The adventures can get wild in Indiana Jones and The Great Circle and oftentimes, you will find yourself going through long quests to acquire key items. Like the camera! As an archaeologist, you will have to take photographs of the finds you make, and to do so, you will need a camera. The problem is, after going through a long quest to get into the Vatican post office to locate the camera, many are not able to purchase it! If you too are encountering the same issue, consider reading this guide for details regarding how to fix it.
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, players may encounter a bug where Indy is unable to purchase the camera from the Vatican Post Office, even with sufficient funds. Despite selecting the item, Indy puts it back instead of completing the transaction. This, obviously, is leaving players unable to progress further since the camera is essential for the storyline.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Unable to Purchase Camera: Is there any fix yet?
The developers of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle have yet to officially acknowledge the camera purchase issue at the Vatican Post Office. However, some players have reported the bug on the game’s Steam discussion forum, bringing it to wider attention. Hopefully, a future update or patch will address this problem once and for all. In the meantime, here are some potential workarounds that might help resolve the issue.
Lira!
The camera does not come for free! You will have to purchase it for 379 lira, so make sure you have the funds required for the camera. It is possible that you are trying to buy it with insufficient funds. You can explore the Vatican City to collect the required amount or if you are feeling brave enough, sneakily try and rob the military camps you see on the way to the post office.
Reset Keybinds
One potential workaround that players have suggested involves resetting your keybinds to their default settings. Some players found that having the spacebar bound to the Use/Pickup action caused the problem. Changing this binding to any key other than the spacebar allowed them to complete the purchase successfully. Resetting your key bindings or adjusting them manually might help resolve the issue until an official fix is released.
Switch to Controller
Another clever workaround is switching from keyboard and mouse input to a controller. For some, this temporarily allowed them to pick up the camera and they didn’t have to change any keybindings for the controller. This suggests that the issue might be related to specific keyboard bindings, and using the controller bypassed that problem. Hopefully, this solution helps you continue your progress!
Verify game files
If the player-suggested fixes are not working, a good idea is to verify the game files through Steam and check for any pending updates. Just right-click on the game from your Steam library and select the verify game files option from the properties>local tab. Wait for the process to check for corrupted files and then launch the game to see if this fixes the issue.
Update and Reinstall
Finally, keep checking the game for updates and if there are any pending updates, make sure to install it. The same goes for your Steam client, GPU drivers, and Windows OS. And if nothing works out, try reinstalling the game altogether. Remove all the residual files and do a fresh reinstall. While doing so, install the game on a faster drive like an SSD.
And those are the most effective workarounds that we have for the camera bug in Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. That is all for this guide.
