Secret Rooms

[Nyx]

Here are the tokens - On the right as I jump into the falls.................

Only room #22 eludes me, the first one in the sewers. There's one spot where our heroes have to jump onto a small islet (in the room with a short wooden bridge that goes nowhere, beside a wall plaque). If they jump forward again, they go through a doorway and continue their journey. However, there's a square in the NW corner of the room that shows the jump symbol. The symbol is also in the middle of their little islet, which would seem to indicate that they can jump from the islet to the corner square. When I try to do that, though, the game freezes - every time. I have to exit the game and load a saved version if I want to play again. Since I can't make the jump, and I can't find room #22, I was wondering if there's a connection...

Can you post a screenshot of it freezing? Maybe that would help me figuring out what's going on.

[nancyred]

I would, but I don't know how to post one.

[Indinera]

you can send the screenshot to me directly:

Okay, I just sent an email with attachment. Hope it came through okay.

My copy freezes in that same spot also every once in awhile so I've settled on saving just before jumping to that spot or I've taken everyone out of party except for Marine & it works to get by that spot.

[Indinera]

can you send me a savefile just before it freezing?

[nancyred]

I tried taking everyone but Marine out of the active party, but it still doesn't work.
I guess I'll never find that last secret room, then.

[Indinera]

What you can do is save JUST before the "fatal" jump, and send me that.
I'll see if I can replicate the bug.

I just found 3 for now. I hope to find more secret rooms.

I killed the Ju-Ju and didn't go further for now, I'm training characters, Jack and Salome have so few attack, they'e bare hands level 3. (I didn't do double-promotion), hope it will improve!

Hi Indi.

Can you please tell me if this issue of "freezing" has been resolved? I am ashamed to say I have owned M4 for a loong time but have only just gotten around to playing it through in anticipation of M5 and I am having the same problem. I can jump to the island and continue straight out through the opening, but if I try to jump towards the left where I believe there is a secret room, the game freezes and I have to manually shut it down.

I am happy to ignore the secret room and continue on regardless, but I wondered if there was an easy "fix". Today I uninstalled the game and then re-installed it from your site in case there was a new build, but it still happens.

By the way, although this is my first posting on the forum, I have been a long-time background lurker, reading other posts and getting loads of help from the regulars. I love your games and hope you know how much your hard work is appreciated. Happy New Year! (Well, I'm a tiny bit early, but we're nearly there.)

[Indinera]

Thank you very much for your nice words.
The best way for me to fix the glitch is to receive a savefile from you just before getting the glitch (ie one step before)

[katz]

I have sent you a savefile, Indi. Thanks.

[Indinera]

I remember now. The jump to the left.
Well there is no secret room in that area.

Also it works fine on my version but maybe this version is not online yet. Once the holidays season is over I'll update both MM3 and 4 with the versions on my computer.
