Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Wastlelands/Council of the 7 BIG PROB!!!

After I bring together the 7, and ring the bell they (the 7) kill me. Then Janus comes in with his 4 death knights, and the two guys and the 2 chicks. They kill eveyone but the wizard. Then I am tranported to the black area beyond the edge of the map of the council of seven. That's it, shouldn't I go to the wastelands at this point? I have a little life, and I cannot move. Everything around me is black, and I cannot see myself, only my marked position on the map. Though I can use potions, and look in my inventory, etc... Help appreciated, thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

sounds like your using a no-cd patch.

no-cd doesnt work at that point in the game.

replace the no-cd'd executable with the proper executable.

and then continue playing.

Yup... If you have a copied version of the game, you can't play past that point.

If you are using a no-CD patch then I posted a way to get around this (No reinstall needed) without having to reinstall Divine Divinity. Unfortunately this does mean having to use the "standard" exe file with the CD for the cutscenes (intro, after the gong and the end) but you can run the rest of the game without the CD.
