Leeana, If you still need help: 1. Go left of hotel and right after the building with elephant towards Bollywood - see the GPAK member hidden in front of entrance - to the right. 2. Go back to hotel and go forward pass the hotel. Turn right at next intersection where the policeman is standing. Go forward, cross the bridge and a see the GPAK member before the arch and the station. 3. Go back, turn around and cross the bridge again. Turn left where another policeman is tanding. To the left of policeman is a door and left of that is another GPAK member. 4. Turn left and continue pass the arch and see another policeman at the corner. Go pass him and enter the entrnace to be inside the elephant square. Left of entrance is another GPAK member. He is standing left of the wooden bridge to the forest.

Leeana, Let's review since the next save point will make you miss another Buddha search. You do the hand over hand on the stretched rope. Look down and see a circle at the topmost part of the Buddha backdrop. Drop down to land on the top of the backdrop, higher than the Buddha. Then go to the circle - a position tweak is needed here - turn around, move forward, back a bit and the Buddha should turn. Try that and I also send you Yokohama 6.

Leeana please don't feel stupid. How would you know if you didn't ask? I couldn't find the people selling flowers in Yokohama....... I'm sorry you are having so many glitches. For the most part, the game is playing well for me. I think I am the biggest problem! Sue

Hi Leeana. I haven't had any glitches with this game....other than the brain[my own problems] glitches. I have walked/run to all places so far. I'm just letting him sleep in the streets. That's pathetic but he's slept halfway up a ladder. Guess Oliver doesn't mind either. Sue

Geo, I had the same problem and managed to get past it by changing the game resolution (in the game setup) to the absolute lowest (I think it was 640 x Something) resolution. This allowed me to see the whole puzzle. I also lowered all of my options (shadows, anti-aliasing, etc.) just for good measure and to speedup lag time in response. After the puzzle is finished you can go back to the higher resolution if desired. Hope this helps. If you need the specific resolution reply and I'll go get it.
MaG, If you wouldn't mind, could you also please send me the same saved games (I am dexteriy challenged and don't have enough time earned to get enough wood into the fire to see the endgame)?
Thank you, pd
Love well and live as if tomorrow wasn't another day.

I would love to, pd BUT there are no saved available at the endgame. You have to go through the wood-furnace puzzle. My strategy were: - after getting the axe - get the wood as I turned to go to the furnace. - Place the take planks on furnace. - turn and get the nearest planks - place in furnace. - accumulate more seconds by clearing the wood around the furnace and then go to get the farther ones. If I can do it (I'm a mess on this type of puzzle) - you can do it. Took me ~6 tries.

Leeana,
The resolution fix will only help resolve a problem with viewing the whole puzzle (of one of the last three puzzles) for lowering the left side of the sloop. Some people can only see 6 of the 9 tiles of the right pattern where they don't know what color 3 of them are so they can't finish the puzzle. If this is what you need to do here is a step by step fix:
1. Pull up the menu and select "Options" 2. Go to resolution and select "1024 X 768" (my earlier message suggested 640 x ? which is going the wrong way...MY BAD - my dislexic brain goofed on that one. Sorry!) 3. For good measure (and because the higher resolution draws harder on your resources) I also shut down several options such as anti-aliasing, shadows, and lowered my graphics & texture to the lowest setting. This really helped some of the slow lag time problems. 4. Once the settings are set, hit the "accept" button. 5. Then hit the back button and then resume your game.
After you have completed this puzzle you can restore your prior settings and continue as before.
Hope this helps! pd
MaG, Thanks for the advice...I thought that each player would have earned extra time at the end based on how well and quickly they had played up to the end because my time is SO short at the end I can barely get back to the furnace with one load before I'm deemed a bad nephew (which I must say is a new one on me...now "bad" at anything else I'll grant them, but it'll take some "work" before I'm a nephew). I'm gonna give it another shot...hmm, I wonder if I leave the settings as is after my left sloop puzzle through the end & shut down my subtitles to boot if that might speed up my response time. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks! pd
Love well and live as if tomorrow wasn't another day.

Leana I played through a part from a save for someone--in order to get that save to show in my load screen, I had to create a temporary folder and move my other saves out, leaving just the one I wanted-- I don't know that will work, but it did for me--

Leeana the big Buddha by the red bridge doesn't turn around. You need to climb up on the bridge railing and get on the rope and hand over hand[using the rope] go to the big stone behind him. The button you need to push for this one is at the very top of the stone.
