I just got the game and I am at the part where you need to let the king and his men in by opening the gate (after you get out of the well in the prolog) but my clicks are not registering half the time when trying to open the bridge (who ever thought it was a good idea to put a time limit on those is a moron) making it impossible to proceed through the game help please :3.

Try temporarily turning down the screen resolution through the configurator . Especially if you`re anywhere near the minimum system specs .
