I played this game tons of times never heard of this.

On Blood Island and trying to make the hangover cure. I'm at the pepper plant by the windmill, and when I try to pick a pepper from the plant, Guybrush says, "I only need one", but the pepper has not appeared in my inventory, and I can't click on an individual pepper, I can only click on the plant. All of the walkthroughs says that you can just go to the windmill and pick the pepper. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and does anyone have advice on how to fix this without having to restart the whole game?

Thanks!

Hi Minky, glad to see someone having the same problem. Though it's three years ago, maybe you remember, if and how you could solve it?

Thought I'd be helpful and check, since I just played through and remembered that the plant had both an individual "pepper" and a "pepper plant" hotspot, but whichever of the two you in fact "use" both are fine and get you the pepper.

I.e., must be an honest to goodness glitch but, yes, also not reproducing. Steam version or otherwise? Seems that in the Steam ScummVM 2.0.0 I can not even (easily in any case, via the "GFX" options) switch e.g. VSync on or off whereas in a standalone ScummVM 2.8.1 I can. If you are on the Steam version and, perhaps, on some truly obnoxiously fast hardware that you are seeing an FPS-overrun bug...

Thanks for answering, Yujah. Will try again, maybe another ScummVm version. Will check and let you know.
