Moved thread from Riven discussions to Myst III: Exile discussions.

Hi, some of the hints in the books are quite clear about puzzles but I am in Amateria trying to solve the two rotating discs but there is no hint or reference how it works, although walk-troughs are available online but Is it how it supposed to be played, trial and error?...

This puzzle almost made me cry. After completing Myst 1 and Riven completely blind I finally caved in at this piece of ♥♥♥♥ of a puzzle. I feel ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible. Can someone at least explain how the ♥♥♥♥ are you supposed to get this?...

I don't get it. I can see the diagrams in the journal. I can see the parts on the elevator. I can not figure out what it is they want me to do with them that I've not already done. It's actually making me crazy. All walkthroughs are telling me is to "look at the journal." but whatever mental handicap I suffer from prevents me from seeing how those diagrams differ from the inputs I'm giving. Anyone know what stupid thing I'm overlooking?...

When playing Myst III Exile on my MacBook Pro with Ventura OS, the game would freeze as soon as I tried to save or exit, after requesting access to my Documents folder. When I granted full disk access to the correct file the problem was solved - the *correct* game file was located here: ~>applications>library>application support>steam>steamapps>common>Myst III Exile>Exile ( ~ indicates username)...
