TagsWith the latest Lara Croft adventure out most people are getting to grips with the new game and trying to finish it as quickly as possible. That is, most people except a few Wii gamers, they've manged to find a bug that prevents them from progressing past a certain level.
The problem happens in the Coastal Thailand level of the game during the final part of that level. Lara jumps onto a bar and this then descends while opening an underwater escape route. Unfortunately what has happened to a few Wii gamers is that this bar doesn't appear, leaving gamers stranded with no way of getting out.
According to reports, Eidos, the company behind the Lara Croft Franchise, is currently looking into the fault and advising gamers to revert to a previous save to get around the problem.
Eidos has since issued a statement on the matter telling users that it is aware of the bug.
"We would like to stress that this is an extremely infrequent bug, however on the rare occasion that it occurs; it affects the presence of a lever in the Thailand level of the game and prevents progress beyond this leve," it said in the statement.
"Eidos sincerely apologises to anyone who has experienced this frustrating problem. The quality of our games is paramount to us and the Nintendo Wii version of Tomb Raider: Underworld went through three separate QA testing departments prior to release. Regrettably anomalies such as this do occur occasionally in videogames despite the best efforts by publishers to avoid them."
"The good news is that it is not an unsolvable bug, so if you encounter it and it persists please visit www.eidosinteractive.co.uk/support/worldmap.html."
We assume that the testers have been sent in a tiger-filled jungle and left to escape using only a toothpick and a Katie Melua album.
