Game froze at prune offices.. Not saved for hours..

[Jnx]

Just got to BJ's secret skyloft with Anu, and pressed on the button on the desk which prompted me to enter a code. I scrolled down to the bottom and entered the hashtag, and then just clicked rapidly through the rest, as I obviously didn't know the combination. Then the game just got stuck. I could move the cursor around, and still press CTRL+B just fine, but I couldn't move, click on anything, and the escape button didn't work, nor did anything else.

I had to ALT+F4 out of the game, and of course I hadn't saved for freaking ages, because why would I. There were no fail states up until that point.

I won't be finishing the game, because there's no way I'm subjecting myself to repeating all those things just to catch up and hopefully progress, but man that's super disappointing..

Hi there,
could you share some more details on that, first of starting with your system specs (OS, CPU, GPU and RAM)?
Could you share some more details what you have done in advance, that might have caused this freeze, e.g. skipped tutorials, frequently switched/alt-tabbing out to windows; whatever might help getting this properly sorted and also reproduced to verify this problem and potentially fixing it accordingly.

What about your savegame, how much progress did you lose and why not saving regularly by yourself? As the game offers quite a lot of savegame slots that should be used, as sometimes decisions could be done differently and players should have the chance to do so ad hoc. :)
Thank you in advance.

Here are my specs: https://i.imgur.com/mxyS5ML.png

Didn't skip any content, I think I alt+tabbed out maybe twice over my playthrough, but early in the game.

As for how much progress I lost, the save was when I first entered the prune offices for the first time (had just stepped out of the elevator). God knows how long that was, but a while.

As to why not save myself, I didn't really see the point unless I was quitting. I saved a lot in the beginning, but after I died the first time, I figured out that there were no absolute failstates, and the game seemed stable enough (never had an issue before this one) to not warrant saving, as the game is completely linear. I also like to just roll with the punches, so any decision done is something I just tend to live with, and see where the game takes me. I find this way much more enjoyable, though I did look up weird puzzle solutions while playing, as I just don't have the patience I did when I played the original Larry games, way back when.

Hi Jnx,
thank you for the detailed feedback. However, problem here is, as you have no respective savegame available as well, it is hard to impossible for us, tracking down, what might have caused this problem so far. Alt-tabbing out and back into the game as well as skipping some dialogaues completely (button-spamming) might be a cause, however, this one is tough to pinpoint. Therefore, only solution in the meantime is simply starting the latest savegame, porbably saving more often and if this happens again, providing us either with proper reproduction steps, or with a respective savegame, to get this sorted properly, verified and if verified most likely fixed.
Thank you in advance.

There's obviously no way I'm replaying it. I already mentioned that I didn't skip content, nor alt+tab.

Like I wrote in my OP, I just watched the ending on youtube, and that'll be the last of it. Just pretty annoyed about the whole ordeal. Furthermore, I already gave you the "reproduction steps". Maybe you didn't read my post.

same bug happened to me today, and i saw there is no real solution to this.

Hi @mentat_emre,
as I have already mentioned in this thread, without proper details (system specs, reproduction steps, to get this tested on our end) and a respective savegame to get this easily reproduced and tested on our end, this is something tough to impossible to sort out.
Therefore, best would be providing us with those details, that we can have a look into this.

Thank you in advance.

I got something similar bug exiting the vegan bar and the Lefty's toilet. Last one had some audio glitching for second or two before it happened. Both cases alt+f4 was only option. (win10, rtx2070 Super, AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 32gb ram)

Hi cvb666,
after that, could you properly play and continue the game?
Do you have a savegame, or any more details, besides your system specs, that we can have a closer look into this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi there,
could you share some more details on that? As without further details, it is impossible for us getting this properly sorted.
