SPOILERS: Impossible boss fight - please help.
Shooting the doll in Kaysens pocket is impossible. The gun aiming controls are awful. All I need to do is shoot the doll to finish the fight, but I can't aim the gun down in the right direction when I'm standing on his shoulder. I've tried with KB/Mouse and with 360 controller. And it's really a problem that it only gives you a matter of seconds before you're thrown off and have to do it all over again. Has anybody run into this, and found a fix?

1. Use Submachine gun, spread can help you.
2. Don't use auto-aim, it'll make you aim inside Kaysen's body.
3. If you can't aim up and down, try to alt-tab the game and bring it back up. Aiming should be unlocked after that. W98/XP compatibility mode could help too.

I can confirm that, having had the same problem, running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode completely fixed the fight. I was also able to aim at the doll in his hand during the fight, making it quite a bit easier overall.

Ah, that's why I can't aim for the apples on the tree. Sheesh, I had to go to Win98/ME to get past one bit, then change to Vista for another and now back to Win98 again. Amazing port this >.<

Thank God! Win 98 compatibility mode fixed the aiming issue for me as well. Although make sure you turn it off after you beat the boss as it increases loading times quite a bit.

I tired the Win98 compatibility mode, yet it just crashes the game on launch. What should I do?
