Some locks and ladders in the game aren´t working correctly. Example, the practise locks in Garrett´s apartment are almost unpickable. The most serious problems with stairs are in Abysmals Gale. Both ladders in level start and end are almost unclimbable.
The symptom is that, when I try to climb or pick a lock, Garrett freezes/runs in stand moving twitchy toward the lock/ladder. Then the game seems to freeze for a few seconds. After that the control comes back, and if I´m lucky, he starts to use ladder/pick a lock, but usually he doesn´t.
This problem didn´t occure on my old computer.
My system Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1024 RAM
Geforce 6600GT
Audigy 4 PCI
Windows XP SP2
Does any of you have these problems, and is there any cure?

Just to get the dumb stuff out of the way....do you have a clean install? Have you tried re-installing? Is your hard drive accessing data when it acts up? Is this a brand new build (pc), and do you have new drivers for sound/video/chipset?

I just reinstalled the windows about an week ago. I´m having the latest sound/graphic/chipet drivers. My hard drive is not accessing data when it happens (and yes, I have defraged the HD). I have had this PC for about 6 months. I have tried clean unmodded game install, closed unnecessary applications, but it won´t help. My other games are running with no problems.
EDIT: Ok, I found out that there is a new version of the Nvidia driver (81.95). I´ll have to try that soon.

Make sure you don't have a gamepad/joystick attached either

My standard response to this if all else fails is to disable or enable vsync - it has worked for me in the past with the ladder problem.

Enabling vsync seems to fix these problems. Thanks, GlasWolf.
