I can't make it through the hole even while crouching!
  • Are you sure you're leaning on the Crouch key while moving straight toward the hole? If so, and you still can't get through, here are some suggestions that I've heard might work. I've been unable to verify them since I've never experienced this problem.

    * Turn off some of the advanced video options.
    * Turn off head bob and detailed textures.
    * Try going in backwards while crouching.
    * If any of your characters are weak, rest that off first and then try again.
