    Puzzle 12 in Puzzle Mode has a glitch that makes it unbeatable, ending Puzzle Mode dead in it's tracks and leaving the rest of the levels unplayable because they cannot be unlocked.

    I am almost completely certain, after both trying this puzzle (puzzle 12) myself on the Wii version of the game many, many times, talking to other players of the Wii version, and watching video of the PC version of this level, that this puzzle is unbeatable in the Wii version of the game. On the PC version, the puzzle is fairly easy. But on the Wii version, there seems to be a glitch that doesn't allow this puzzle to be completed. There will always be 3 white balls left. It is a terrible bug that should've been found and fixed before the game was released. This is awful. Discussion of this glitch, as well as video of it being completed in the non-glitch PC version of the game can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfXuKGksPNs

    While the level can be skipped past during Adventure Mode, this glitch will bring Puzzle Mode to a screaching halt, leaving the rest of the many levels in the mode unplayable and uncompleted. Considering that the the Wii version retails for $29.99 while the unbroken PC version retails for $10 less at $19.99, this is a pretty awful mistake for the programmers to make on the more expensive version of the game. Beware!

    This bug is also present in the Mac version.

    Here's a workaround:

    Edit the file /Library/Application Support/MumboJumbo/Luxor 3/GameVars.txt
    Find the line:
    ChainReactionPullbackVelocityPerMatch 200
    Change the value from 200 to a higher value. I'm not sure what the "right" value is, but I've found that 350 works well.

    Enjoy.

    Hi Astroboi,
     

    We are currently looking into this issue, and will have a solution on its way soon!

     

    Thanks for the tip on the workaround in the meantime.

    Can this "work around" be done for the Wii or only the Mac?
    If it is Wii-able...please explain it. ( I don't know how to find a txt line on the Wii. )
    I like the puzzle mode and dislike the glitch UnbreakableIdea explained very well.
    And Josh . . . how "soon" is soon?
    Thanks all, I only ask because I love Luxor!
