Hello!

I'm playing through Alone in the Dark 3, and I've come across quite the problem. After solving the puzzle on top of the jail that requires the sheriff's badge and the whip, I can't progress any further due to some weird clipping issues that are taking place. Basically, I have to walk to the edge of an overhang, and Edward is supposed to jump through a window and into the saloon. Instead, Edward just continues to walk into the background, and will eventually get stuck if you don't turn around. This also occurs at the statue where the Eagle Shaped Nugget is located.

I've already tried starting my game over, and I get the same results. Any suggestions?

You must run I think.

I got the exact same problem. Has anybody got a solution ?

Got stuck there as well. I tried all the usual suspects, changed the cpu type, core, lowered and raised the cpu cycles, et cetera. Eventually I got desperate and tried fiddling with the ouputs (not that it ought to make any difference), the sound, you name it. All to no avail, and google / the dosbox forum didn't have any pertinent information either. Eventually gave up and located a "let's play" run of the game on youtube. Shame, was enjoying the third a lot more than the second, but it was still a far cry away from the excellence that was AITD1.

Hi all,

I had this glitch yesterday, then today after work, I started a new game and the plank glitch didn't happened to me this time, but I did something different between the 2 games.

At the beginning of the game, you get a red token from a bottle that you must break and in the first game, I didn't used on the piano in the saloon (on the right side from the entrance). Using the token on the piano will play a small movie and you will get the oil lamp too.

I got the oil lamp anyway somehow when I went down the trapdoor. However, the plank glitch happened to me later on the first game.

On the second game (today), I used the token on the piano, watched the small movie and got the oil lamp that way. At the jump the plank part, Edward jumped from it without any issues.

Before the second game, I also installed the french version of AITD3 (from CD) with DOSBox v0.74-3 (latest version) and I did the above steps (token on piano, watched the movie and got the lamp) and the jump was fine too with that version too.

So if you got the glitch, try these steps on a new save (just for the test) and let me know if it worked for you. It worked for me.
