how to set chest slider to 167

Post by wuji »

ehm, I've been trying to open chest west of grimmhold which, according to my quest book, should be opened by setting slider to 167. however, I can set slider to 164,165,166,168,170 etc. but there's no way I can set it to 167. When I set it to 166, left of 166 is 165, right of 166 is 168. There is no problem with my mouse/trackpoint/fingers. Any suggestion?
thanks

I've found this to be a problem on occassion. I just go to within a few numbers of the correct one and then lightly click one number at a time. Trying to just move the slider with your pointer normally brings up your problem. It can be tricky but it can be done.

you were right. I made a single lucky sweep 0 - 167 so I was lucky. Hopefully this will be fixed in Book II.

I had to adjust my mouse properties in the Windows Control Panel to operate one of those annoying chests. For Book II, I would suggest a scroll bar with arrows that move the pointer one number at a time when clicked.
