Ivory Citadel bug

[last_magic_user]

There's a (super easy) puzzle where you use start by using twin souls over a platform, send each half to stand on a wall lever, when the platform opens up, drops the statue through a portal, then sends it across a room to reach a cliff that is otherwise blocked. The problem I am having is that it's not triggering that long jump for the statue. I tried it at least 30 times, and I am certain that it's a bug with the game. Anyone know a fix or a way around it (like console no clip mode)? I'm trying to play the game legit right now. x.x

I went ahead and looked up the video for that very spot, because I got so frustrated. Then I found out I was doing it right. Go ahead and look at it for yourself.

You have to long press the button when you shoot the portal thing then it should work

Hi, well I'm replaying this game from scratch again, and I'm blocked at the exact same point. Very frustrating, since I already ended up the game once, so I used to cross this puzzle game without problem.

The problem now is that Death seems to be "heavier" than in my old memories... Its statue form reaches the cliff with the charged portal... but in front of the grid, not behind. So when I unsplit the souls, well, I'm still blocked inside the room... with the closed grid in front of me. Has anyone experienced this bug?

Yes, i'm stuck at the same point now... Did you find a way ?

EDIT !!

I found a way around :

Instead of splitting my soul in the middle of the room, i did it on the edge of the openning gate. The cinematic of the falling statue stayed the same but it gave me the extra length i needed to pass the grid.

In 2021, same as mhark'alarghaal, I complete the puzzle with the soul split and charged portal but the statue is launched on the wrong side of the grid. So when i come back to the real form the grid closes before me. Any idea ?

FIX FOR FALLING SHORT WITH CHARGED PORTAL: (2022 edition)
Lower your max fps to 60

My game was doing what the previous post described, launching across the room, stalling in the air for a fraction of a second, then falling a few inches too short of the gate.

lowered the FPS to 60 and made it first try.
I think the positioning on the gate Requiem described was coincidental (glad it worked for him, but i wasn't as lucky)

Woah. I posted this in 2013. Thank you for the help. I eventually got around it

(FPS did help then too, I just didn't know how I did it, so since I couldn't re-create it, I just left this discussion to rot).

in 2023 I can confirm that reducing fps to 60 from Nvidia control panel solved the problem for me !
Thank you for solution!
