Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Loading Savegames results in ctd

I just reinstalled Divine Divinity due to my hard drive being broken, however i was able to save all my files including my divine divinity savegames. However after installing, running the patch and loading either of the two savegames at the end it would crash to desktop. No version difference. So what can it be ? (not sure if it matters but i had just copied the savegames directory as backup).

Hi,

Did you copy the savegames from a CD to your harddisk?
Then it could be that the read-only flag is set by Windows, preventing Divine Divinity to open these files for writing. Clear the read-only flag by right clicking on the files, selecting properties, unchecking the read only flag and then clicking on apply.

No allas it was from hd to hd, so it can be writen. However i just thought what might be it, as i had to format my pc i've got a different directx (8.1 instead of the 9.0a i had) and a older driver, so i'll try updating those tomorrow to see if that matters.

Yes, could be...
Please let us know the result.

Hope it solves your problem.

Ah i already found out. As my install suffers from two corrupt .rar i have to extract the files in there manually, however in this case i extracted one folder to far, causing the game not to see them and not to be able to play. So mistery solved.

Great! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Have fun playing!
