My problem is that i can not reverse fast enough to get past the lame teleporter that sends you back where you came from!

To solve this simple timed puzzle 3 things need to be looking into:

1. None of your party members must be overburdend.
If only one char shows the snail sign in it's char icon or a yellow carrying capacity indicator in char screen you can't do this.

2. Your system or grafics card may not be fast enough.
The 3D display of the dungeon with all it's lighting, shadow, perspective and such put a heavy load onto weaker systems. I experienced this on my old WinXP PC which has a Geforce 7600 GT inside. I turned SSAO off therr to get playability up.

3. You may not be fast enough.
Sorry to say so but if both points above are met it boils down to this.
The sequence to complete this timed puzzle is simple: hit the button and step back 3 times.
Do NOT hold down the "S" key here! Instead hit "S" 3 times fast. Otherwise your keyboard buffer interferes.

It must be me, just plain old too slow!

Or is it that it is just a really stupid thing to put in to a game, limiting your player base and thus any possible income!

I have now uninstalled and deleted the game, as it is nothing but a waste of space on my hard drive!

I will not be buying any further games from this source!

Thanks for your reply!

yikes! frustration can be a strong emotion.

I just get my mouse ready over that hidden button spot, then almost all at once I click it and then press S S S on the keyboard. All set, no problem. If that's not working, then it's most likely a slow computer/graphics card issue going on.

HP Pavilion DV6 8gb memory, 2gb gfx card, 1tb hd, 64bit os!
It's just over a week old, so probably running as fast as it is going to (not much else installed to slow it down)!

sounds like the computer should be fast enough then. That's a pretty huge amount of memory on the video card, what card is it? Sometimes "onboard" video that comes with new computers is actually pretty wimpy, and uses a "memory sharing" setup with the main memory, which is slow, so if that's the case then it still could be the problem. But if you have a dedicated card, like a GeForce or an AMD card, it should be plenty powerful

BTW, even if you selected not to keep the save games when you did the uninstall, they still might be in the folder in your documents, under Almost Human, in which case a quick new install of the game and load a save and you're back in business

The gfx card is a geforce gt

As for the saved game, it only took 5 minutes to get to the second level, so not a huge loss if I was to retry.

Doubt I will retry because it is impossible for me to get past this stage of the game!
