, I finished. I made the soup first, then the drink, which the game was finicky about.

I'm sorry Barrow Hill: The Dark Path is over. I enjoyed all of it except the video puzzle because the flickering images bothered my eyes.

Oh, and I tried making an effigy for Wincey. Can't be done, not even sideways or upside down.

Why, I wonder, were the packets of ingredients called Purine Balance? Weird name. As I have gout, I treasure the idea of purine balance, still Purine Balance is a peculiar name.

Yes, you are. I would have loved to have that old barn to explore, but alas we won't be in this game.

If you got the right drink, it will turn purple and get sparkly. I made the right combination, but it won't come out of inventory.

Hi everyone. Just started playing the game and love seeing the old scenery and hearing Emma Harry on the radio again. I was just wondering after reading some member's posts, if there is an update to the main game that I may need to install? Just want to make sure I have it before I get too far in the game so I don't get stuck somewhere down the line.

Thanks everyone,
Tracy

Normally, with Steam, the updates installes itself automatically.
You can look on the left side of the menue. If there is written V1.01 it is the updated version of the game.

Thanks, Seagul!
Tracy

There was a new update. Now i have Version V1.02.
I hope everybodys problems are solved now.
I love this game and it is frustrating to see how the bugs destroy the pleasure to play it for some people.

I do hope so seagul. Started new games three times. Uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted games and still getting stuck on that blasted mug!! Are we the mugs do you think?

Edit: Have been playing for a while now, all seems OK, events happening when they should, few extras. I feel confident that I will be able to finish. Apart from the bugs have been enjoying this game, I may even go back and replay the first Barrow Hill.

I'll keep my fingers crossed, Upsydaisy.
You are very patient. How do you mix your Purine Balance tea???

Oh, the mugs... nearly made me tear my hair out! On a new game now and crossing my fingers it works this time.

I also got a new update last night & started again...(for the 3rd time) I just left the garage after reading & checking out the contents of the trunk of the old car. Left the garage & headed back into the woods & the game locked up!! Couldn't do or go anywhere. I had to quit & start again. This will be the 4th time:( I really love the game but keep running into bugs. I will make sure I save before heading back into the woods this time!!

Seagul: if you want 2 gentle hints. The ingredients can be viewed on either laptop. The note, in the diary (on burial goods) will tell you what the brew should contain. Good luck

Well, my hopes have been dashed. I seem to have run into yet another game ending bug. Got all the move clips and have them compiled in the correct order. Set the transmitter according to Gus' instructions and got the "signal live" message. But the "extra" movie clip will not appear. So I went back to check the transmitter - sure enough it had an error message... but I was unable to click on anything to change the settings back. Loaded the game again and this time I could reset the transmitter. Backed out of the screen and went back in - yup, the error message was back.

I am unable to proceed once again. Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm sorry Drac. After last nights update I am finally moving along again but I haven't done the movie yet. I got froze up at the candle puzzle last night but took an old save and got past it.

I'm hoping against hope that it's just me!

Drac

Did you compile the movie? I just finished the game and have enjoyed it very much. I did not have all the problem glitches that others had except for one.

I can't complete the movie because no matter what I do, the "extra" clip will not show up. I have the 8 SD cards in the correct order, but when I click on Make Movie, the extra clip does not show up. And of course, without it, "you know who" is still in the farmhouse.

My enjoyment which was great, is slowly ebbing right now... This is two game killing bugs for me. Don't know if I can force myself to start yet another new game.

Are you sure you have them in the right order?At Steam someone posted a wrong order. 6 and 7 are wrong.
This is right:

Drac, after you play the movie you click on Make Movie. Then the last one appears.

Ana

I know - I've clicked on it a dozen times! No, I made sure I have the right order just like you have. I'm going to try opening the game up again and PRAYING the movie works this time! Still don't know what to do about the transmitter settings that just won't hold though.

I'm sorry. Do you think I can transfer a save to you?

I had thought I had the right order and clicked to compile the movie multiple time but it turned out I had one clip in the wrong place. The one that Seagull posted above ended up the correct one for me. I had the 6th and 7th mixed up.

Drac is doing the happy dance... once I reloaded the game and went to the laptop and clicked on Make Movie, it worked!! I didn't change the order of the clips at all as I already had them in Seagull's order.

And it appears that the transmitter not holding the settings doesn't matter... I was able to finish the game. When I've had some time away from the frustrations of the bugs, I will probably go back and play it again. It's really quite an excellent game - so very unfortunate it was plagued by so many problems. Hopefully they are all sorted out now.
