i have tried and tried for over an hour cannot load flower on altar. i even reinstalled the game. do i have to restart the game all over again.

do not mean to complain, but it is getting really old buying games with so many glitches, they really should all be worked out before releasing the game. i am not speaking of just bfg but other sites as well.

could someone please help me here.

thanking you in advance.

terri, I don't think this is a glitchy game, I haven't heard anyone complain of that.

You need to be sure you find the hotspot (Blue shiny curser) before you place it. Are you getting a blue shiney area?

Terri, I haven't played this, but earlier in this thread someone said

Look for the blue sparkly place to put it. sometimes the active area is not where you would think, it might be in the middle of that alter instead on top.


I hope that helps. luck

i tried and tried read all the hints never got a blue arrow at all.

according to the bfg forum, they are aware of the glitches in this game, have contacted the developer and will have a fix next week. lots are complaining the japan area.
guess i will wait for the new fix and try it again.

thank you all for the help really appreciate it.

I managed to finish with the glitch opening doors. I started over & when I got to the doors I opened them on first try. Still a good game though.

I also ran into a glitch. It was in the part with the 4 caves and you had to get the four medalions. The game locked up at the sand puzzle with the last medalion that I needed. I didn't have that medalion but the game said I did so it wouldn't let me open the completed sand puzzle to get it. I had to start over, which wasn't so bad. It went really fast the second time through and it's a really fun game, so I didn't mind too much.

I didn't get any glitches with this game.

In the developers' defense, they cannot anticipate every single combination of hardware and software (OS) which can cause these glitches. Most developers do the best they can with QA before they release and work very hard to help with glitches when they are aware of them.

I have just finished in the maze and have placed all the statues in the outside of the circle. Across from me is what looks like an exit. I have to find some weights and I have a skeleton key in tools. Problem......I cannot exit this area. The key doesn't seem to fit anywhere and I don't find any of the weights. The hint system says to leave the room. Can't go in any direction. Does anyone have a suggestion on this? I think I am in a London Castle.

CHerie, the weights are in the base of each statue when you place them all. You should be fine once you find those.

Love this game! easy on my old eyes and not extremely difficult to find stuff, but as said ya gotta think! to turn pieces ya can click on the edge of the piece and drag either way. you do not have to be 100% perfect on that it will snap in if close!
It took me about 5 steady hrs to play full game. Btw for those of you like me are low on funds, there is a site or so that ya can download games for free except playing free you view advertisements from time to time. don't know if I can include url for the site I got this or not so won't get it till I hear different.

You must be talking about mostfun.com?

We have had the discussion of mostfun here before and as stated previously we do not recommend them. They use peer to peer networking and have questionable tracking means. I cannot in good faith recommend that fellow boomers use this service and risk their computers and/or private info stored on them.

The statues you place in a circle is King Arthurs court and the weights your looking for are at the base of each correct statue. you must have all of these to go any further, once you have the weights the key opens the brown door ahead.

I found the Date Scroll and she says to continue on to the next room. When I try to move, she says that I can't leave until everthing has been found. I have found everything, and now I can't move any further.

Tammy, I have the same problem, got a black light and the date scroll and I can't go to the next room because it says I need to find the date scroll, but I already have it??? I tried every inch of the screen looking for hotspots, both with the scroll and the black light and found nothing. I'm wondering if we're in a glitch as as 3 other forums I have asked this question, no-one has come up with an answer. Lets hope we'll be luckier here...:o}

Those are the same 2 objects I have. Guess there is a really bad glitch in this game. I'll just go on to another game and forget this one, for awhile. Thanks for the reply catzzz.

I finished the game last night. I fortunately had no glitches, but a couple times the words would stay on the list and I'd have to click on them to make them go away. I also thought I had a couple things but I found I had to click on the spot again after the blue highlight was gone to get it.

The date scroll is used to show how to arrange pictures in the musuem. Have you used the black light yet, it is shine on paintings and then you see a statue highlighted in blue and she will say need to go back to statue.

I'm going to uninstall the game and re-install to see if that makes a difference. I'll let you know how it goes Tammy. Fingers crossed as I was really enjoying playing this game. Thanks for replying everyone!

Hi All: Finished the game and it never burped once on me so I guess I got one without any hitches. I found the game medium in difficulty and good story line with clear graphics. No timer and adequate hints. All in all I think it is replayable and a good purchase. I will buy any sequals to this one. Thank you for the help all of you have been, the discussion thread was a great deal of help also.

John, per your agreement with Gameboomers, you agree not to download games that are pirated. THe site you mentioned is not a legal download site and personally I can't be happier to hear they are full of viruses. I wish all pirated copies would be.

Do you not feel that the Developers should be compensated for their work? Our purchasing their games is what allows them to make more. There are clubs that allow you to buy games as low as 6.99 and you get to try for an hour free to be sure you like it. I don't think you can get any better than that.

Ana
