Anachronox Hints
I seem to have run out of ammunition. What should I do?
1 of 4: Notice what your targeting cursor looks like.
2 of 4: The same symbol appears elsewhere on your screen.
3 of 4: Click on the symbol in the lower-left of your screen, and you will reload your weapons. It always helps to do this during a lull in combat, so you don't run out of ammunition when you need it the most.
4 of 4: Once or twice, the game wouldn't let me reload my weapons at all. Not only was I unable to shoot, but I also wasn't able to bring up the main menu to quit or restart the game gracefully. The only thing I was able to do then was to ALT+TAB out of the game and press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to force the game to shut down. This appears to have been a random bug, so if it happens to you, just quit the game and try again.
