Anybody here play jade empire?

[Stoneburner]

I'm at a section where an exit is being blocked by two guards. I can't move past the guards though, nor will they move, nor will they attack. They just stand there. I tried reloading from before I entered this particular section and received the same result.

Then I went online to find a patch and I found nothing.

What's the story with this game? Is this a unique error or is the game a buggy unsupported piece of crap?

Played through once, didn't get hit by any game-stopping bugs.

Same here. No game-stopping bugs encountered. What chapter are you in? It's been too long since I played it for me to remember the spot you're talking about just by that description alone.

Same, just minor glitches.

There are no patches for it. It does have support through 2K Games.

It only has a few non-major bugs, most of the complaints are listed here.

If you are able to reproduce it, I am (almost) confident that 2K games will receive the bug report so long as you provide instructions on how to reproduce it.

FWIW, it is a good game, but nothing compared to Bioware's older titles like Baldur's Gate 2.

Apparently other people have the same problem. From the link you provided Schaden

Hi, I'd like to add the "NPCs blocking me in Kang's lab" as a known issue - there are three posts on this forum regarding the two guards that don't activate as enemies and just stand there blocking the exit from the Workshop - it's impossible to continue my game past Chapter 2, which is really infuriating as I was very much enjoying it up until then! I agree that a patch to fix this and other issues would be awesome - if anyone from Bioware is reading this!

I'll try the resolution fix when I go back home, but nobody on the thread seems to have any luck with it.

On a related note, my entire Half-Life playing consisted of "wow, neat tram ride", hey there's a guy walking this way blam blam, hm, now I'm stuck in the tram... he had a key?

for anybody who cares:

I turned down the resolution, turned off sound reverb, restarted my computer, then reloaded the area. It worked!
