I have got my copy of 80 days.Hurrah! But I'm a bit mistified about the jumping.I am trying to get up to the 3rd catacomb gate via the rocks.The 1st rock is no problem I just use spacebar and he climbs rather than jumps.The second rock if I try the same action it doesn't work and if I try space+ forward arrow he jumps over the 2nd rock and lands on the floor again.Is there some subtle move I'm missing?I want him to climb rather than jump.Need some help.

Give yourself some inertia. Go back as far as you can, on a straight line to your target. Then run and jump forward. You jump farther.

I am on the right deck the green of the arrow tells me so but I cannot find Moira's cabin.The green arrow is pointing to the wall with no door.I cannot go any further.Please help.

minibramble,

Please use one thread per game. Read the Hints guidelines and the stickied thread by Jenny to familiarize yourself again about the way Hints forum works. Thanks.
I edited the title also.

Moira question - Find another way to get to the other side. Look around one flight down and see if there are other way to go there. Check the walkthrough and see if it helps you to get there.

Thanks I didn't realise there were two sets of cabins.

I am in Bombay before saving Ravish. I am inside the station, bought the ticket on the train and have to go to Ravish's house, but I can't leave the station. He refuses because of Fix standing in front. I tried back through the window, it didn't work. How can I go out?

After buying the ticket, just go back to the window and go out. Position Oliver the right way to make the window active. <img border="0" alt="[holidays]" title="" src="graemlins/holidays.gif" />

OK, MaG, thanks. I tried to jump and jump forward with active window...going back to try it again.

Still stuck. I tried every position and angle possible with the green window. Is something wrong with my game? I had no problems with jumping so far...

I didn't jump, I just clicked on window and I was out on top of the crates.

Have fun with this eye candy. Try just exploring, looking around and then replay to continue. I did that a lot. I also walked-ran only but would try all those transport, then go back to a saved game. I toured each place and looked at buildings, colors and talked with the people.

Hi,

I just bought 80 Days and there is no way it will start on my computer. I tried tweaking by uninstalling the game, cleaning up my computer files, defragmenting, and reinstallin the game. I also downloaded their patch. I am able to view the read me file, but the game will not start via the desktop icon, via Play while browsing the cd, or via Run. My HP computer is fairly new with all the available Windows XP updates, Direct X 9c, etc. downloaded. All other new adventure games run on this computer with no problem. (Am presently playing RHem 2, and was just getting 80 Days ready to play next.) Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm having trouble with the kilt at the front of the train.Where exactly does it need to go can't find a hotspot?
Thanks.

Bowsel,

If you downloaded any of the demo - delete it.
Then install the game. We've heard about the problems the demo autoplay do to the autoplay of the full game.

If still have problems after doing above - install from the CD by clicking on the setup.exe.

Please keep us posted.

minibramble,

There's like a grill - ledge at front of the train. Move around and see where it's active. Might be the positioning again - go close and back up once - see if that works.

Hi MaG,

No, I never installed the 80 Days demo (or any other demo for that matter). I did install 80 Days from the CD by clicking on the setup.exe. since my computer is not set up to autorun. Even with the patch, the game doesn't work. I just removed everything. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
Bowsel

Have tried opening the game from the Apllication (80 Days).exe from - C:\Program Files\Trisynergy\Frogwares\80 Days.

It takes time to process, be sure that you are giving it time to go before moving into another procedure. Once it gets going, it works fine. Also be sure that CD 1 is on the CD drive you installed the game (if you have 2 drives). I play this game with no other program going.

Also be sure that when you installed the game that your antivirus program is off - that affects the installing. If so - uninstall and reinstall.

Please post at Glitches forum, if you have problem after doing this.

You are so right, MaG about eye candy. I also only run now. I tried all other means in the demos and they gave me motion sickness, I enjoyed though an elephant riding around the neighborhood, it was so realistic, ambient sound of voices, laughing...

I LOVE this game except for the climbing/jumping bits.I'm trying to get hold of the rope to go rescue the bird but I just can't make him get his arms out to grab the rope.If I press space and forward he justs jumps forward.If I press run + space + forward he falls off and I hate heights.Anyone got any good advice?
Ever grateful.

Try to just jump with not directional arrow - press space bar while under the right rope.

Two related glitches so far, perhaps, first one:
Jumping/climbing. In the room of ruins in Cairo when you must climb over the slabs of rock to leave the crypt area, I could not get him to climb. He only would jump. I tried over and over. Finally, I went back Otto and got him to show me again how to leave the place and then I went back and immediately was able to climb. I think that the reason I couldn't the first time was possibly cause I had not gone straight from the hint to the climb, but I slept first. Another glitch happened in that same statue ruin area which was worse: suddenly I couldn't walk in any direction but forward, I could not turn, only step left and right or back but always faced in same direction. Finally I had to exit game and ended up having to gather up all the chalices again as a result!!!
Anone else have that happen or is it my cordless mouse acting funky with a game again?

I find jumping too tiresome. Always takes a lot of repeating to finish. Especially it was difficult for me to jump on the overhead beam in the prison.
I am a little stuck now near the giant Buddha. I dropped from the rope on the circle, there are quite a few circles around Buddha. On which one exactly should I step to make him turn? I stepped and walked on every circle and Buddha is still motionless as ...Buddha.
Thanks.

Springchicken,

I find that you have to position yourself to make a jump that gets you through. As for the jail, you have to be one step before the beam to get up.
We all have to try and try before finding that spot.

As for the Buddha by the bridge, there is only one circle on the top of the back wall (where you should be) that you step on. See the minimap and learn that you should be at a level higher than the ground where the Buddha is located.

Kahless,

Sorry - missed your post. That did not happen to me. I personally do not like cordless mouse. They are sluggish or sometimes unreactive for my purpose.

I tried to play the game on my slave cd my bottom one and It kept taking me back to my desktop, so I put the cd in my master drive the top one and it played fine. Hope this helps. The only thing I don't like about the game is the saves. I like to save when I choose.
