Bugs and Solutions

Feel free to add any of the known bugs in the game as well as any known solutions to them :)

Ladders (Prologue)

 * It is known that the game usually crashes when you come to the end of the ladders in the Prologue level. The solution I often use is to simply jump off the ladders before Jack hits the ground.

A Hanged Woman (A Visit to the Old Town 1)

 * Simply don't enter the room inside the Innsmouth Courier. There is nothing of importance in there.

A Box Blocking the Door (Attack of the Fishmen)

 * The game usually doesn't crash when you crouch to move the box. If it does, push it a tiny bit at a time by barely tapping the key to push. It takes a little longer but it avoids the crash.

Devil's Reef Bug/Lights of the Reef (Dangerous Voyage)

 * The best way is to install the Unofficial Patch and thus avoid many bugs throughout the game. In the Patch menu it is possible to skip the whole Reef lights sequence.
 * The second most used solution doesn't involve installing the Patch. Rather than that it is necessary to use the ship's cannon at the precise coordinates as to "trick" the game into thinking you were able to hit the priests on the Reef. The video explaining the process can be found on YouTube
 * The last solution I was able to find was to (at the very beginning of the level/before the Deep Ones' attack) go behind the bridge room, down the stairs, where some ammo is located. It is possible to "pass" through the walls using the lean button. Find the ladder in the engine room behind the wall. Coming close to the ladder will transport Jack into the engine room. This will severely mess up with this level and no sense can be made out of it. But it makes passable.
