Hey all, I'm trying to get past the guarded door along the cliff face, while trying to sneak into the concentration camp. I've tried various angles but can't seem to get close enough/at the right angle to get past the guard. I thought I might back up and try to get the telescope from the previous set of guards but can't figure out how to get back, and when I reverted to an earlier save I can't seem to get the telescope from those guys. Could I get a bit of a hint on how to move forward here?

 

Thanks

 

 

On a totally unrelated note, I saw a bunch of stuff on the other forums about how unity 5 was supposed to help performance but I've only seen mine get worse, sometimes significantly (like trying to point crow at the barrels in the city green). I know I have a bottom of the line PC but I was doing OK at 1024x768/min settings and now its almost unplayable in some areas. Has anyone else seen the same? Any thoughts on how to improve performance?

Getting the telescope is correct. There is a way to go back

It is particularly for computers with a GPU that's stronger than the CPU that performance will improve. For computers where the CPU and GPU are matched, or the CPU is stronger, there shouldn't be much of a change. And for most people that's been the case, there hasn't been much change. However some people have experienced what you're describing, that performance has gotten worse. As far as I'm aware there isn't much that can really be done about this, other than lowering settings, if they'r not already low. Sorry :/
(I should also state, just for the record, that I'm just a moderator on the forums and that I don't work for RTG. Just so there's no confusion there)

Ah thats perfect, can't believe I missed that. Oh well.

 

Thats too bad on the performance front. Maybe I've just got to bite the bullet and lug out my old desktop. 

 

Thanks for your help

I have the telescope but I can't figure out how to use it.  I'm standing in the place where Kian says "the guard is pressing something but I need a closer look" but I don't know how to get Kian to use the telescope.

Consider the timing as well as your inventory.

If you're using mouse and keyboard, you should just be able to click on the telescope and then drag it over to the guard to use it. If you're using a controller, it should just be a matter of pressing the button to "use" it while that area is highlighted. But it won't work until the guard has come out of the door and is over by the control pad. Otherwise he'll just say something like "I should wait until the guard returns."

[magritte]

It was the timing that was messing me up.  It's quite finicky and if you do it too early, a dialogue option happens that puts the bloody thing back in your inventory.

[agirlnamedbob]

Yeah. I had some trouble there, too. I'm using a controller and the inventory is a little less intuitive (or I just suck at it... ...probably that one) so I had a bit of an issue there. And then the timing. They could probably adjust that window a hair to make it more forgiving.

 

(Edit: Also, sorry if it seemed like...belittling that I was covering the inventory part. Sometimes in troubleshooting it's turned out to be a problem with the the UI, so I figured it was worth mentioning.)

I will count myself lucky then. Once I figured out I needed the farglass I managed to get the code on my first try. Whew!!

[magritte]

I think my issue was that if I were doing this in real life, I'd have my scope trained on the door waiting for the guard to come out.  I wouldn't wait for him to come out and go to the keypad and then look through the scope because I'd be afraid I'd miss some of what he did while I got him in my field of view and adjusted the focus.

[Ikon]

That's a fair point. RTG could have made it so that, when you click on the farglass, it trains your view on the code pad and triggers a guard to come out as well.
