Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems 1.34 Patch causing corrupt saves

I played the game for a week before I found out there was a patch. So i got to the website and download the 1.34 patch and apply it.

Now randomly when saving the game choses to just not save all the files. My good saves have 22 files in them. The corrupt saves have 2 or 3 files.

This happened with a game loaded from before patching AND with a brand new game.

This never happened before the 1.34 patch.

One odd thing I noticed when applying the patch is that it doesn't ask me for the file path to the game install even though the text on the patch install says to hit back to change it.

Do you need to d/l the patch to the Divine Divinity folder and run it from there or does it find the install? I've tried both ways now but with the randomness of these faults it's hard to tell if it worked this time without wasting an hour of my time Q-saving and Q-loading.

My System:
P4 2.0gig
1 gig RAM
Asylum GeForce FX5600 256meg video w/ latest Detenator drivers.
Win2k

thanks for any input anyone might have.

Nevermind that comment about installing the patch from the Divine Divinity directory because just after posting this I was doing quicksave quickload testing and it faulted out again.

I have a saved game that I played and saved during the patch previous to this most recent one.

I have not attempted to load it up and play with this newest patch due to the warnings about corruption.

My character is 20th. I could just start over. Is this the only way to be sure I wont have a problem?

yes, it should, just restart over, delete ur old files, and all. or reinstall the game, and delete the files, I'd due that.
