Daggertail bug?

[Aloha]

Hi guys, I'm at this part:

The problem? He won't grab onto the damn ledge! In the video, he gets a high jump onto the ledge, but when I do it on PC, he doesn't get a huge jump off the chain.

This is the buggiest game I've played.

Dude....i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spent hours on this game only to be stopped by a game-stopping bug. I can't get a high jump. Nothing works. Anyone? Please help.

you mean the part @ 1:48?

Yeah, I had the same issue. Played the GOG version.

installed the Steam version to see if maybe it's better, but it's even worse, b/c I can't get around the temple shutter bug.

EDIT: having gone back to my GOG save, I DID manage to get past that. To do that I put the game in compatibility mode with Win XP, displayed in 256 colours, and maxed out all the graphics settings. Made the jump from lanscape mode (press Q)

The problem occurs if those annoying little enemies are too close. The game will treat your jumping attempt as if you're trying to wall-attack them. It has nothing to do with the game version. Just kite them away, then run into the corner, run up, jump and use the chain.

Nice necro, btw.

Then the enemy must have been stuck in a wall cause I killed all the enemies first.

Change your framerate on your monitor to 60fps. No need to kill all enemies first (never a requirement with the dark prince).
The dark prince does not do a wall jump/attack so you can always disengage from combat by running away.
