Friends Beyond 1 problems
I'm playing Friends Beyond 1, v. 1.5 and I've gotten to the point where I run around underground. However, there are a couple of places with locked screens where the screen stays locked even after I've killed everything. I haven't encountered this anywhere except FB 1, is there any way around it without cheating?



I saw another post about this by Christine from November, she & I are both using Win '98. I tried the fix listed there (start Dink, quickly quit then run Dink again) but it didn't help.



Thanks in advance.

It has nothing to do with your operating system. It is a bug the author has made. Infact it is a serious one too. He should've came out with a patch to fix this problem a long time ago. Also don't touch the warp points. They look like the when you fire the acid rain spell in original dink. It's because that part crashes. The only solutions that I can think of is use the cheat after you killed all the enemies in that room. The good thing is this bug was fixed in the later Friends beyond series.

Well, I'm afraid I'm too dense to figure out what it is. I just went back to talk to the old woman in the mountains but she didn't have any new info, and I can't do anything with the statue's gem eyes yet.
