Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Council of Seven crashing......

I've been playing the game for about 3 months now,with practicly no problems (great game,really should have goten a bit more acnowlegment),now all of a sudden after I went in the Cancil of Seven ,goten the quests to get all the members ,and have gotten most of them there (elf,orc,human so far) ,but now if I try to to teleport back to Council of Seven the game just simply crashes to desktop (I can teleprt everywhere else in the game no problemo).I am using the latest patch and am not using a cd crack either.Any sugestions would be greatly appriciated,as I would love to continue playing this kick @$$ game.

Do you have any problem teleporting to Verdistis? The information for the council hall and Verdistis are both kept track of in the same files. Did you try Verdistis to the council hall?
Do you have any recent saves you can load and determine when the problem occurred?

Someone else had a similar problem trying to leave Verdistis, and fixed it by replacing a couple of the files in the save (world.x1 and ??) with versions from a working save.

If you try one of the methods in the posts below to teleport into the council hall, does the game still crash? That may bypass the problem, or not.
FIX for the Missing Catacombs Portal
or
Teleporting Anywhere, via hex editor

use the hex editor (very long tho)

Thanks for the replays guys,turns out that a renistal solved my problem,well now I am at the end of the game (just entered the snake temple where the summoning is happening) and the game crashes as soon as I take few steps into it,every time at the same place,this is driving me nuc.

Did you see the cut scene? If not, that could be what is triggering the crash. Try running the configuration program and switching to software mode, and maybe reduce the resolution; that helps with some cut scene problems.

Thx for the suggestion,tryed channging the resolution to everything posible and using software rendering,the game still crashes just when I am guessing the cut scene is suposed to start,so no I havent seen it.

If you have no-cd hack: remove it. It conflicts with the video it has to show.

Pheew,just finished the game,had to reinstall again,played for a while then crash again than reinstall twice more,so I rushed as quickly as posible thru the last area to avoid any more hair puling reinstalls. End was interesting (but why did my char do what he did?),anyways thx for helping and I really hope Larian irons the engine a bit more for the next game that uses "Divinity" engine.Thx again.

To setup the sequal? See endgame
