The tunnel is a small opening on the right at the top of the slope at the back of the cavern. See [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Hi [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], OK, fair enough, I THOUGHT I saw the entrance from down below, but how the heck do you get up there??? LOL. I tried climbing up to it, but no go, what is this old man doing wrong??? LMAO Please understand, guys, I do NOT ask for help until I have exhausted my options as I see them, I may not find ALL options, but that may be simply because I am not used to this level of play in a game. So please do not think I am looking to be spoon-fed in the game or looking for easy play. I really do try to solve any issues on my own, first.

If you stay on the right-hand side of the slope, you can walk up most of it. There is one steeper section about half-way up where you may need to do a few "bunny-hops" at an angle to get past, but the rest should be climbable without jumping.

Ah OK, I see, will try that later today, thank you. I really hope I can stop bugging you guys now,LOL. Although I must say, I really am enjoying the game, even if the difficulty level is off the charts sometimes. Anyway, a BIG thank you and kudos to all who take the time to assist. I will honestly admit, though, I absolutely HATE these labyrinth missions, I ALWAYS get lost, LOL.

Instead of deleting your accumulated saved files, you can move them to another folder to archive them in case they're needed. But there's no need no be so fastidious! Keeping maybe 200Mb of saves would be okay, or you could set your Launcher > Game Manager > Manage Saves to automatically archive them for you
Re removing infoportions, I believe that the Infoportion Manager actually toggles the infoportion you want/don't want
So clicking on one will add it, and clicking on it again will remove it...
So if you add an infoportion and it's incorrect, then adding it again should remove it. However, I can see how this could get messy if used to excess - hence having the option of going back to a previous save...
Apologies for replying to an old post, however, when I try to do what is suggested above regarding Game Manager > Manage Saves and change it to ANY value EXCEPT OFF, it throws an error: "Input string was not in a correct format". I then have to click OK multiple times before it eventually disappears and the launcher closes. So I am leaving Manage Saves on OFF for now.

Thank you, markdewet, for revealing the source of this age-old curse!
I'll notify Aleks1970 who's responsible for the game's Launcher, and I'm certain that many players of this superb game will now disable their Auto Archive facility, and archive their saves manually until this is fixed...
In the meantime, please accept an upvote for your intrepid discovery!

If you
Spoiler:
enter Esc + F2 ingame you'll be in the Teleport Menu
Enter the word escape and click on TRAVEL
That will complete the opening Caves level and take you the next stage of the game
Don't worry, as you're not the first to have got totally lost in those bl**dy caves!
Having said that, you'll need to go back into them several times later on, as they're an essential part of the storyline...

Hi [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], in your walkthrough, you reference a "quartered" video. Are you referring to when the video plays, it is in 4 parts with a green "cross" in the centre? Because I am getting that too.

Yes, the "Kursk" video and a couple of others that play during MO's first visit to Generators. They seem to play quartered whatever screen resolution I choose, so I assume that it is something to do with the original video encoding.

Hi all, my most humble apologies, I did not read the messages between myself and Fang properly. I don't know how to "hide" something under a "spoiler" tag, so I will just say all is now as it should be, Fang has arrived.
