Sorry to bug again, but I have a question. Last night, I was in the Cursed Abbey and my game froze. I could hear the sounds of my character fighting(and dying) with the numerous creatures that were chasing me. I also could not CTRL ALT DELETE my way to the desktop, or use the Windows key. I had to do a hard boot of my computer(the reset on the front of the computer would not work either), but that was not the main problem.
I loaded up my last save game(which was Quicksave 2), and the loading status bar got half way through and then crashed to desktop. Thinking that this file was corrupted, I deleted it and tried my other Quicksave file. Same thing. I was starting to get worried, so I tried a non-quicksave file, and it did the same thing. I tried a new game, and it seemed to work, so I wondered why my save files didn't.
I checked out various threads here(man, there is a lot of good info!), and just decided to uninstall my game and see what happened(I did NOT want to start over, and probably would not have done so). I backed up my save files before doing so, and then uninstalled it. After reinstalling the game, I patched it to 1.34 before trying it again. It WORKED!!! My save files were not corrupt, but the game somehow was. Daphne lives again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
I realize that this is a meaningless post, but perhaps there is a moral to it. Backup your save files frequently, just in case! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
