I just recently started playing Space Quest 6 again and I noticed that I'm having timer errors galore. I can't talk to the trench coat guy, I can't even find Elmo and I'm sure I'll run into error 42. However, I remember that there is a way around Error 42, a save file was left in the game so you can move around the error. The question is: what was the file and the directory? Do any of you knwo? I have read the Read This file and I couldn't find the information I need. Do any of you know what this file is and the directory name?

There are un-official patches that fix all of SQ6's bugs. They can be found at this regularly updated site:

If you prefer the official way, the save file can be downloaded from Sierra's FTP as sq6sg.zip. I don't believe it was bundled with the game - but of course, you might have a later release than me.

BTW, I didn't know about the Endodroid Runner and Elmo having any issues with them, despite getting Error 42. Don't forget that the save doesn't take those two into account.

The official patches dont fix these problems he mentions above.

Thanks. I never did find out what that Save file was but the patches worked.
