Common JP Problems/Solutions
Let's consolidate solutions to common problems mentioned here so far. Add more fixes if you know of any.
-Frame Rate is lagging
In the graphics settings, lower the Shadow quality to Low and/or turn off the DoF option. This appears to be a graphics card issue on certain ATI cards.
-Mouse pointer randomly goes missing during Exploration sequences
Close the game and reopen it.
-Game goes back to main menu after completing a scenario
The game will only progress during a Load playthough. If you are playing using the Scenario option, the game will reset to the menu after completion, as was intended.
-Game won't start up again after exiting.
Open the Task Manager and look for the game in the Processes tab. Select it and hit End Process. Try starting game again.
-Certain Achievements not activating
Some achievements must be obtained through a Load playthrough and won't activate if playing on Scenario.

Yeah, it took me a while to figure that one out. Maybe they should have included a readme or sort of manual since the game is not as self explaining as the previus TTG.
It just continued with the next episode.
Any comment on that?
I think they deleted the single credits after they decided to build one big game consisting out of several Episodes. I would have appreciated it to see the single credits, too.
It was by design that the credits only play at the end of Episode 4.
The frame rate is super fast, but the game seems to stick on a frame for 1-2 seconds while music and sound continues. It's definitely not a frame rate issue as I have reduced everything and found the same issue at any setting. It's almost similar to what happens when your streaming a video online and it hasn't buffered enough.
Really annoying, especially when the game is made up of important button mashing moments.
Here are my stats:
i7 3.2GHz, 12 GB DDR3 RAM, 1GB ATI Radeon HD5870. I should not be experiencing these issues. Can a member from the team comment on this? Thanks.
Just to note this issue makes the game unplayable in my opinion as it becomes frustrating beyond belief.
1) Logitech dualaction keypad's right trigger does nothing (so I cant enter into conversations)
2) Saved games won't transfer from one machine to another, (I am moving over autosave.save, and autosave.prop. I even tried moving over the prefs, to no avail)
and 3) keyboard controls are unresponsive in quickly paced scenes, and sometimes pushing the wrong key will actually be registered as successful. This is a smaller issue really compared with #2, as I am trying to play it tonight on another machine but do not want to start over from the beginning. Which leads me to my last question:
Is there any way to just start from a different chapter?
Overall though loving the story, however I feel the new interface is a bit of a snub to traditional adventure gamers... but I wont complain, great work so far despite the bugs.
That happened to me too. I found out that all you have to do to exit a conversation is press Z.
As far as the control issues go, I still can't manage to find a button for conversations on my logitech, so I'll stick to my sterling bronze status and fumbling on the keyboard controls (this could completely be my fault but I'm finding them exceedingly frustrating; and I usually prefer the mouse/keyboard...).
To note, I've had all of the issues mentioned above, minus the scenario menu reset though I managed through them, with the same solutions (task manager, restarting [I cant count how many times I've restarted...], etc) I wonder how prevalent these issues are? And if this game warrants a patch. It just seems some of these issues might be common for PC users, not sure about console users.
The game will only progress during a Load playthough. If you are playing using the Scenario option, the game will reset to the menu after completion, as was intended.
Why? Is there a possibility for game to continue after particular scenario completion? Can you make a patch? It kills immersion...
I run Vista. Also, that doesn't happen with any of my other games.
if that doesnt help, try deactivating the aftereffects
This should be a priority to fix.
On a positive note though, I have to say I think the game seems really good!
Also, an unrelated problem, which is just a graphics thing, and so I am not sure if this one goes here: on Gerry Harding's shirt, around his name tag, there is a large square that gets much darker than everything else when it is in a shadow.
Now I wanted to load some especific moments of some games.
The menu just doenst allow me to load the chapters. They appear all with the bronze-gold icons, but when I click on them, nothing happens....
Am I going to have to play all over again?
hehehe
Mixing is terrible in the game. The volume changes from low to high and during a lot of the helicopter scenes I couldn't understand the dialogue at all. I had to turn on the subtitles for that.
Same problem on my 2.66GHz Mac.
All you have to do is right click and the dialogue window goes. It's as easy as that

Got any solution to fix this problem on PS3 version?
I really hope to enjoy this game smoothly without lagging frame rate, the lagging is very annoying.
Thank you.
1. Touch the position you want to click on with your finger.
2. Go to main menu.
3. Click on resume and move the cursor FAST to your finger's position.
4. When back in game: click!
Do this as often as needed. The cursor will appear again later.
Help please?
Are you in the scene where you have to cut the wood? Then you have to wait until the icon flickers before you hit the key.
Try downloading again. If problem persists then try using newest version of winrar or winzip.
Having the same problem the exe file does not close down, have to log off or close by the task manager. I have steam but not playing through steam.I am running through xp as its my game drive. You only notice when you close the game & then try to restart.
