I would first like to say that I really enjoy playing this game. The atmosphere is amazing, and I haven't played a game that made me so enjoy flying in a long time.

That being said, I ran into a few problems while playing this, so I just wanted to ask if anyone could come up with hints / possible solutions to this.

1.) This is the biggest one, and the place where I am stuck. I am in a level with all the Lynxes and Daws and Buzzards and that one really deep lake where you sink to the bottom, and then rise up to grab a rune. To get out, you have to do the same thing.

...However, there is only one stone on the inside, and I am sad to say that when I tried to do it to get out, I screwed up and had to let go of the stone. And so I am stuck in the tiny alcove without a way out.

I did try to quit the game without saving, but unfortunately the game seemed to have Autosaved, so when I started the game up again, I was back in the little cave.

Does anyone know of a way for me to get out of where I'm stuck without restarting the game and starting a new file?

2.) I understand this question has probably been addressed many times... I first want to say that when I had first started up Raetikon, the screen had been all black, and the fix (setting the graphics to Low) worked, so I can see the game. However, I also wish to play Windowed. When I select that option, the game still works, but instead of shrinking into a window, it instead plays ... as usual, except my taskbar is superimposed over it. Either it did turn into a window but is too huge to display the edges, or it suddenly became my desktop background. Any way to fix this?

(I am not particularly bothered by this problem, but just wanted to put it out there.)

3.) Likewise, this is more of a bug reporting than an actual question. In one of the levels I had accidentally gotten the bird stuck under a rock (a long one that was made up of multiple polygons; this was on the forest floor, where you most likely meet the lynx for the first time), and when I tried to climb out, I somehow managed to get the bird stuck under the rock. I couldn't get out at all by flying downwards since the rock was lying over some water, and I couldn't fly upwards since the rock was too heavy.

After much flapping, I managed to get the bird pointed upwards ... but then, it turns out I had apparently gotten the bird stuck between the polygons in the rock(?), and the bird wasn't turning around when I tried to change directions. I could, however, flap and move the bird along with the rock as though they were one model. I eventually got out when the bird started bleeding from being bitten too many times by the Lynx (probably because of the bleeding animation?).

4.) Not sure if it's just me, but the flapping doesn't seem to be very responsive? Generally, when I press Space, I expect a flap (maybe not to fly a great distance, but at least a flap); however, this maybe happens 85-90% of the time. I was wondering if this was purposefully programmed in, or if anyone else was having this trouble, or if it's just my keyboard...

...Ahem. Anyways, great game so far! I hope I don't have to start from the beginning, but I'll keep trying to play through even if I do.
