Well.. i wanted to continue my quest on my new PC..

But.. well.. i installed it properly, i installed the latest patch (1.34) and.. i copied my old savegames folder to my Run directory..

I start DD, it loads, i get the main menu, i choose load game..
i select my saved game..( 1.33a version).. and.. it gives an error saying
Div.EXe has made an error and has been shut down..

I'm running nvidia 44.** drivers and win 200 SP4. Also do i have Direct X 8.1(from install CD)..

Please help me.. i really want to finish this game(had to stop because my previous PC was too slow..:( )


Thanx

Think there are problems with the 1.33 version savegame if you are to run this on the 1.34 version game..
Try installind <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> with the 1,33 patch and you will be able to finish your game... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How did you copy the saves? If by CD-R, the game opens the files in read/write mode, and crashes if the files are marked as read-only. Select all of the files in the saved game folders, right click, select Properties, then clear the read-only check box.

If that wasn't the problem, check the number of files in the saved game folder. Missing files might cause the game to crash when trying to load. A new game should have 22 files, after going to either Verdistis or the Dark Forest it should have 27, after going to both it should have 32, after getting to the wastelands it should have 37, and after getting to the Black Ring dungeon it should have 42.

Is this after a backup and restore of the saved games?

No, i just got this game this week so i am just starting out. after saving a few times i crashed so i thought i would just be able to reload from my last save. so i go to load up and the "loading" bar gets to about 5% and then i revert to desktop

my computer information:
1.33GHz Athlon Thunderbird
384Mb RAM
soundblaster live! 5.1
GeForce Ti4200 128Mb( the older 4x AGP one)
Windows XP up to date with updates and service packs


Edit: i am also running DirectX 9

Does it crash when starting Divinity, or when trying to load a game?

If when loading a save;
[*] Check the number of files in the saved game folder. A new game should have 22 files, after going to either Verdistis or the Dark Forest it should have 27, after going to both it should have 32.
[*] Can you start a new game and save/load that?

If when starting the game;
[*] Did you reset the configuration when the game started the first time after the crash? (there should have been an error message recommending this) That would eliminate one potential problem.
[*] Try running a Scandisk (right click the drive in Windows Explorer, select Properties then the Tools tab, and click the 'Check now' button under 'Error-checking status'.
[*] How much free drive space do you have? The FAT32 file system (mostly Win 9x/ME) is fairly susceptible to errors in the listed free drive space (the game can crash if it runs out of space trying to save), but you are most likely running NTFS.
[*] Maybe an un-install / re-install as per the troubleshooting link would help?
