Umbrella bug?

[Borjoyzee]

Hi guys!

Since there are a few people in the official AMR forum that have this problem with the umbrella (including me) I wanted to ask here if this bug might be version related.

It happens when you first get the umbrella in the mad hatters domain before the battle against the three faced tar monster (don't remember it's proper name).

You can pick up the umbrella but you are not able to activate it. So this mini boss is not beatable and you are stuck. Has this happened to anybody with the Steam version of this game?

Just for info - we all know that you have to focus the enemy first for the umbrella block to work and we tried different keys and ini-hacks and so on.

Thanx!

I used the solution from this thread (http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7001142.page) and luckily it worked for me.

If you'd like to keep the umbrella block on the E key though, I suggest you try the solution of the guy at the bottom of this thread page (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rqjHGZclabMJ:forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/30/6918269.page+alice+madness+umbrella+not+working&cd=1&hl=nl&ct=clnk&gl=be&source=www.google.be).

I had the same problem. I even tried editing DefaultControlLayout.ini in the same manner as described in Monkey C's first link. With no luck.

Then I decided to run the game through the Origin client and that fixed it for me.

This worked for me, Good link.

I fixed my umbrella bug by opening the AliceControlLayout.ini file (found in ~/mydocs/mygames/Alice Madness Returns/Alicegame/config) by slashing out the line KeyBindArray2=(Name="E",Command="Use | push|PickUpActor | QuitFPS|SwitchWeaponGroup"). I also made use the | symbol was properly spaced on the TriggerBlock line.

e.g., // KeyBindArray2=(Name="E",Command="Use | push|PickUpActor | QuitFPS|SwitchWeaponGroup")

For some reason the game binds E to two different commands.

Wasn't working for me neither, but then I had an idea!!!! What if it only works when your Locked on to an enemy? I tried it and sure enough IT WORKS!

Doesn't work for me. I know changing the files works, because I changed the Hysteria button using this method, but no matter what I change focus or Umbrella to, I cannot use the Umbrella and therefore am permanently stuck in the game.

Ever thought about resetting to default buttons and play with it? The programmers at Spicy Horse don't want you to do any key bindings, they want you to play their way T_T

Lots of bugs if you change any default key

Any luck on this getting fixed? The thread this thread points to doesn't exist, and commenting out that line solved nothing for me. :(
