Bug in Kaptar portal (stuck in a game)
In Kaptar, after destroying a Mofang red laser, I walked to the bridge, rotatetd it such that it faces the protal, and crossed the bridge. When I was crossing the portal boundary, i got stuck in between. I can rotate, look in every direction, but cannot move, I cane see "both worlds" at the same time, both faded and overlapping.
Quiting the game and reloading did not help. It loaded into exactly same state.
I am suspecting that the game saved status in the wrong moment storing illegal value in the .sav file (simillar bug to the infamous maze bug).

Does anybody know how it can be fixed? I really wouldn't like to start the game all over again...
If this bug has already been reported somewhere and the fix is known, I would appreciate sending me a link to it.

A general note: I find Obduction extremely buggy. Shaky cursor which sometimes changes mode or disappers with no apparent reason, and aligment bugs like the one mentioned before and the maze bug. I believe that the game could have used additional few months of testing before offcial release.
None of the Myst/Uru games had this level of problems. Very disappointing.

If you try setting the game to node-based movement in the options (I think hitting the 'N' key might be a shortcut too), that might have the effect of snapping you back to a valid position.

Thanks!
I've run into this exact same issue. Has anyone found a fix?

Top Gun posted this fix January 9th. Try it and see if it helps you. If it does not, contact support@cyan.com with your system information and details of the problem.
Tried the node based movement, but had the same issue. I also tried different graphics settings. Nothing was responsive, not even the ESC menu.

I eventually just waited around for a while. This was unintentional. I was browsing for fixes on my laptop for about 10 minutes and didn't touch anything in the game. When I went back to the game, somehow the teleporter changed from pink to green and started working again. I was able to teleport and continue.

Finally beat the game last night!
