F.E.A.R. bug?

[RepoMan]

I am playing my way through F.E.A.R. (quite slowly - only 8 gaming hours per week, and I have a bad case of quickloaditis which lengthens things considerably).

Shortly after SPOILER:





... the invisible wall-crawling guys show up, I remember doing some convoluted settings diddling, possibly including installing the 1.01 patch. And then I was walking down a hall, and I saw one of the invisible guys. Standing there. Invisible. Motionless. I could shoot him all day long and no reaction at all. I think he was doing his idle animation, though.

This was (I think) in interval four. Since then I saw one other immobile invisible guy... and I haven't been attacked ONCE by any invisible guys at all! (I'm in interval six now, I think.)

It seems to me that my game may have entered a buggy state where all the invisible guys are permanently frozen! I have a save game where I'm looking right at one of them.

Anyone else seen this? I can't go near the other F.E.A.R. thread because I already tripped over a whopper of a spoiler, and spoilers now infest that whole thread heavily. So please NO OTHER SPOILERS in this thread, PLEASE! Should I post a bug on the vugames forums? (I probably will anyway....)



....SPOILER ABOVE....

Thanks!

I'm not sure how to answer this without giving up a tiny spoiler, other than to say that the ninja guys are used exceedingly sparingly. If you're in Interval 06 and concerned you're missing ninja guys left and right ... don't worry, you're not.

That's a small enough spoiler. Well done :-) Thanks for the data point. I've posted on vugames as well, and I'll probably send them my save game file soon.

Cheers!

Although it sucks you're missing basically the only really challenging enemy in the game.

yeah those guiys gave me heart attacks, and kept me looking for them even when they werent there.
