I'm stuck in the sixths puzzle of the Robobrain clonemaster... I activated the switch that blew up the wall but my clone is still not able to move along. Zooming in revealed three little "dots" that seem to be leftovers of the wall.
After some retries I used the Solution-Button, but that didn't work either.
I also tried restarting the game, changing profile and even changed the resolution... Didn't work.
I have the Steam-Version of the Game.

Can anybody help me out?

The 6th RoboBrain level is "Last Lopper".

I've tried this level in v1.32 and the wall cleanly blew apart for me. Here are screenshots before and after hitting the switch.

Can you post some screenshots, or perhaps a video so that we can see the problem?

Also, please post the contents of your Client.txt and Server.txt:
(Windows 7) C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Clones\Cache\Log\
(Windows XP) C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Clones\Cache\Log\

One way to get around this is to use the "Unlock All Puzzles" checkbox in the Options Menu from the Main Menu. Then you can play the next puzzle and once you solve it you can uncheck the option and continue forward.

Thanks for your very fast reply.

Your system specs look ok, but the Server.txt contents didn't indicate that you played that "Last Lopper" level. Please do the following to ensure it will contain relevant info:
1) Exit Clones if it's already open.
2) Start Clones
3) Play the "Last Lopper" level and Lop at the switch to explode the wall.
4) Verify that your clone gets stuck on the few random leftover pixels.
5) Exit Clones and then post the contents of Server.txt

I'm not sure if it is relevant, but the leftovers always look the same. 3 pixels near the ceiling and 3 pixels near the floor where the clone gets stuck.

[rt]

Hmm, you Server.txt file looks fine, no warning of texture size problems. Try playing the modified version i've attached and let me know if the same 3 pixels are leftover.

To play:
1) Save the attachment to your My Documents\Clones\Level folder
2) Start Clones and open the level in the editor (Last Lopper Test)
3) Play level (F8)

[Valorin]

This level works fine.

[Valorin]

I found a similar problem in the Level "Heart of Clone". The Clones can't pass by the pixels. Theres an easy way to work around that problem but I thought you could be interested in that.

It seems that for whatever reason your processor/video card combo may be rounding differently than my system and other test systems. If this is true then any level in which the landscape is dynamically modified could produce these artifacts. Using the "Unlock All Puzzles" option would let you progress on levels where this causes a problem but i'd like to know exactly what is causing the problem so that we can fix it.

I'll make an example level that does some land modification which might help narrow down the issue.

Could you try toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode (BACKSLASH is the default hotkey). Try playing the level in one or the other mode, and also with a toggle between them and see if it has any effect. We had an issue in multiplayer before that only happened if one client was fullscreen and the others where windowed.
