OK, so I found out after days of play in the flying fortresses and mine areas that my dragon stone has quit working. Major bummer!

Being an avid RPG'er, I have MANY save games to fall back on, so I incrementally regressed back to the last time the stone worked.

I finally land up at the point that I am about to enter Stone's arena for the first time....the last point that my DS worked. Upon entering the arena, no more working DS. Bummer again, as I can't leave the arena (obviously, without clearing the arena and defeating Stone) to check whether my stone has failed for good, or is it just disabled for the arena sequence.

According to my saves, the arena killed my stone the first time through, and it never worked again after that.

Is this a known bug, and is it being addressed my the developers? How quickly????

Thanks!

Is there a specific method for reporting bugs? I don't seem to be getting any input by posting it here, and I want to make sure the developers see this.

This bug is a show stopper for me. I cannot play any further. This game was paid for (not pirated), as a gift, and I was really enjoying it.

Someone from Larian should see this, but not until monday, at least. You can also try emailing them (support@larian.com), perhaps including a link to the topic.

One of the Larian QA people stated that there is more involved in switching languages than just changing a file and registry entry (so some issues may be directly due to the hack), but they are keeping track of bug reports. Anything not caused by the hack will be dealt with appropriately.

There are some German players who frequent the English forums as well, but it may take awhile to get any feedback on whether this has happened before or is a known problem (some people do other things on the weekend, or only have internet access at work, etc).

Larian is currently working on the second patch AFAIK (more details may have been mentioned in the German forums; last I heard about it was a couple weeks ago). The game is being shown at GamesCon (Aug 20-23rd), so they may be trying to get the patch released by then (or at least close enough they can show an updated version of the game).

This is a known bug, will be fixed in next patch.

If you do the "normal" course, your stone should work again after defeating Stone.

Normal course:


1. enter Stone dungeon
2. defeat him first time
3. enter arena
4. defeat him second time
