Take a look at this here.It looks to me like the order of the levers you use (from the top) is: the first, the third, and then the second. You might need to go back to a previous save before you have started this part, though.

Hi All !!
The error in the solution of the Dam puzzle is no longer, the correct solution is in the walkthrough on our website.
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage!

Petert, one of my solutions for a screen that is dark in just one part of the game is to play it at night with all the lights turned off! That really seems to help when I don't want to change the gamma for the entire game.

Marian, I remember MANY years ago, someone was playing Dracula The Last Sanctuary which was a very dark game and no gamma settings back then for the old CRT monitors. She and her daughter were playing the game by throwing a blanket over the top of the two of them and the monitor! Her husband came in the room and had quite a sight to figure out!!

Peter, did you try playing in the darkness?

Folks, I got this from the walkthrough author. .... "If anyone is having trouble with the darkness ...... Try looking in the lower part in the back of the engine room, there you can find an oil lamp. You can read about it in the walkthrough http://www.pcgameswalkthroughs.nl/ The part after the monster has attacked". Maybe it can solve the problems with the darkness.

Draclvr - yes I am really in the dark, metaphorically as well! It's hard enough as it is, this game. I have resorted to slavishly following a walkthrough, but still come up against difficulties. Currently, I am in the warehouse trying to get the coal out, and failing dismally. I can't see how to get the cart in the right place to access the chute. I followed the W/T and I think I am outside number 2 coal chute, but cannot seem to be able to get a closeup of the chute. As soon as I click on the dot, Kate goes to the end of the room, and I cannot get to the chute. Also, when can I expect an automatic save. I haven't seen one yet, so I am always using 'continue'?

petert, a poster on Steam posted the below information. Maybe you can try this in case you missed seeing the save icon. I'm pretty sure there is something to see but offhand I cannot remember what it looks like or where it shows up.
"It happens quite regularly don't worry, generally just after you're done with a task. If you want to check if your game is saved before you quit, just go to "load" (just after "continue" and "new game" in the pause menu) and you should see a picture of the last time your game was saved and the time of the save. That way you can quit without wondering if you just did some stuff for nothing. ;-) "
Oh, another posted this:
"Since my last comment, I actually found the gear icon. It flashes for a second in black right below the little notification whenever the main quest updates. So whenever you hear the sound of the main quest updating and the little notification box pops up in the upper right corner, a little black gear should pop up for a second just below. It's very easy to miss on darker backgrounds and it comes up for a second. "

From what I understand, it's kinda/sorta like the save-on-exit of a Big Fish game.

Since I have no clue about this game as I haven't played it, hopefully someone who has can help you out. Can I assume you've checked out the walkthrough to make sure you haven't missed something? I think links to it were posted in your other thread.

Peter, I merged your queries with your previous thread about Syberia 3 while changing the subject heading a bit. This way other players will be able to follow along with your progress and see what has already occurred. Having said that, the Steam forum for the game has this thread about the interaction markers/white dots disappearing. Unfortunately this sounds like it may be a glitch. There is another thread here that discusses this problem. One person said the following: You can bypass the loading screen issues, including the disappearing interaction buttons and the broken Oscar's Heart fixing by only changing the quality of the game before starting it! Change it from faster to best, or from best to faster, then vise versa again, from best to faster, or from faster to best, depending which is your main preference, and the problems shouldn't occur ever anymore! If this problem continues, I found some save games for Syberia 3 here.

I'm thinking while we're at it, we should make sure Peter's computer is up to snuff. The crystal only being half there sounds like a video issue.

I think you might be right, oldbroad. But then, that would be requiring me to remember something!

Possible. If you have disk errors, they could definitely cause problems. I just wanted to be sure your computer meets the game specs. If you want to discuss and investigate further, just post down in the Glitches forum!
