Serious bugs in the game

[Caelean]

I'm playing this game together with a friend. We play it together while talking to each other on Skype.

After the prison blocks we started to notice that our games started to differ. Small things at first like she gets growling and I didn't.
Then in the cistern she got a water monster and some red stuff while my game didn't show any of those.

Later in the Nave at the well where you're supposed to lower the meat in, there is no rope showed in my game and any interaction with the well and the meat results in "the rope must be raised to attach something to it".
Cranking the crank doesn't change anything.

After some trying we left the well alone and continued.

In the choir entrance, after interacting with everything, she sees dear bodies hanging from the ceiling but my hallway is empty and desolate.

Later when we woke up in the cell area, we walked into the half caved in cell and triggered the cut scene.
She sees a dead man and is able to reach the bucket in the cell next to it.
I can't see any dead man and I can't interact with the door to reach the bucket. We also notice that in my game the rope is missing in the well.

Anyone come across these or similar bugs? Or knows how to fix it?

attach us here your HPL.log file found under Documents\Amnesia\Main

1) What operating system do you have?
2) What graphics card do you have?

Thnx for looking into it.

I use windows 7 and I have an ATI Radeon 4800 series.

Is there any chance you updated the game in the middle of the playthrough?

Yes. Steam is so nice to do that for me.

The bolded are not bugs but simply differences in experience. The first one thats bolded requires you to go to the Morgue FIRST, and then the Cistern to trigger the event. I didn't get the water monster either on my playthrough. The second thing thats bolded depends on player sanity levels at the time. Certain things in the game change the lower/higher your sanity is. For instance, sometimes a player can trigger a hallucination where a monster chases them but they aren't real. This happened to me in the prison. Also, certain portraits change appearance when sanity reaches low levels.

As for the rest, I'm not sure.

Can you try to load an earlier save to see if it happens again?

[Caelean]

You mean a save from before the update or a save before the Nave part?

[plutomaniac]

actually Roy595 is right. If it was v1.2 update then the game would crash. That's always the symptom. So in this case, I think this is sanity. There are some errors in the log though...

He means before the update. Read what I wrote before though...

Not the cell blocks and the choir again...
You did a great job there I must say.

I guess I'll try to reload a save tomorrow then. Nothing to lose I suppose.
