I was thinking, yeah, I did email support with my proof of purchase and emailed a saved game, which whom are on vacation until the 22nd. Then I thought, wait a minute, because I was unfortunate enough to purchase the retail dvd version of DKS, this means I have wait to play, while anyone who purchased their game(s) through digital download (steam) gets this Developer addition right away, via able to progress to the next level beyond Maxos Temple Dome.

Because this is the only support that is available until the 22nd, I think that someone in this forum must have enough pull to allow me to download this developers cut.

Please have mercy on my soul. I am going through serious withdrawals, you know, dt's, seeing snakes, thinkin of going back to Diablo 3

I know Larian usually has a pre-set summer vacation (they aren't really big enough to have people off at different times), but they specifically said there should be another beta this coming week...
Maybe when they pushed back the release to Aug 6th they didn't change the email auto-reply settings?

I'll email the person who handles most of the support; even if he had plans that couldn't be cancelled, there would still be someone there who can deal with this.

You will not have to wait a week.

Thanks for that, Just blowin off some "Steam".

Just wondering, this glitch, was it dealt with in the updates that I installed for DKS. Did they ever fix this with an update or patch?

The earliest report of this bug that I could find was shortly after the last patch for DKS (though there may have been earlier instances that didn't show up with the keyword combinations I tried), and AFAIK it wasn't specifically addressed in the D2:DC release (though the Developer Mode cheats provide an easy workaround if it is encountered).

Would that mean it just does not happen to everyone. You would think more people before that would have experienced the block. To bad no one can decode edit the save file.

Yes, it is (apparently) random, and relatively rare. For example, one person mentioned their first character got stuck, but they were switching back and forth between two different characters, and the second one didn't have a problem.

Just as a foot note, I cannot find the crystal skull to finish my necro-creature. I covered every square millimeter of that map.

It can be found in a mine to the south of the fortune teller. In the camp outside there is a cutscene with a dying miner; the mine entrance is at the back of the camp.

Thanks Raze for all your help. they sent me my modified saved file and link to get the developers cut. So no I am playing again able to progress.

For some reason, that mine, when I killed the creatures inside, they never dropped the key or skull. And, the 3 abominations only appeared in Sir robins storage, but when I killed them, they did not dropped anything.

Anyway thanx again.

You can use the Developer Mode cheat window to give yourself the crystal skull, if you wish. If you leave it until you take over the battle tower, you will be given a crystal skull then if you don't already have one (though would miss the quest in Broken Valley).
