Thanks. I may try playing Act 1 & 2 by disk and see what it looks like compared to installed.

Thanks for the help.

Okay. Does sending the letter do anything later in the game?

No, I'm still in the first.

I'm having the same problem. When I first played I opened the box and then shortly after I was able to put the mail in the box using the X button or I may have read Merse's letter after I opened the box and the two captain documents also and then I was told to put the mail in the box which I did. At any rate, I can't now. My journal does not say "Above all, however, our hero placed the parcel from the Petra Silie's captain in the box." It talks about what Merse wrote and to keep that in mind. The direction under the map does say to look for a second wreck. Is this a known bug that I can't mail now? Is there a needed order for it to work correctly?

Thanks.
