Phoenix bug

Hello. While playing Broken Sword 4 I encountered a little problem, namely: after applying the jack handle to the Phoenix compound door, there is a bug. Nico sort of freezes and the jack handle is seen hanging miarculously in the air. The game runs on all right, but I cannot do anything with the character. Any help? I am going to sincerely appreciate it:).

If anybody has the same (or similar problem), let him/her be informed that it disappears after validating local game files. Case closed:).

Case is not closed because it is still the same after validating, as soon as the gate opened game freezes.

I think you have to clic on the door WITHOUT the jack handle first, and then with it. It worked for me.

2024 and Win11 here. I can confirm that after validating the game files (right click on game in library, then go to "Eigenschaften" (dont know the english word) and let Steam check your game files on the harddisc. Good luck.

I have validated the local files from the Properties in Steam, I have clicked on the door before using the Jack and done all of this in Windowed and Full Screen mode and it still freezes immediately upon opening the gate. The music plays and Nico is unable to move with the jack frozen in the air. Is there any way to continue past this point? That is a wild game-breaking glitch to have and I just want to get through the end of this glitchy game...

I FINALLY found a fix looking for a solution to a different problem! A super helpful user in another thread wrote:

You have to force the game to run on Direct X 9.1.
Go to your Windows settings and either click on or search for optional features and then search for "Graphic Tools", add. then restart your computer.

You can now execute "dxcpl" in Execute (Win + R to open). It will open the Direct X properties menu.

In "Scope", click on "Edit List...", then "..." to search for the game executable, and "Add". Now you can go back to the properties window, and on the bottom of it, you will now be able to change the "Feature level limit" in "Device Settings". Change to "9_1" and the glitch should be fixed!

Hope that helps!
