Bergante's hint about crashes would fit in my case, as I am usually doing a lot of quick saving. Linux Mint, by the way. About the stuck rats, well I guess it have been 6-7 in the whole scenery, it could be a faulty rat model at all. I've never seen that in any mission as long as rats stay at the ground. It seems to happen when they jump around, Another thing: I played it yesterday eve again in medium difficulty, and again 2 persons at the inn were stuck like in my first run. The guy in room no.4 is walking permanently against his desk, and the girl at the staircase.

Awesome, marvelous! Many thanks for this great mission! (...with a touch of Kafka ) I just played the easy mode but got in the end only one third of the whole loot - found no secrets. Surley there is plenty more to discover the next time. Me too, like I.C.H.I., had to two sudden crashes, and yes me too I found the sound of wind a bit to loud in the long run. What I noticed also were the strange positions of several rats...

Your're right. Installed TDM anew and everything's fine with Lieutenant 4. Sorry for the whirl!

Did so. Deleted the folder, erased it out of missions.tdminfo, reinstalled it. It's the same just right from the start, but didn't recognize it because I wasn't using the torch. Outside floors look absolutly normal. Strange question: I installed 2 weeks ago beta version 2 of "Last Night in Stonemarket" where there was some trouble with lighting issues. I had never such kind of in any regulary installed mission before with this actual version of TDM. Is there any possibility that a beta mission or maybe an very old mission I tried some time before "changes" or "damages" anything in the TDM setup? Sounds like a nutty idea... I guess I have to delete the whole TDM and reinstall it.

Concratulations from me also! It looks great! Now last I entered the house of Mrs. Hyde where I found an issue at the staircase. First I recognized a strange light spot on the upper floor which shouldn't be there and after that I saw the staircase's texture and that of the whole house's floors have gone - execept the carpet. Just black and this light. 1.jpg with lit torch, 2.jpg without By the way: the characters of the map could have been a bit less tiny...

Thanks a lot, Bikerdude, for this new and all of your other missions before! My very first impression of A Winter's Tale: the radio of background sound is far to high, had to reduce volume to stand it and by this I can hear hear the ordinary sound/speech nearly no more. There really seems to be something foul on the technical side of this mission, normally by pressing the ESC-key the menue immediatly appears but here it takes 10-20 times longer. Also during play it feel as if something slows down, something doesn't run properly.

That did the trick!

On my Linux PC there were visual issues.

I think this spider has to much reach for movement. When played this mission first coming up from the historians room it was direct beneath me. (I am no friend of TDM-spiders anyway) Played today the last version of The Imperial Sword to see if there's something new, I shot the spider when it unfortunately was underneath the window. After quick save I found out that the window can't be open because of the dead spider stuck to it. Game Over

Sorry for creating chaos here, I wanted to edit my first post which was related to TheUnbeholden's question and delete the second. But as it seems own posts can't be deleted?

No, snails have been in serveral missions but the plaque idea was new.

Me too. Fortunately this mission can be finished without. But I'm also puzzled by ... Nevertheless, wonderfull mission with lovely scenery, thank you very much, Bikerdude! (and to all the other guys who created it)
