Bugs: Southern Mexico - The Midgard Serpent

i just got to the bit fussel was originally talking about. you can get across the first log ramp with the bike, but then there is one that is "down" and you cant cross it.

eventually, i figured it out. here's a vid [Warning: vid is spoiler!]

BTW, i never did throw the switch up at the top, the one with more missing heads. did i miss a head, or is it one of these newfangled; to be done on the return pass tricks this game is throwing (like the krakan/octopus high up thing?)

opps, my posts gone mad. i accidently posted some corrupt messages. can someone delete them, i cant find a delete? thanks.

Thanks for your input, but fussel actually ran into a bug. The first ramp was down, there was no way to cross it, to even reach the part shown in the video.

am newbie to the PS3 thing, but I know with Lara...

I have the same bug with the ramp ... is there anything to fix it? if not then how can I transfer the saved to the PS3?

cheers

PS3 savegame:

Unpack on PC, copy onto usb stick or memory stick or whatever works for you and your ps3 into the folder strucute "PS3" -> "SAVEDATA" and load via the savegame management on the PS3, "copy", start game and load it.

There is now an official explanation for the cause of this bug on the Eidos web site:

Quote

Upon entering the area before the Calendar puzzles the player drives through an underground tunnel. Turning Left at the fork in the trail (turning right would take you to the first calendar puzzle building which you can see at this junction) and continuing on to the first spike pit which activates a checkpoint. If you die before activating another checkpoint (usually in this same spike pit as mentioned), when you reach the Midgard Serpent level the first ramp to jump the pit will be down and you will not be able to continue.

i cant get past the first ramp either as it is down,

i tried using the tombraidergirl save file

PS3 savegame:
http://www.tombraidergirl.net/saves/tr8/…erpent-bug1.rar

but it wont let me use it and says it belongs to another user

see attached video

The save games were made with the unpatched version of the game. If you are playing the pre patched version (the Trilogy), you are screwed: Go back to the beginning of the level or the level before that and try again. Sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn't. There were some things you have to avoid before getting to the ramp, but I forgot, it was a long time ago I played Underworld. (See postings above yours.)

Else (you are playing the original version), try uninstalling the patch, start the game, DO NOT REINSTALL the patch, load the save game, see if it works, save to a different slot, exit the game, restart the game, NOW reinstall the patch, load the new save game and hopefully it might work!

thankyou thankyou thankyou,

i deleted the game data file from the game data utility folder,
then started the game and when prompted to install the update i pressed cancel,
i was then able to load and use the save file supplied by tombraidergirl,
http://www.tombraidergirl.net/…/%E2%80%A6erpent-bug1.rar

then i saved my position to a new file,
then i quit the game,
then i restarted the game,
than i reinstalled the update,
i am now across the ramp and can continue the game,
thankyou again for the instructions and the save file,
