it shouldn't corrupt your savegame unless your savegame files are corrupted in the first place. please read the pages again. http://www.larian.com/Site/english/divinity/fix.htmlso that means u're safe!!

Your saved games won't be patched. You'll need to start a new game to receive most of the benefits (quest fixes). I'm taking a guess here, but any broken skills should work in your saved games.

Bugfixes addressed in V1.34
-Solves the black map/resetted world problem
Please read the following carefully: If you apply the updated patch and load savegames made prior to v1.33 you will encounter no more problems .
If you had loaded savegames made with v1.33 after starting a new game with v1.33 you will also not encounter any problems.
If you have made a savegame in versions before v1.33, then loaded that savegame in v1.33 and saved in v1.33, that savegame is potentially corrupt. The best thing is to revert to one of the savegames made earlier with v1.32 or before.
but Bugfixes addressed in V1.33
Story fixes: A lot of the following fixes are only valid if you start a new game. However, if you don’t start a new game, installing the patch has no adverse effect.
then.... what do i do? i don want to start again...

There's no penalty to installing the patch and using old saved games. Keep playing! You may encounter quests breaking, so you'll just have to deal with that when it happens. There's plenty of people here who can help if you run into trouble.

Since you never had the 1.33 patch, you don't have to worry about that potential bug.
Just install the patch. There are some story fixes and updates that only effect new games, but it is not worth re-doing a large chunk of the game for that. Even without the patch's story fixes, there are un-official fixes or work arounds for most problems, should you even run into one. Don't use your teleporter stones to get into the castle before you have an invitation, and I don't think you can encounter any major un-fixable story problems.

yesterday, i was playing with my mage and i was just wandering all over the place, and i came to this cemetery and the stupid jake returns from the dead dead dead(he died twice, thanks to moi) and grabs that poor girl.
i venture down after her after blasting the other zombies and blast the rest waiting down there before running like hell out because there's a steel scorpion on my tail. i wander around in the cemetery some more before looting(some) that girl's hse (has a spell bk but i didn't take it cos wasn't intending to save my game) and leaving the cemetery(not intending to save, remember). i encounter a grave-digger and i inform him that ther-whatever the necromancer's dead.
Then the scene hangs. No toolbar No cursor
i can open my map, and when i do that, my toolbar reappears but my cursor stays missing
has this got anything to do with anything or is this just a rare occurrence that i can ignore?
oh and i have already installed the patch after a lot of trouble with my diskettes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Are steel scorpions that tough for you? It may have been a problem starting another cut scene before getting the final part of the scene with Jake, or it could just have been a random glitch. BTW, when you kill Jake in this graveyard, he stays dead.

Lighte, IIRC you have lightning, correct? Steel scorpions die then very quickly. About the hanging scene: Kill Jake in the cemetary, then you can save again and after that leave for the robbers.
As long as you're in the underground cemetary place the game does not allow you to save. In earlier versions leaving this place wiothout killing Jake lead to hanging cutscenes, specially the one you mentioned. Kiya

oh... guess then it further confirms the fact that this kind of thing doesn't get fixed if you installed the patch and continued your past game
so im starting anew, i guess
and expect more complaints in the future <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well, I had exactly your problem in one of the very early patch versions - I couldn't kill that steel scorpion <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> - fled and then had hanging cutscenes.
Have you got a save prior to entering the underground cemetary section? I'm just asking, because I haven't read about "hanging" prob for a long time on this forum. I didn't know this still exists if you patch up later <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Kiya

I have to tell you something about that place. It is really weird because I use the patch from the start.
I went to the cemetary, killed the jombies and the undead underground. And when I got close to Jake, he called many many undead to kill me. I was prepared for a tough battle. But I rose my sword only once and all the undead were down. All of them! I did not use magic or my special move. It was just like the game skiped the battle with me be the winner.
And one question : I went to the people who steal from graves and I did not tell them that I have killed the necromancer. I told them to go away and so they did. Is that a mistake? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
You can have my absence of faith you can have my everything...

Not sure about that. When I rose my sword I found my char. standing in front of dead bodies including Jake. There were things that I could take from the bodies such as money, rings etc, but don´t know if there was any exp points for me. Then Elona came close to me, she asked me if she could give me something in reward, but I did not want anything because she said she is poor. Then she left and I left too. Strange <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

That last part is ok. She's supposed to come say "thank you". The rest... I never heared before. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Well the same happened to me once. It was strange but it actually happened. As soon as I lifted my sword everyone dropped dead <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

They're meant to drop dead when you kill Jake. Something must have stuffed up with his health. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
