Stuck: Heavy Resistance

[Quiet]

I am at the part where you walk across a narrow platform to turn a valve that will raise water inside two pits. You have to jump in the water and jump out to enter a room. My problem is I can't get out of the water. Tried looking up when jumping and still can't get out. Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

There is a ladder in (under?) the water which you have to use to climb out.

Nah for the room you need to get to you have to use the water to get out (Why you fill the pit with water) but I got out by just mashing the space bar lol. Im pretty sure its a bug. I've also got stuck inside a couple doors.

Had the same problem. Solved it by turning around and jumping backward out of the water.

Found another fix. F.E.A.R. doesnt support 1920x1080 resolution. Use whatever supported resolution and you won't have any bugs whatsoever.

Find the sweet spot or backwards jump..it works .

AAHHAHAHA THAT WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SOLUTIONS EVER BUT WORKED.

Thank you

Yes, the ladder and water edge climbing controls are only one of many janky things in F.E.A.R.

I usually just hold my [SPACEBAR] and [W] towards the edge
that I want to climb and look slightly up from the edge.
If that fails (game just keeps throwing the player down into the water with some momentum), hold [W] and steer the camera towards the edge while mashing [SPACEBAR].

Never took me more than 5 seconds to get out once I did it this way.
I can imagine how some casuals might struggle with keyboard/mouse coordination in
this situation as it's not immediately clear what the ♥♥♥♥ the game is dealing with
when you just want to get out of the water.

This really reminds me of how Source engine & GoldSrc engine games like
the Half-Life series and Counter-Strike series handle the inputs for
crouch-jumping, long jumping, rocket jumping, surfing, bunny hopping and swimming.
You'll probably have to learn how it works properly if you want to do it consistently.

If you have finished F.E.A.R. 10 times and still get pissed at the swimming, water edge climbing and ladder jank every time you have to do it, you might as well just dedicate some minutes of your precious time to jump into the water, play around in it like a kid and figure out different things about how it works.

You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir. Pure genius.
