Hi, I've been reading other probs with this game none of which has been a problem for me but I have just got to the start of Chapter 3 where Bent is tied to the shower handle. As I couldn't seem to do anything, I looked at a few walkthroughs and I am supposed to use the curtain pole on the handle but I cannot "use" the pole. The option appears but when I select it nothing happens. Can anyone help? Maybe a savegame immediately after this (tho I'm not all that techie so I'd need instructions as to how to use it) Thanks.

Same problem here. I can't find any website that addresses this problem.

I have the download version of this game, from an offer of the justadventuregames site. Maybe the problem is specific to that version?

Anyway, for me a savegame right after this would be very helpful too.
Thanks for any help.

See if the screenshots here or this German video walkthrough helps.

I am not sure about saved game. Still looking for one.

Hi Lyn and Gen,

I sent you the closest saved game I have - this is when Bent is out of the bathroom. luck

Hi Genf, yeah got mine on the same offer (with Whispered World?) too so maybe you're right.
Mag, thanks I looked at walkthroughs on Youtube as well as GB text w/ts. Think genf will agree we know what we have to do but just can't do it. Very frustrating!
Let's hope someone has a savegame.

Thanks Mag I'll give it go

MaG - Thanks for the savegame, but... the trick didn't work.
I followed your instructions as well as I could (using a different savegame location... on my Windows 7 system it's C:\Users\<my username>\AppData\Local\Daedalic Entertainment\A New Beginning\Savegames.)

Anyway, I replaced the latest savegame there by yours, but the game refused to recognize it.
I also noticed that yours is considerably larger than my savegames... around 1.4 against 1.1MB. I bet it has to do with a different patch level.
The question now is, do I have to apply a patch and where do I get it?
Any ideas are welcome!

Lynthorpe, do you have more luck?

I noticed a thread on the justadventure forum about this problem... here: http://www.justadventure.com/forums/posts.asp?t=24138&pg=1

Looks like they are searching into it as well, and even having contact with Daedalic itself.
I will keep an eye on both threads.

Had exactly the same prob as genf... I'm also on 7. When I launched the game my original savegame was just an empty slot but I also couldn't save over it...overwrite option came up so it must have recognised something being there.
Thanks for trying Mag.
I'm watching both threads as well.

There is a thread about this subject on a forum of the developers' website:
http://forum.daedalic.de/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1297

So, they are aware of the problem but not yet of a solution... Let's see what they come up with.

Just been reading the JA forum regarding this game. Apparently if it's their download that you have, there is a link on the forum to redownload the whole game. Evidently the bug with the curtain rod part has addressed. You've probably already seen this but just in case....... They say you need to uninstall the original download and reinstall the new one http://www.justadventure.com/forums/posts.asp?t=24138&pg=4

Thanks everyone for posting the question, suggesting solutions and posting the link to the JA site. I was stuck in the same spot with the curtain rod problem, but the procedure they gave took care of the problem. Lost all my previous saves, but they provided a save for the spot in the game where the curtain rod problem was encountered.
