Can't play flute song at the end of chapter 3

Hello, we are really enjoying this game, but have run into a problem at the very end of chapter 3 when you're supposed to play your flute nose and get the fosfoses to light up on the ring.

The first one lights up when I play hole 1, but I can't get the second one (2 and 4) to light up no matter what I do. Pressing 2 and 4, or any other combination, just makes the first fosfos deactivate, and doesn't light up the second. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right based on the walkthroughs, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the second part of the sequence

Edit: OK, after trying it over and over again I can very rarely get the second and third fosfoses to light up. Seems like its some sort of timing issue. I've tried a different keyboard as well, still no luck. Any advice? Or, failing that, a savegame at the start of chapter 4 :)

I have the exact same problem, was just about to open up a thread here. Sometimes it does light up but can't get past the third fosfos.

well ill be darned. wrote a java program that automatically plays the flute with random times between notes and notelengths and it actually worked after some tries. i dont have specific numbers it just worked at some point. i got to the next chapter, reloaded the save after the video sequence and now i only get a black screen. im a sad panda right now, good night folks.

edit:
well i can actually replicate my results with that program but when i come to the first screen in the next chapter i cant do anything, the cursor always gives me the "no go" sign...

and for anyone whos interested heres the source:

import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class tasta {

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

Robot robot = new Robot();
Thread.sleep(3000);
for(int i = 0; i<=100000; i++){
int ran = ((int)Math.random() * 1000) +25;
int ran1 = ((int)Math.random() * 1000) +25;
Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('1');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('1');

Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('2');
robot.keyPress('4');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('2');
robot.keyRelease('4');

Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('3');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('3');

Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('2');
robot.keyPress('3');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('2');
robot.keyRelease('3');

Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('1');
robot.keyPress('3');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('1');
robot.keyRelease('3');

Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('1');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('1');

Thread.sleep(ran);
robot.keyPress('1');
Thread.sleep(ran1);
robot.keyRelease('1');
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

}

Thanks soluna, your little assistant works for me.
But in order to continue, you have to stop it manually or you play your flute nose for a very long time.

Workaround for all of you that really can't wait for an official patch and can't use the Java tool:

Watch this video to keep up with the story at the end of chapter 3 / start of chapter 4.
Download save file collection[www.adventurespiele.net] (free registration required; it's a German site - use the Datei herunterladen and Registrierung links).
Copy the file
saveFile-6.tiw
from the zip file into your savegame folder (location depends on your operating system)
c:\Users\<username>\Documents\TheInnerWorld\savegames\
and rename it to
saveFile-3.tiw
.
After you restarted the game, slot 3 contains the save file just at the beginning of chapter 4.

Should have looked here sooner. Just went through tons of frustration trying to get past this point. Hope it gets fixed soon. Very soon.

Hi there guys!
We're really sorry for the new problem. We found the issue and are working on it! We will provide a fixing update tomorrow or Saturday the latest.
Again, sorry for that, the wind chapel seems to have its very own kind of humor...

Best!

Thank you for looking into the matter so quickly. The game is great so far and I can't wait to know how it continues.
Thanks again!

And thanks to the others for providing different solutions. Nice to know you can always count on fellow gamers.
