Act 2, in the burning cornfield. How do I throw the lasso to catch a branch so I can climb the big tree. I can get the lasso twirling with LMB and moving mouse but hitting 'F' or any other key does nothing.

Can't advance in game until I can get up the tree and shoot the soldier firing the gattling gun.

Edit:
I've done a Google search and it appears that the lasso spins 4-5 circles then throws itself at the branch. Mine will keep spinning as long as I hold LMB. Too bad, game seems to be over for me. <SIGH>

Re-Edit
<Double SIGH> I thought you only had to move the mouse to get the lasso twirling when in fact you need to CONTINUE to move the mouse until the lasso launches itself. Needless to say I made it into the tree just fine.
