I found Glottis working on the ship hanging from the chain, then I left. Whenever I try to go back to that screen, Manny immediatly walks back up the chain and back onto the conveyor belt screen. I can't even controll him for one second when I'm on the ship. So confused.
It says that grim fandango is up to date and there's no reason to use that patch.
even so, if you ARE able to install it then do. it fixes many issues in the game.
