Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Huge problem!

My resistances are screwed! they're all around -300000000 this sucks! Any monster can kill me now using a lightning or whatever spell!

I'm now lvl 42 and just became the divine one when I found this about my resistances <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

I did carry a weird pike, which kept draining my stamina too, could that be it? is there any way to get my resistances back to normal?

Thanks in advance,

Vince

The halberd is one part of your problem (it's incredible how few people can imagine *cursed* items <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) but unfortunately the other half looks like a bug.

Wait for someone with more knowledge than me.

Hmmm... did you exploit the Charm bug (opening the charm panel of a weapon twenty times and then putting in an overload of charms)? Because that was the problem for me. Good thing I had saved before that...

I'd suggest you check your Autosave and Quicksave slots. If you're lucky one of them will be from before you got the problem. If not, you'll have to reload another save slot...

I didnt cheat with charming or anything, and I only have 2 savegames, the quicksave and a normal save, but that is from the same date/time as my quicksave <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Is there any way to "cheat" my resistances back to normal?

You ran into the very bad resistance bug, which is very well known to us.

You have two options now.

1) download the latest patch !
The problem is that you would have to start a new game, as savegames before can´t be used anymore. On the other hand is the release version full of bugs, which almost all are cancelled out with this patch.


2) edit your stats (resistances) with iZakaron´s save editor .

Good luck! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Edit: @ Alrik: you really don´t know more about this problem? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />, there must be 20 threads about this in the forum... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

I can't download the file <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> (the editor, not the patch)

Rar archive is corrupt or something, can anyone mail me the files in that rar?

vdinkela@hotmail.com

thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Unfotunately this wouldn´t work Angeloonie! Hotmail has a file size limitation of 2 MB as far as I know... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

if it's smaller than 7,3MB ( <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)total, can you mail the files to [email]da_Raptor@hetnet.nl?[/email]

- Vince

@berhard : Well I know it, but it's hard for me to explain and I don't keep what made it happen the solution for that in my memory. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Just tried to download the file (I personally never used the editor), and it doesn´t work for me as well... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

But, Try Dad´s item editor and give yourself an item with +400000... resistances...

Hope this one works.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

when I try to open my items.000 file, it gets stuck at 71% <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />:(

this suuuucks so bad, I wanna cry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

is there no way at all to keep the savegames?

This is quite sucky though, I've never seen a game where you couldnt use your savegame after a patch..

- Vince

Also something you might try. If you have a skillpoint to spare, put one in magic barrier. That should get rid of the problem too.

Or look for the latest patch on this site.

"This is quite sucky though, I've never seen a game where you couldnt use your savegame after a patch."

Actually, the patch will fix the resistances retroactively. There is no need for any hacks to do so.
Some of the story fixes and changes in the patch only apply to new games, but the technical fixes and changes work for previous saves.

There was a bug with removing a piece of equipment with a Magic Barrier bonus if you had not already learnt the skill.

The save editor topic also has a working download link to a zip file.

but I still have to start over again...

right?

- Vince

"but I still have to start over again..."

No, the patch should fix the problem in your current save. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

I'm going to have to kill you if it doesnt work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

edit:

It worked! Magic!!

Marry me!!!!!!


Weeeeee!!

Should I try to kill all the imps for goodies or just skip them? (funny, I only take 5 hitpoints worth of dmg from their attacks, if they hit me at all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

Oooh!! don't do that we need good Ol' Raze for our problems; the man is a walking talking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> library <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />




Geez don't you hate when someone post while your typing a reply with 2 fingers even <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Angeloonie;
I didn't get any good loot from the imps, besides gold charms I didn't use (YMMV). I think the only equipment I upgraded in the wastelands was my sword (found the Sword of Gods) and leggings (bought a set from Kroxy). If you are in the mood for a killing spree, go ahead; if you get bored, start skipping them.

MeaCulpa;
I usually reply in a new browser window, then refresh the original topic before posting (though even then someone can get in ahead of you). I think the record is 3 posts all made within the same minute. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Already got 3 of those orb thingies <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Btw, what is this about upgrading the dragon armor?

You mean, when you get it from patrick, and go to Grischa along with the dragonheart gem? Or...

- Vince

VERY BIG SPOILER ON DRAGON ARMOR SET

In my previous post, I meant upgrade as in replace with something better.
