So I just made Lamb a D-Linc and froze his funds. I spoke with him on the top floor and he asked me to feed his cat. When I go to his apartment, his door is already open and I can't get inside. What's worse is that when I try to go back upstairs, I get in the elevator and the game never takes me to the next screen. Sometimes Joey won't get in the elevator and he's still moving around in front of the elevator so I know the game isn't frozen. Am I screwed?

It does sound like somethings bugged out. Do you have any saves you could revert back to?

I can't help you but really? A bug in a game that is over 15 years old, that GOG is hosting for free is making you question buying other games on here?

GOG don't fix the games, they try to make sure they run on the latest systems but they can't go in and fix any bugs.

Why wouldn't I question that? I'm playing a DOS game on Windows XP; I shouldn't expect it to work at all, yet GOG provides it in a workable fashion. Of course I'm going to expect them to be responsible if I purchase a game through them and it becomes unplayable. I don't care if they do or don't fix bugs in the game, they would be selling me a game that I'm expecting to work on a machine they state as compatible. It doesn't matter if it's free; my first experience ended up in an unplayable game not even halfway through. What should I expect from this point forward?

If you don't have anything to offer but unreasonable criticism, don't bother posting. I'm looking for a solution here, and what you're saying is "So you downloaded a game, and it broke! Not their fault! Sorry! Hope you don't get screwed when you actually purchase something!".

Does anybody actually have a solution to this?

In all fairness, gog can't do much about the bugs that devellopers leave in any game, old, new, free or otherwise. No distributor can. Assuming there was enough time and money to throw at every bug in every game, which there isn't, they'd have to have acess to the source code and whatever tools were used to devellop the game, which almost never happens.

In any case, the solution i'm seeing it's trying to get your hands on a savegame roughly at that point and pick up from there since you don't want to start over.

You can try to look for a savegame in savegameserver.com or open a new thread here on the forum requesting a save. I'd be more than happy to provide you one of my own but unfortunately i don't have any saves for BASS at the moment.

Post a save, at the very least we can check if it's works for us.

I have encountered the same problem, had to reload a save and then it worked.

Couple of minutes later, I ran into another glitch...
SPOILER BELOW

Can't make Joey talk to the hologram receptionist, the option is not available... it just says "Never mind...".

I would post my save just after the tour, just not sure, how :) Can I attach it instead of the image?

Sure, just rename the file by changing the extension to .jpg. Folks downloading it it will have to rename the file back replacing the .jpg extension for the proper one.

Unresasonable criticism? I asked a question, I did not not stat an opinion, I did not mock you.

I was going to help you, I redownloaded the game and played through as much as I could last night before I turned in, to try and get to the point where you were and see what I could do to help.

But after that, no thanks.

Hi, I've managed to find the saves, hopefully they're the right ones :)

I had to rename them. The original names were:
SKY-VM.006
SKY-VM.007

The 006 should be right after the tour of the plant, i.e. before the bug with the door/elevator.
The 007 is just before I got stuck at the surgery clinic with Joey refusing to talk.

Hope this helps someone... :)

I'd appreciate if you tried my last save with the clinic if Joey "behaves". Thanks in advance!

"This savegame was created by BASS v0.0348. It cannot be loaded by v0.0372"

Huh... I'd suggest redownloading BASS ^^".

Whoa, thanks, Vestin. Stupid me. I'll try that... might just be the source of the problem :)

Did you manage to talk to Anita long enough to talk about the Schriebmann port? I was stuck here, as well, until I looked at the walkthrough.pdf included with the game. I was previously using another walkthrough that didn't mention this. If you didn't get Anita to tell you about the Shcriebmann port, then the Anchor guy won't talk to you about that, and the surgery won't tell you about that, either.
