Re: Can not complete the floor tile puzzle in the temple of Mythal

No one says you're lying.  You're simply not doing the puzzle(s) correctly.  If you were... things would work, (as millions of other players can attest.)

As noted previously by those trying to help, ONLY the controlled character can activate the tiles, so neither Morrigan nor your companions have any effect unless you select one of them (by accident, presumably, which was what was going on for another player who thought there was a bug.)  Switching to the tac-cam could conceivably cause the selected character to "hop" somewhere unexpectedly, but you don't indicate you're doing that.

And as also noted previously, submitting a video clip of the event would aid tremendously in figuring out the issue.

    As i stated before, i did this puzzle before, possibly on lower gfx settings. You presume i am an idiot and i can't do the puzzle again knowing the solution because you can not concieve a bug exists FOR OTHERS and it is insulting.

    If you have nothing constructive PLEASE, DO NOT REPLY.

  • If you cannot use one of the freely available game-play recorders to capture and post evidence of what you're doing, then you can't expect anyone to believe that you're having a problem that not one-in-a-million others have encountered.  (And if you have an nVidia, card there's such a program already built-in to their game customization utility, "GeForce Experience".)

    Kindly read the damn thread. 18 people have this problem too and I will not prove to your little person I have a bug in a bug forum.

    You test my patience sir.
  • And none of the 18 (including you) has submitted any evidence that they aren't simply messing-up when walking the tiles.

    For a quick review of one successful run through the puzzles, see here.  

    You can download the file containing videos for all four, or select whichever individual one is causing you problems.

    You just don't shut up do you?

    You completely derailed this thread about you and non constructive speculation.

    I am done talking to you. You sir are dumb. A lot.
  • Howdy, I'm having the exact same problem on the same puzzle. I've tried walking slowly, speed running it, doing the puzzle in a different order... Nothing works. I got through the other ones just fine. It's reset itself after I step on the very first tile, so I'm pretty sure there's no way I've done something wrong. It's definitely a glitch. I'm going to try resetting the game and see if that works.

    EDIT: FOUND A SOLUTION:
    Switch the camera to tactical mode and move from tile to tile that way. You have to exit tactical a few times:
    When you move from the tiles to the lever area and vice versa
    And
    When you move between the tiles that used to have the gate between them.

    It worked for me, found the answer on a different forum. I hope this helps!
  • @Madfang10;  You haven't started talking.  You've made one complaint, you've refused to provide any additional information (such as a video) on the problem which might enable someone to help you, and you've refused to consider the most likely explanation for the issue.  When you decide you participate, instead of pissing about, we'll be here.

    (BTW...  You: a total of 8 posts, 7 of them in this topic.  Me: over 3000 Posts, over 900 XP received, over 400 Solutions.  Who's the dumb one?)

    Mythal Puzzle bug

    Just for you.

    I believe you owe everyone an apology for insulting their inteligence.

    EDIT: Fixed the videos, they would not show unless logged on google.

  • lower graphics

    As it turns out this thread got an answer before i posted in it. Your very vocal non constructiveness distracted me and i missed it.

    This bug may be persent on machines closer to the minimum requirements and on higher settings. As you may see, lowering the graphic settings let me complete the puzzle.

    So thanks for nothing mister "i have a posting history and you don't". Turns out you were wrong and your help was not needed. Your posting history does not prevent you from acting like a child.

  • Your failure to provide any additional information that could help diagnose your problem makes neither you right, nor anyone else wrong.

    It simply means that you wasted a week complaining when you could have been playing. 

    (And that post you referred to?  It would be the one right before your first.  Guess it was expecting too much to think you had actually read the topic and tried the solutions that worked for others before you posted.)

    You were so stubborn in requesting this information that you did not offer any alternatives to your diagnostic which was: "you don't have a bug and you're bad because i don't have the bug", even though there was 3 pages of people discussing CONSTRUCTIVELY this bug and 18 people with the same bug. None of these people and none of the other people in this forum request proof of a bug before offering solutions. Most people do not toss *rap when they do not have an answer. Hosting a video and producing one is a complex procedure and not all people can do it.

    You were so very certain of your diagnostic over 1 page and it missed the target. And i would like to point out you missed the post until i specificaly pointed it out and i already replied to that post in the thread history.

    This may not make me right, but you sir, most certainly were not.

    Now, kindly reply CONSTRUCTIVELY to a thread with an answer, or move on.

    EDIT: You have been:

    -Trolling

    -Baiting

    -Flaming

    -Harassing

    -Non Constructive

    -Insulting

    So all these people are doing it wrong, repeatedly, for hours? Wrong. There is clearly an issue. Instead of stalwartly sticking to your position, which is obviously inaccurate, you might try listening and being helpful, instead of just being a stubborn *.

    The sheer number of times we're having to do it strongly indicates that this is not the problem.

    @creash1981 Not sure who/what all those posts were aimed at, but I take you're having the issue discussed in this thread. 
    Have you tried lowering your graphics settings and closing any unnecessary programs (including any overlay programs)? If that doesn't help, could you provide a dxdiag? You can find instructions on how to generate one in the spoilered section of this sticky. Is there anything else you've tried?

    Also, please keep in mind these are peer to peer support forums, most people here are volunteers, not EA employees, and give their own time to try to help people.
