@DJL:
Many thanks.

I very much enjoyed OP5 and needed help in only a handful of places :)
At the end.. Was I _supposed_ to kill The Shepard ? and what was I supposed not to forget Maybe it was that?
ok, scratch all the that. After watching the solution video I realise what I was supposed to do. But actually it was unnecessary since it is trivial to get 2 boxes to the end also you can jump the gap without using the mine

I like the concept of having multiple sigils in a single puzzle with more areas and items unlocking at each stage and then having to reuse the stuff you already used. In a couple of place though, if you mess up you have to re-solve earlier parts which can be annoying. (And in the places where you've scripted stuff to avoid that, sometime the script can kick in prematurely, I think you actually highlighted that in the solution video in Egypt area).

Overall I rate it very highly :)

this map looks great :D

I think i accidently cheese puzzle 08 egypt thinking there a star and stack cube to reach the way out of the puzzle

Hi ma.hirsch can you help me with one thing in the editor pleeeease? 😥

Another great episode! I enjoyed this even more than the previous couple.


I had some problems with 'Medieval'. It seemed that when I would press X to restart inside of a castle, the game would restart, locked inside the castle, without all of the necessary jammers needed to solve the rest of the puzzle (or at least I could not figure it out). In many cases, I needed to restart from an earlier checkpoint to do the whole castle from the beginning. That is ok, but one castle had so many checkpoints that it seemed possible that the game could over-write all of the salvagable checkpoints, effectively ending the game. I made it through, but it might be helpful to consider a video that shows how to solve the puzzle if you need to restart at some point within the castle.

Anyway, thanks for making this terrific gameplay!

@AG:
If you have a new computer, then you should
make sure you have the latest updates and drivers
are installed.
The puzzle works fine for me.
I'm playing with the highest graphics settings.

@ma.hirsch: when I try an older version, it tends not to load. Gaming rig is only 6 months old. Sounds like only solution is to remove that puzzle from the map, which would be a shame as it is a doosie!!

@AG:
Try the old version.
Maybe you have an older computer?

@ma.hirsch: thanks for that. I suspect it might actually be the square that juts out from that wall under the recorder that is the problem. The bottom cube stops at it, then the 2nd cube keeps going. If there was a way to remove that square, the problem might be solved...just a thought

@AG:
I've noticed that too.
Unfortunately it is a technical problem.
I have no influence on that.

@ma.hirsch I tried to send the stacked cubes across with and without using the recorder. Cubes tumbled both times. Can't seem to make it work. I also noticed as I watched my recorded self move across on a cube to the recorder high up, that when the cube reached the wall, my recorded self kept moving until it reached the wall.

@AG:
First activate the recorder before you
stack the cubes off the fan, then it works.

Went back for seconds on this world. More enjoyable 2nd time around However, the cubes in Puzzle 08a (Egypt world) still don't stay stacked when they are being blown along the path. They tumble and fall when they hit a wall. Seems to be worse from what I remember. Anyway, it's completely stopped me from progressing.. any chance of this mechanic being fixed?

There seems to be a bug with Castle 04. I skipped one of the sigils and then completed the star. Now when I reset, I can't get back in because the helper robot doesn't come and place the jammers as he had be doing after previous resets . I will try restoring an earlier backup and doing all the sigils before doing the star.

I've used the backup and played the last one over. So no I'm on top with the cubes ;)

Hi,I've got a problem. I finished Egypt 3b, went up and did the next puzzle up there. After finishing I had to refresh but now I'm down and everything is on top of the wall and some cubes in Puzzle 3b but they are also to high to get to. Refreshing does not help so what can I do to get back up there to fetch everything. I have 1 cube from 1b but it is not enough to get back up. Can someone help me please? thanks :)

Yeah I've finished the last puzzle but a couple of attempts made me . but I'm that I found a solution without hurting Shepherd. . Thanks for another great game @ma.hirsch.

Ok.

@ma.hirsch Good news, a new game solved the problem. I'm finally in medieval world.

@ma.hirsch yep, I definitely misunderstood you as I don't know what the movable version is or how I get there, i only see the old and new versions. I did unsubscribe from all games apart from your other OP games. Anyway I have a thing to learn for work now so I'll replay after that with fingers crossed it works for me than.

@Iir7:
You probably misunderstood me.
I didn't mean the new or old version of the game.
You only need to install the old version of the game
if you have a old pc.
If you have a newer PC, you can leave the new version on.

Both versions have two modes. The modable and the normal one.
In the case of the modable, no other map may also be loaded
because it is can disturb each other. This then leads to
strange behavior of the game, or crash.

@ma.hirsch Thank you for looking again but there is something wrong with my account. I can't see what version I'm on but I presume the updates you make should hit everyone at once. I've done what you suggested, updated Steam, turned it off and on again but it still isn't right. I don't know what you mean by normal version. I'm playing the new version. Maybe I'll come back later as I love your games and recommend them every chance I can, but I can't bear the thought of replaying Egypt 5 and 8 in particular right now.

OK. I tested again. Everything is going perfectly.
If you're playing the modable version, then you should
unsubscribe all other maps.
Especially those from Presho! I just had the modable version
a crash!
I recommend playing the normal version. That doesn't happen there.

@Iir7; @dogdu:
That's not correct, of course, but it's not the case for me.
I'll probably have to do a few more tests to see
what it is.

Giving up. After reverting to 3 and 4 backups ago, still broken. Yet another player with broken progression.

@ma.hirsch I just noticed a video for lobby 3 and I'm also missing the box on the top of the hill

@ma.hirsch Can I confirm these are correct please?

@Iir7:
Strange!
I've already had a lot of tests.
At everything works.
The order in which you collect the sigils is also
unimportant. The main thing is that you have them all in the end.

I am soooo glad to finally be out of egypt. 08b in particular was such a pain taking so long (20-25) mins to set up. After that length of time a silly mistake or being caught out was so depressing to reset. Like many others I have all sigils and stars, apparently, but there is no new star in the lobby. I even used the walkie talkie and looked at the smiley face from the video. I have 8 stars like the video so it seems I have done everything. Stuck! :0(

@ma.hirsch Yes it does, thank you.

Uploaded a new update.
Now everything should work properly.
Hopefully!

I'll check again. Maybe I can still find one or the other error.

@ma.hirsch Thanks for the videos but there is one move that I can't do. in Egypt you can jump from a box at the top of the stairs to puzzle 7 to the roof behind you and go outside but I don't get a space jump when I point my cursor at the first roof. You don't get foot prints but you get a message on screen that you can jump. I've tried standing on two boxes but still can't jump over.

Map is still broken. Just because I didn't solve as intended I guess doesn't mean it didn't break.

Thanks ma.hirsch
Interesting to see the intended solution for end puzzle. I did it without the bot at the end. but used all cubes and jammer.

The solutions are now available on YouTube.
You can find the link to it in the description above.

I think it's about time I made some videos
produce. The puzzles can all be solved logically.
This map is not broken.
I've tested umpteen times.

Don't get stuck in Egypt hell.. that's where my journey ended. Map is broken.

Hi I need a bit of help for the Ascension "like" puzzle . I'm always brought back to a "next try" ! super hard this time

@ma.hirsch Aha, thanks. Got them all.

@Iir7:
Yes, you can take some things away from this puzzle.
Puzzle a+b tells you that there are two sigils to collect.

Egypt 03b - am I supposed to get stuff out of here? The fact that it is 'b' tells me there is something else to do but I can't see anything apart from getting some stuff out, eg. a jammer to use in the central sphinx plaza side bits.

HiHi, I started on the big big rock. At least I had a nice view over the landscape.

@Swissorion Thank you, I was on the wrong rock to start with!

@lir7, regarding lobby starting puzzle
connect to the blue receiver behind the plasma wall, which will be opened later, to keep this path open. The rest you do with the recorder and doubled connector, you can put it on the tree trunk inside to connect to the blue connector on on the rock

@Iir7:
Use the recorder

I haven't been online for a bit so missed the Christmas present of OP5 (thank you again @ma.hirsch) but was really pleased to bump into it yesterday. However, I'm stuck in the lobby! The hint to put the connector on the rock doesn't help as I can't see a way to get the furthest blue connection with less than 3 connectors. Any more hints?

thanks, restarted Sanctuary where I left a year ago. I had to stop as I had no clue how to proceed. Now with much more experience collected with OP5, I'm able to solve Sanctuary one puzzle after the other. They are still somehow hard, but after several trials i find the solution. And yes the Ransoms are fine as well.

@RolandsSh I agree with your recommendations, certainly those are all fine campaigns. (I just replayed Ranamo 2 again recently because it's awesome.) But as far as frustration goes, you can't tell me that Schrodingers Cat, Outfall, or even The Flood don't have some rage-inducing levels. 😋
