Puzzle bugged?

[Mhill]

Path of the living:- Find a way to open the door.

You simply have to match the symbols from both doors, but for some reason the left pillar mechanism doesn't rotate when you interact with it to match the 3rd symbol. Or am i doing something wrong?

omg thank you, I was about to give up. In my case the cogs still didnt turn properly, they only turned a few pixels at a time and then stopped for a while. I had to literally crank the wheel several hundred times to get them to move into place. How is this not a sticky ?

Same problem on Linux where I can't switch between DX12 and DX11. It is also not possible to lower the frame rate within the game. But I could lower it in the monitor settings of the OS from 144 to 60 Hz and then enable VSync in the game and then the problem was fixed.

I felt so dumb that I didn't understand the puzzle and then it was simply a game glitch. Interesting bug though. Now when I'm stuck at some puzzle I always have to wonder if my computer is too fast :D

I had the same problem, it was solved by suggestion above:
Press Q while rotating and this made the stones move

Running the game on Windows 10 DX12 with 180 fps

Thanks for the solution to temporarily enable V-sync at 60 fps. This made the blocks rotating. Once I solved the puzzle, I disabled it again. I did not have to turn off DX12 or adjust other settings.

Okay what worked for one streamer I saw was he limited his FPS to 60, turned off dx12, cranked all settings to minimal AND set it to windowed mode. Nothing else worked till he changed to windowed mode. If the above methods don't work for you, try that. Get through this puzzle, then change things back and pray they work.

Either way there needs to be a patch to FIX the DX12 bugs because they're SPECIFICALLY related to DX12, and it's infuriating.

Bumping up this comment as it helped me complete this buggy mess of a game

Update:

Ok, after some youtubing i was doing everything as i should have been. There is a glitch that stops the left mechanism from rotating the symbols. I even used a previous save, same thing. So now i cannot progress the story mode due to this. Awesome.

I'm using epic games! :( cuz its free!

I found a GLitch to make the puzzle go faster. For the Left side of the puzzle, you start turning it by holding "D" or what ever button to turn it to, then press tab to open up the map. Then press "esc" and the puzzle will move a bit faster. Keep doing that until the Left side of the puzzle is compelete. Now do teh same thing on the Right side but you hold "A" or waht ever button to turn it, then press tab to open the map. then press "esc" and the puzzle will turn faster. I Tried this myself, it should work.

Had the same problem I changed the graphics and it solved

Can't believe this is still an issue in 2022... Turning V-Sync on at half refresh rate (72) allowed me to progress.

[brainzzzzz]

2022 here, all updates etc of course - VSYNC did it for me.

2023 and turning off DX12 worked for me. Amazing.

Which puzzle? theres like too many puzzles. you gotta be specific.

[Cloud]

So many people have the same problem!. And it seems the problem is not easy to solve.
I had the same problem, too. Turning off Dx12 did not work.

My solution was to restore C:\ to the status when SoTR was not installed. And it works now! Every option including Dx12 is at the default value except Full Screen.

For anyone with no luck trying all these settings. Try Rivayuner to limit fps.

For anyone struggling, Turning OFF Directx 12 and Turning on Vsync fixed this issue for me.
