why can't you post your save ?

I simply can't manage those rope jumps over the lake...Can anyone help me?

I'm sure it's politically incorrect to point this out here (as I did in my review), but Colin has not disabled the flycheat. If it's that big a deal, simply bypass the ropes.

Edit: Given the apparently sensitive nature of this topic, I provided the information requested below by Mazeh via PM.

and now u said so and he probably not reveal why he can post a save

Hello... I'm loving this game, but I simply can't manage those rope jumps over the lake, at Part 2, even once, and it seems that they must be done two or three times for the necessary pickups, even forgetting all the other goodies. So, if anyone has a save just after ALL the necessary rope jumps, I would accept it quite gladly. I cannot post my save (with Lara grabbing a rope, in front of a W ledge) and ask someone to do the jump for me, because I would have to do it again, and it would be quite impossible. Can anyone help me?

Just upload your save file to this topic and I'll get the pick ups for you. You can save the game while Lara's holding onto a rope by using the F5 hotkey.

Well... I don't know how to use this flycheat. In fact, yesterday I had an impulse of writing to you, in order to ask what was this thing (after reading one of your reviews saying that you had used it).
Anyway, what is flycheat?

Because in my save I am only at the first try with the ropes, and I didn't want to ask someone a lot of boring work, meaning that the person would have to do twice the ropes' swings.

Thank you very much, for the offer, AND the game, of course! Here goes:

EDIT: A very strange thing happened. After posting the save above, I gave the game another try and could swing to the island with no difficulty! I picked up the item and went back, but when I tried to use the rope again to go to the other island and use the key (that I picked up only then), I found the same rope difficulty as before, at the same point. I'm not understanding this at all! Nevertheless, I'll post another save with the key and the item.

Okay, I did the rope jumps and saved inside little island vault. You can now load the save file and pick up the 3rd Unholy Scarab at Lara's feet. The only Unholy Scarab left for you is the one hidden in the teleporter maze.

Many thanks, Colin, you're an . It seems that you had no difficulty with my save... Now, perhaps I can finish your splendid game, and review it. My reviewer name is "Josey".
