Very sad im sorry for you , SEGA , ARKEDO have disappeared from this forum , good luck with ur bug

[Steel_Havoc]

I have the same bug.
I'll try to contact them directly on their support.
If I can't finish a game, i want a refund, that's normal, I paid for a product that should work ^^

[Steel_Havoc]

you're right. please contact me when toy done to know whats going on.

I opened a support ticket with SEGA and all they told me was that I should either fall back to the most recent savegame or start a new game. As the former isn't possible and the latter is absurd after 12 hours of playing I insisted on releasing a patch for this, as the bug is known since October 2012.
If that doesn't work I'll contact Steam support to ask for a refund.

I just ran into the pyramid bug too and still cannot progress further in the game. The location of the pyramid that is stuck is in a different location than yours but I also read in other places that the first two will work normal and the third will freeze. Please, let me know if they fixed it or whether you got a refund because this is ridiculous.

I've had a rather long discussion with the SEGA support and after the usual standardized suggestions to update my drivers and verify the installation through Steam they told me that they forwarded that bug to the developers and can't help me with anything else at the moment.
Their best suggestion, according to them, is to start a new game from scratch, which is just crazy.

What I found out during the discussion is that all the levels are stored in text files, each level in one file. You may save those files, start a new game and replace the specific level file with the file from the new game, but that will unfortunately reset the level and the monsters but NOT the monster counter. If you're unaware you might end up in later levels way to early because doors opened earlier than they should.

Thanks for the quick response! Does this affect the weapons and item upgrades as well or do you know if it's just specifically for the levels? Maybe I can somehow bookmark my level progress with screenshots. Just incase I do decide to go through with this method if only levels and monsters that are affected.

[Monk]

Only the level itself will get reset. Your character's progression and other "general" things like the island won't get reset. Apart from that I would advise you to make a complete backup of the folder to be able to roll back all changes made.

[digitallywasted]

So far, I still have the original (busted Zone 10) folder and I had started a new game to replace the zone 10. Unfortunately, when I replace the folder it's under the new save data which means the monster counter, island and everything else is gone. Is there any way you can provide more detail or am I just doing it wrong?

[Monk]

Instead of replacing the complete folder you should just replace the txt-file for the specific level, in this case 10.txt, with the one from the newly started game.
All the other files need to stay the same.

At least that worked for me.

[digitallywasted]

I'll try that instead, thanks!

[digitallywasted]

Huh. There aren't txt files specifically, just the xnb files. I replaced the entire backup (with the broken zone) to see if I could even recover the progress but it's still restarting from the "new save." ...Oh boy.

[Monk]

Than you may have touched the wrong folder, mine is full of txt-files and doesn't contain files of any other data type.

Fffffuuuuuuuu.
