HL2-Citadel-Can't Jump-Spoiler(maybe?)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

I have finally made to the start of Citadel and I am stuck. The combine
machines have performed the weapons strip, I have traveled the walk ways,
but now I am stuck.
It seems I have lost my ability to jump over obstacles or to jump at all.
Is this normal? Seems like I need to do this to continue.
Thanks,
Don F

lol... I finished the game without jumping! I even got over a barrier by
pulling things off walls and slowly walking up them. I thought stupidly it
had something to do with the *spoiler nod n wink* weapon you get there...
However, I found out after coming here on game completion, that it is
something to do with jumping on a lift. The only solution is to restart at
an earlier save where you could still jump, and then avoid jumping about or
on to lifts.

Thanks. Went back and all is OK.
I did a search for this problem and found nothing. I remember this as a
problem with Half-Life (1).

It just wouldn't be Half-Life without an elevator bug.

Well in Half-Life you simply got stuck to the floor and couldn't move!
This bug is different, you can walk, and you CAN jump, but only amounts
to about 1/4 game inch.

Not for me. I couldn't jump at all ... not even a "1/4 game inch". I went
back to a save point *before* "the ride", touched nothing *during* "the
ride", and was easily able to continue the game from the point which was
blocked before.
Maybe we have different results because of different hardware and/or
player actions during critical parts of the game.

It's very likely. I guess this bug is HL2's equivalent of HL1's
elevator bug.
