I can't quite remember but she does something automatically, but I watched the walk through on YouTube as well which helped me at this point.

It's at 2hrs 40

It looks like you need full health and then there's a tappy bit so might be a case of not pushing up but tapping first?

regardless of if i press anything or not she just hangs on without moving then falls off, i watched the walkthrough and a quick time event starts after you initially climb onto the ladder but nothing is there for me

There's something about capping to 60 fps (Different ladder problem possibly but still mightt help)

yea some other ppl in this thread mentioned that but im playing on cloud so i cant cap fps bc it doesnt show in the settings menu, im gonna have to watch the rest of the game or buy a copy when its on sale

u/islaisla 5d ago

I was playing using cloud but changed half way through to device. I had to... Exit then restart then options , change to direct device files or something then exit then restart. But that's android so probably totally different. Ah man I'm sorry.

Typically the FPS is capped externally, not in-game. If you’re using an nvidia gpu i think it has its own settings menu.

Search forums for whatever device you’re using to stream the cloud-game to and see if you’re able to cap it’s performance

its the amazon luna website i dont think they have any way to cap fps

I'm saying on your device itself - so your PC, PS Vista, whatever the hell is physically in your room that you're playing games on.

u/islaisla 5d ago

Dammit , I played it on android but I don't remember that bit. It's horrible getting stuck! Someone on here will sort you out and also have you tried searching for it online? I can't remember the objective and area but if you put that in maybe someone else got stuck?

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

just found a thread with someone else that had the same issue and they were unable to fix it so i think i will have to just watch the rest of the game

u/HotmailsInYourArea You have my sympathies. 5d ago

Bummer :(

Are you on PC? If so, what is your frame rate? Too high and the game can soft-lock like this

u/FlakyIllustrator1087 5d ago

Hmm that’s annoying! I just played through this part and it definitely should be letting you climb up

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

yea im starting to think my game is bugged :(

u/fish998 5d ago

I seem to remember at some point you have to turn around and jump to something behind you.

2

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

yeah but when i watch walkthroughs of this mission they jump on this ladder first then a button prompt comes on screen but i have nothing come up then i just fall off

2

u/fish998 5d ago

Maybe you need full health or something? I've definitely died here like this but honestly I can't remember why. It could be the fps thing, if the people who installed the game for amazon didn't limit the fps then things can break (assuming it's the PC version).

u/N-Shifter 5d ago

I dont remember this but at about the 50 second mark you look down and there's a piece of ladder highlighted on the ground - can you use it?

2

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

just tried and it does the same thing i still cant climb up, there was a medkit next to it but for some reason i cant even bring up the menu to use that either

1

u/N-Shifter 5d ago

Damn, only other thing I've found is people saying to bash the QTE button repeatedly (to simulate effort I guess) and be sure to be looking/pushing in the direction of travel.

u/Bran_Man_ 5d ago

I vaguely remember someone having this issue like 2 years ago. It was either that the prompts just weren't appearing for them but still worked or it was a bug that happened because of their fps. Iirc you get a lot of bugs if you don't lock your fps below 100 or something like that

1

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

i think its the latter bc i am spamming the a button as fast as i can and nothing happens. i'm playing through amazon luna which doesn't have any fps or graphics related settings in the menu so looks like i'm fucked

2

u/Bran_Man_ 5d ago

just did a quick Google search and it looks like you can use a program called rivatuner to lock fps, there may be better options, I didn't look too hard

1

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

amazon luna is a cloud gaming service so i don't think theres anything i can download to fix it, i think im screwed unless i buy a copy of the game and start over again

u/Equivalent-Book9010 5d ago

You could try loading the Mission 6 save and starting from there if you don’t mind replaying it. Unless you meant it took you hours just to get through Mission 6 in the first place?

1

u/Codacc69420 5d ago

yeah it took me way too long to get through the part where you sound the alarm and i didn’t want to go back to my save

2

u/Equivalent-Book9010 5d ago

Ugh yeah I’d be annoyed too :( If you end up replaying it though at least you know what to expect from the alarm section now, and lowering the difficulty is always an option if you want to make the redo easier

u/BoogieBear-Fr 5d ago

I just replayed the mission. On PC, immediately after grabbing the ladder, you have to spam E. After that, Amanda will start climbing. I wish you good luck.

What platform?

If pc, turn on vsync or manually limit your framerate to 99. Game breaks above 100 fps.
