I´m in chapter 2, in the new mine, and Ian asked me to recover a cogwheel to repair a machine. Thing is that once I recover the cogwheel, I find myself in a pit with two buggy ladders to exit from it, and once I reach the top of the ladders I always fall.
The places where the character grabs the steps of the ladder are wrong (different from the image of the ladder), and reaches the top of it before reaching the real top, and without any real ground bellow its feets, the character falls.
I´ve uploaded a savegame to the following adress:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7AEZ9FZO
The character is standing just in front of the buggy ladders.

There´re a number of ladders all over the world where this happens, but this is the first time that happened with a ladder that must be climbed.

I´m desperate, I´ve even downloaded & installed the game again to no result.
I play in an unmodified GOG version.

Thanks in advance!

There are some suggestions in this thread
Ugh, I forgot about that part. It's a sort of geometry bug that happens in several part of Gothic, but it's possible to get through it most of the time, by jumping ahead before you start falling.

Quick solution: don't use the ladders and just climb up. There's a small spot between them where it's possible to do so. Just place yourself near the wall and look around holding the right mouse button, once the camera shifts position, you'll know you have found it. Keep holding RMB+forward until you have climbed and jumped once, you should end in a safe spot.

Alternatively, use one of the ladders (the left one is easier) but don't go all the way up. Just a moment before reaching the end jump ahead and relase the use button.
You're lucky, i playing Gothic so i can solve it for you - here is the altered save:

The trick was that you have to go backward, climb up to the plank/wooden floors and from there you can jump to the tunnel which is top of the ladders.
I did this and at the moment you in the tunnel, ready to go to Ian.
Oh, EDIT: don't forget to rename the folder - you can call it the original name, too, but in that case make a safety cope of the original - i don't want to mess up your game, but it can happen sometimes.

Thank you everyone, specially to Sydius.
I was stunned with the quick answer.
