legendary bug

[alrond]

I have run into a gamestopper bug near the end of the game. When I take the elevator after freeing Vivian I end up outside the play area and fall to my death if I move around. Reloading doesn't help.

[alrond]

Attached 2 screenshots of what I get after entering that elevator. Is there no support on this forum?

Hi there, that is a strange one it looks as if it's not loading the full area. It could be down to a bad install some times a re-install can solve it. Or it could be a ram issue.
I've only been playing this a day so don't know if this is how it will end for me, but it's been out long enough and so far your the first to find this issue. Well the first to mention it here.
What's the specs of the system your running this on.
Try a fresh install of gpu drivers, directx, if your o/cing your system dial it back a step.
Have you noticed anything else in any other games?

[alrond]

No problems with any other game, and no problems with Legendary before that, either. It is absolutely repruducable, happens every time. I have seen mention of the exact same problem elsewhere, so it's not just me.
Running Legendary at 1920x1200 on an Intel QuadCore with a GTX280 and 8GB of memory (Vista64 Home premium). Latest Nvidia drivers 180.48.
This is quite frustrating, almost finishing the game and then being unable to proceed.

As you say, youre falling out of the world........are you moving about on the elevator when it happens?:mefiant:

[fable2]

i have the exact same problem.
i guess we won't be seeing any fix for this really frustrating problem

Doesn't matter what I do in the elevator, it's a very brief ride. Tried standing still, crouching, moving to different corners, no joy. Seems the game moves you to an invalid location somewhere out of bounds. You take some damage instantly once you arrive in the bad spot, and die when you move there.

This seems to be a general issue with the pc version, i've seen a thread about it on the gamefaqs forum, and another elsewhere. *Everyone* playing Legendary on the pc seems to experience it. There just don't seem too many of us, after predominantly bad reviews, though I think the game was a lot better than those reviews made you expect. Just a pity the official support seems laegendary in its poornes: the official website doesn't even have a forum or contact information and Atari support never bothered to reply when I emailed them...

After several tries, i managed to pass this bug!
It´s easy to do!
Right before the bug happens heal(Button F) yourself with animus!
You only have to be not on full health and enough animus to heal yourself!
I tried it 5 times and it worked 5 times :chapeau:

Interesting, how did you think of trying that? Seems a tad... bizarre :p
Will have to try that as soon as I get my pc back from repair, hopefully before christmas and I hope they don't format it again, like that helps when your board is busted:eek2:

I was a little bit wounded right before, because i just runned through the enemys without shooting them and jumped into the elevator and hit the heal button!
The screen was a little bit blurry then, but i was not fallin down!
Hmm, i thouged it happens because the enemys left alive, so i tried it again, but without healing me and the bug happens again!
Then i tried it with killing everybody and healing me, but i healed me in front of the elevator and the Bug happens again :mefiant: :mefiant: :mefiant:
Then i got it! mdr1
Healing in the right moment does the trick :bravo:

Interesting find. If it works for others then brilliant and hopefully the devs will see this and realise what it is that's causing this. Hmm is it possible that during testing every tester healed themselves at the right moment and thus never experienced this bug? j/k

I think the Testers maybe played with God Mode on or something like this!
Maybe it won´t work for everybody!
It seems like a Graphic Problem, because i had a blurry screen in that moment! Maybe it´s only on Nvidia Hardware!
My card is a 8800GTS (640MB/G80)
I updated DirectX and Nvidia Drivers but the bug was still there!

I suspect they did very little testing on the pc version, probably just basic compatibility testing, and focused on the console version. They don't seem to have that showstopper bug.

I've tried and retried but for me the workaround doesn't work
:cry::mad::mad:madred:

I enter into the elevator with full animus energy and very low Health energy.

after the elevetor doors closed I start to heal myself but Nothing..... the bug appear again!

I use the Legendary Italian Version!

:noooo::noooo:

[eScenCe]

Same here!

No help for this one?

Hello,

theres another try for solution.
Because the problem seems to be connected with fps.
For me everything bigger then 60 fps drops me at the elevator.
So i tried the following:

Open the PandoraEngine.ini (on vista is on C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Legendary\PandoraGame\Config-Folder) and search for
"MaxSmoothedFrameRate=300" and change the value to 60. So the game runs at maximum 60 fps.

That worked for me and also for people at the german forum.
Hope that helps.

Sorry for my english!

Hey, I attached my Legendary Savegame
It's directly after the Elevator Bug!!!
Just replace the Player.LegendaryProfile as it's written in the Readme

Many thanks now I can finish the Game!!

Here's how I got around the elevator glitch.

1. Exit the game and open up "My Documents\My Games\Legendary\PandoraGame\Config\PandoraInput.in i" in notepad.

2. Find the following lines:
Bindings=(Name="PageDown",Command="dummy"
Bindings=(Name="PageUp",Command="dummy"

3. Because I couldn't find a way into the console, we're going to bind keys to a no-clip cheat code. On the Page Down line, change the word "dummy" to "Walk"; on the Page Up line, change "dummy" to "Ghost". Save the file.

4. Load the game, and go into the glitched out elevator. Before it starts to move, hit Page Up to enter no-clip flying mode. Look up, and fly up to follow the elevator as it flies away. Hit Page Down to disable flying,when you reach top and can see the guns on the ground, then proceed as normal.You should be able to see in the middle when you arrive on top the Pandora box as well as three beam generators which you have to destroy.It worked for me when nothing else helped

Casi al final del juego caeremos al subir a un ascensor y el mapa del juego se vera poligonal, raro. Para poder avanzar en le juego ir a esta direccion:

C:\Documents and Settings\(tu usuario)\Mis documentos\My Games\Legendary\PandoraGame\Config\PandoraEngine.i ni

Buscar esta linea: MaxSmoothedFrameRate=300
Cambiarla por esta otra: MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60

Arrancad el juego y jugad normalmente, cargaros a los malos que querais y como querais,despues yo lo q hice es tirarme unas granadas para quitarme vida y entrar al ascensor al tope de animus y casi nada de vida. Una vez en el ascensor mire al suelo quieto y m puse a recargarme de vida con el animus mientras el ascensor subia. FUNCIONO!

Ves un poco de la historia del juego, se salva la partida y si queremos salimos de juego, volvemos a poner lo que teniamos antes porque en el cambio de MaxSmoothedFrameRate=300 a MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60 perderemos un poco d calidad de graficos.

Ahora toca matar al malo malisimo... DURARA POCO!(ESPERO) :P

Un saludo a todos!

Hi All,
The only thing that worked for me was to set MaxSmoothedFrameRate to 30. Setting to 60 did not work. Pushing the "heal" button", binding keys to Ghost and Walk, and even the "SaveGame" which I downloaded did not work as it still loaded the game at the previous save prior to the lift problem. (Don't know why the key bindings did not work)

Anyway thanks to this forum I can now complete the game.

Poor show by Atari to not bring out a patch to fix this problem!

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad I found this thread. I changed the above setting to '30' and was able to continue, and finish the game.
