Oh, so go into your "My Documents" folder and tehre find "Penumbra Overture" and later "Episode 1"
Open settings.cfg with notepad
set SimpleWeaponSwing to "true"

Since now, you swing your weapon by holding your mouse button, and make a stabbing motion by tapping it!

Try it!

Thank you very much! Although I liked the new style "real swinging" It was almost unusable when it came to really fast breaking down several objects one after another.

this really helped
tnx man

Thanks for pointing that out Smile

I found another interesting option. If you set SimpleSwingInOptions to "true", you can change this setting anytime, using your in-game options

You devolopers left too many *possible* beta helpers ingame. (As in things that made beta testing alot faster)

Can these suggestions be used for Macintoshes? I can't find anything in my Documents Folder relating to Penumbra Overture? Can you give me a little more details, please? I'm not coordinated AND less than a com0puter wiz ... but LOVE the game. (Thanks in advance for any help you can render this poor old grandma ;o)

Yes...

The settings.cfg in OS X is located in your User / Library / Preferences in the Frictional Games Folder...

Just use TextEdit to open the file.
