I hear the window between patterns, but attempt is unsuccessful. So locks that should require X attempts require more. As in X+random amount more. I have repeated up to 90, but mostly I give up when it gets into the 60's. The amount seems to be different each time through the game. So frustrating! Is there a debug version I could run that might shed light on why I get this problem? Maybe I should uninstall all the Visual C++ stuff as well as visual studio stuff (use to dabble in programming - but gave it all up) I have versions from 2005 to current. Will let you know...

What I mean by random is that every time I restarted the mission, the locks would take a different number of attempts before unlocking. I had assumed it would be a constant multiple of the intended number. BTW enabling multiple cores had no effect. Nor did disabling The avast antivirus. Nothing other than normal Windows system stuff running in background. I know my system is not the latest/greatest, but neither is it out of the ordinary. But it sounds like you are telling me that I am the only one to have this problem.

This was started by me. Now that my login issue has been resolved (ahem). Yes, I know how to pick locks. Have played ALL the missions (besides two newest) multiple times. Attempting to troubleshoot... I have even created a new directory on a different drive, RE-downloaded the 2.06 and run the training mission. Result was on the first door, first time running it, door one opened after two picks. Second door took 13 and 60 attempts for the two picks. Restarted, twice, but every attempt after the first one, the first door took over 30 attempts to open. Then also went completely out of TDM and even uninstalled/installed mission and still it took way to many attempts to get the first door open - so didn't move on from there. All games are now unplayable unless I hack the map file and unlock every locked item. Setting them to 1 tumbler and one pick (T or S). Still gets random # of picks. Wish I could roll back to 2.05 (HINT HINT HINT). Guess I will just go back to playing Diablo,Yuri's Revenge, etc. I don't understand how this wasn't noticed in beta. (HUMANS! - Am I right?) In case it maters; Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 i5 2500k (No overclocking on anything) Intel Core i5 3.30 Ghz 8GB RAM Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Ver 1709 Build 16299.579 Don't see how it would matter, but; Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Driver 388.13

When zooming in he orthogonal window, how about zooming centered on mouse position instead of window center? I constantly have to keep tweaking position by dragging this way or that just to get to the actual spot where I want to "see" closer.
