ANTALIFE: Oh man, started playing this game not so long ago, and have now come up to the well known Lucko bug. Have tried slowing my CPU by 80-99%, holding down the \ key while I change the grav walkway, and even waiting for the "you are too far away" message before changing levels at the grav walkway, but nothing. Really getting on my nerves ;-;
Hopefully more tries will solve this problem.
EDIT: Holy jesus, finally managed to do it. Read somewhere that you can get around this bug by failing the quest right after you loose him at the grav walkway, following which you go back to the start of the quest and redo it. Also while I was doing the quest for the 2nd time I had the \ key always pushed, so that might have helped somehow as well.
Join the club man! When I played this a few years ago I had no problem - even though I had a PC that was far too fast for the game, using the latest patches and "\" worked fine. Hopefully more tries will solve this problem.

Then only a month or so back I went back to play this on my current box, and for some reason it took SO BLOODY MANY tries before I managed to get this to work for some reason!
First it had him disappearing (with no other characters walking all over the place - so at least it's easy to tell you've hit the bug!). Then I kept screwing up as he got onto the elevator somehow.
Of course, once I had it working once I had to re-try it to figure out exactly what I had done to make it work, since I felt the need to be able to do this consistently... Which was probably more annoying and time-consuming than getting it to work the first time, since it can appear to be almost random - especially after dozens of runs!
