Rotating Room Not Rotating
Hi! Back at it again (well, it IS a great game and worth replaying!!!) but with a new problem. I'm in the sunken city, (Collasium) and all is going well until I reach the rotating room, which now does not rotate. Used the glow-stones again and again, but no good. I've actually replayed this quest from the start several time, but it always stops there. No idea what's happening.
Using WinXP, SP3, nothing unusual about this computer, it's fairly old but it works. Can't remember what else you need, but I doubt if it's my system since all other parts of the game work just fine. PS: Hello Wyvern! Happy New Year! |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Have you *finished* the game on your current computer? Presumably W&W is Windows 98, there might be need for a Compatibility Wizard, (right-click the W&W program when in Windows Explorer).
Try taking all Glowstones out of the keyholes. Put them in and take them out. Look for levers too. I forget how this works exactly... I can take a look at it soon. |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Hi Shadow. I'm playing in WinXP with compatibility set at Win98. Not sure what you mean by "finished" the game. This game is not finished since I can't continue past that point in the second-to-last quest. I've finished the game several other times, but not this time. Yes, I've removed and reinserted the glowstones many times, to no avail. Even started the quest over from scratch several time. Same results. Looked for levers; none to be found. At the moment I'm thinking of re-installing the game, but also hoping there is an easier way.

Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
There is a thread about your problem, go back to 1/1/2010.
|
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
OK Shadow, I'll try that, -IF - you'll tell me how to get to that date. Looked around, don't see a way to find anything by date. Thanks!

Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
I added a post to that topic to move it up to today, it is the "colaseum round room not turning" topic.
Generally, look in the lower left corner of the main W&W page. You will see "Display Options" "Showing threads # to # of #" "Sorted By" "Sort Order" "From The" "Show Threads" Now, using the dropdown arrow to the right of "From The", choose "Beginning". Then click on "Show Threads" to actually make the topics appear. |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Ok Shadow, I've tried everything in those posts and nothing works. I've gone back to the point where I jumped in the water and swam down to the entrance, entered, and went through the whole drill again (3 times!!!) - same problem. Next I'll try going back to where I got in the boat to search for the city. If that fails, I think I'll reinstall the game. Thanks anyway!

Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Wow!! Actual activity on the forums!! That's super!!!
Sorry that you're experiencing problems, Uncle Joe!! That rotating room causes problems in the past too. Hope reinstalling the game will manage to get it unstuck for you!! Wyv =^..^= |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Well, starting over at the point where I found the boat and began my search for the underwater city did not help. Reinstalling seems to be the only option left but I'm reluctant to begin that process. Maybe later. Meanwhile, thanks to all for the help.

Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
If you want, you can Attach your save file to your post and I can have a look at it...

Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Here's a VERY belated follow-up to the problem I talked about. Tried all of the stuff mentioned and nothing worked. Saved the Saved Files then deleted the game and reinstalled and.... same problem. I gave up. Shortly after that had to replace the entire computer. Sorry about that. Reinstalled on the new computer (Win7) and game seems to run fine but some places in town won't open, including the "back" gate to the graveyard.
But that's another post. Thanks to all for advice and help. |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Can't enter some buildings in town, that is a problem with Avi files, easy to fix with VirtualDub:
Go to "Tech Tips (game not working? Read this!)", it is a Sticky topic. On the first page, look for "6.1) Can´t enter buildings in town or exit through the gates", this should be the solution you need. |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Glad you knew that, Shadow, I wouldn't have remembered at this point!
It's been so long since I've played this game (or had time to)! :) Thanks for the follow up, Uncle Joe, and congrats (I guess) on the new computer!! I'm about to get a computer upgrade myself and I'm a little nervous about the transition from one machine to another. |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
In the "Tech Tips (game not working? Read this!)" topic, the post you want is:

Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
Thanks to Reset Adventures I can take a high level party through Collasium.
Also thanks to John Hubbard's Wizardry & Wizards and Warriors Site, it has a high level save game that I could download and Reset. |
Re: Rotating Room Not Rotating
hi mate, i had the same problem, my fix was,... open a characters inventory, while facing the door, equip and unequip an item and you should be able to watch the door turn in the viewer top right corner, just keep equiping untill it is open, if its slow on one character try another.
hope that helps |
