Things have become pretty nasty in this mission, there´s a guy in the auction display room in panic, so i left him for a while in the hope he would calm down and explored other areas, when returning to the auction display room i still find the guy in panic, so i snuk upon him and made a grab, stole his key, however i can´t blackjack him, and everytime i go to the display coffins he sees me and the mission fails, is there a way to make him go away? or do i have to restart the mission? i don´t want to replay this mission after all the work i had to progress in this mission :nono:... Also anyone knows the buttons sequence in the lecture room? in this room i jump to the chandliers with candles, guess what happened the chandliers? they fell to the ground but the candle flames remain in air :), in the basement while grabing a cup from one of the safe rooms the game crashed :p...I´m not enjoying much the gameplay of this mission, it lacks action, and since i´m playing on easy mode i feel that the challenge is unfair for this difficult mode, i´m tired of wlaking slowly and crouching and being constantly in the shadows with the fear that if i get caught the mission fails and i have to load a previous save, i really miss some arrows and mines to make the gameplay spicy and easier for me :(

I'm stuck at the point where the ceremonial of blessing the holy symbol should take place.
I have all the requested items: the holy symbol, an unused candle, the skull of Yoris. All works fine till the point where I should take the symbol again and tap it into the holy water fountain. The symbol shines silvery periodically - but I can't frob it anymore.
Am I misunderstanding something here?
Please, help me.

greetings, urumo



by the way: a similar frobbing-problem happened in the pagan potion-mage's room upstairs. He came in, I saw the blinking key on his belt - and I could not frob that key, regardless of the distance I had to the AI (and approach him to closely - was deadly for me). I had to try again and again, and eventually - after I BJ'd him - I finally found that key on the floor and was able to pick it up.

Sounds like the same problem I was having when I first started testing my Missions in GL.
First off, the "Fixed" version already contains the Shaders.rar pack which should be in the Rising.zip\System\Shaders folder.

The problem I think you are having was completely resolved for me when I un-installed TDS from my system and re-installed it. However, that is a bit drastic and I did manage to solve the problem another way.

In the root of the Rising.zip folder is a file called user_patch.ini. In that (text) file are two sections entitled [Flesh]. The second one is the default settings.
Copy and paste the first '[flesh]' section into the user.ini file located in the root folder of your TDS install. You will need to remove the original '[flesh]' section from your user.ini.

Hope at least one of these solutions work for you.
