At the end of the first chapter after I enter the gates the two characters walk up the path and then stand around in front of the castle forever. The game doesn't crash (it will try to save but say it can't save then, for example), but they just stand there forever. Escape does nothing, there's no mouse functionality/pointer there.

Any ideas?

I've seen bugs like that before playing the original game back in the day. Sometimes if you wait long enough it'll resolve itself, otherwise you may just have to backtrack to your last save.

I am getting *exactly* the same issue just right now! But two years later. With so many games to play if all you can do is painfully walk from one side of the street to the other wall and no other control works, you just let go the game, even if paid out. I hope this bubbles up.

RTK is decent OLD game, but I am stuck on Ch 1, trying to find that pirate or ?? that is supposed to be at the Parrot. The fight there destroyed the place, and repeated entering only get same old dialogue with a Sgt. AND after the FIRE, saved ALL the chillens, talked to everyone that would allow it, and YET can not find the Orphan or the guy that is holding the children hostages. After several DAYS of walking from zone to zone, got characters up to level nine but still in chat 1. Something is NOT triggering the next phase. WHAT say Ye?
