  • Make sure Riddle of the Sphinx™ is not running.
  • Locate your save file. Navigate to your user’s library folder, i.e., Mac HD/Users/John/Library. Sometimes the Library folder is hidden. Press “Shift” + “CMD” + “.”. This command shows hidden folders.Then under library, find Application Support/com.OldWorldStudios.RiddleoftheSphinx-TheAwakening/autosave.txt.Note: if you bought the game through GOG, the folder is named “com.OldWorldStudios.ROTS-GOG”, or on Mac app store, the folder is named “com.OldWorldStudios.ROTS-HD-MacOS”
  • Open the autosave.txt file in TextEdit.
  • Search the autosave.txt file for “AutoRetrievalActive”, and change the “false” value too “true”. You can search the file by pressing “CMD” + “f”.
  • Search the autosave.txt file for “AutoRetrievalTimeRemaining”, and change the “420.0” value to “400.0”.
  • Search the autosave.txt file for “PYRShaftDoorOpen”, and change the “false” value too “true”.
  • Search the autosave.txt file for “PYRKingsBlockCocked”, and change the “false” value to “true”.
  • Search the autosave.txt file for “PYRNicheOpen”, and change the “false” value to “true”.
  • Save the file, and launch the game. The robot puzzle will be completely bypassed.

    ]]>     If you find yourself stuck with the loading compass over a black background, it is likely that the autosave file is having trouble loading.

    Follow the steps below to continue your progress:

    1. Force quit out of the game. On Windows, press Alt+F4 on your keyboard to close it. On Mac, press COMMAND+OPTION+ESC.
    2. Relaunch the game.
    3. When you see the intro animation, press and release the s key.
    4. This will load your autosave in safeMode.

    If the above doesn’t work, you can attempt to bypass your autosave by following the steps above, but pressing and releasing the x key in step 3, above, instead of s.

    Bypassing an autosave will ultimately overwrite your autosave as a new autosave will be written once you land at the beginning of the game. It is good practice to save your games manually at crucial spots.
