I purchased the game over a month ago and started out fine but at one point in the very early game it suddenly would not let my characters transverse beyond my current screen. So I set it aside for awhile.

Yesterday I updated to the latest patch and today started from where I left off but was experiencing the same issue I had before. So I went back to the Main Menu, reloaded, and all was fine again.

Then i found the body of the guy who thought he could fly, had a brief dialogue with my partner, picked up the rain scroll and now I can't move out of this screen. I can't even return from where I came.

My system meets the recommended specs. Is this a bug or is me as player failing to do something? Thanks.

Did you try left clicking and holding to move the characters (in the direction of the mouse cursor) as well as clicking on the ground (to move to that spot), possibly after using WASD or the arrow keys to move the camera focus away from the characters (the Home hotkey will recenter it on the lead character)? There is a setting in the options to allow moving the camera by hitting the edges of the screen with the mouse cursor, as well.

Thanks Raze. I figured some of it out like holding down the center scroll button on my mouse so that i can get the 360 degree camera rotation. It seems when the game first loads both characters can move along together by simply using the left button without having to use WASD but as soon as I select one to do something I am then forced to use the WASD keys in order to move into another area.

One other thing that has nothing to do with this issue and it is this: When attempting to put a scroll in a slot for use I accidently placed it in one that already had a learned spell. The spell has disappeared. Where does one find the spells that come auto with a created character so that I can put it back? Sorry for the noob question.

Either hitting the Home key or clicking and holding the left mouse button to move will recenter the camera focus on the lead character.

To replace or add a skill icon on the toolbar (there are 5 you can cycle between, using the arrow buttons to the left of the slots, or the R and F hotkeys), open the skill window (hotkey K, or there is a button under the character portrait), select the skill catagory and then drag and drop the icon to a skillbar slot.

Hey man I REALLY want to play this game!!!It has been 3MONTHS since an update can you PLEASE at least LOOK into WHEN an Update will be out or released???PLEASE I don't wanna hear there is NO ETA No offense,but that spin tactic is getting OLD. You work under these people!!! If I worked for them, I could immediately walk over to the technical department or e-mail them from my comfortable desk,and secure an answer within 3 minutes!!!Look tell us the TRUTH am I waiting for NOTHING??? Because that is what it seems like. If Indeed there is NOT going to be an update than LET US KNOW!!! You may be able to appease MOST if not ALL of the people you fool on this forum;however, I am NOT one of them!!! Never have I been so humiliated, and tricked into purchasing a product by gimmickry and false advertising... Yeah Larian may have won so many awards for DOS ee, they fail to advertise however;that this product was filled with problems and bugs which would prevent you from finishing this 60 dollar gem!!! Lets be honest for once, if the game came with an admonishment as such, Larian wouldn't have FOOLED so many such as myself to run out and procure this bug filled if NOT otherwise Bad ass Rpg.As a matter of fact...NO ONE would have bought this product!!!

I said just less than a week ago "In another week there will still be no ETA. At some point there will be an internal timeline, with a great deal of approximation; at that point, there will be no ETA. When testing starts, there may be an update on the patch process, but there will not be an ETA. If near the end of the release process Focus lets us know a date they are fairly sure the patch will be released, then there may be an ETA."

If you worked for Larian there would still not be an ETA. You would not get a different answer. There is no ETA because there is no ETA. It is not spin. It is not a question of asking the right person. There. Is. No. ETA. That is a factual and accurate statement of reality at this point.

You have not looked at the support forum for that perfect game, more complex than D:OS but released 100% free of bugs or any issues, that you're not at liberty to mention the name of, have you? Do that, or an online search, and maybe that'll provide a useful perspective so you won't take this so personally.

I read all the posts in the forum. It really isn't necessary to reply to other topics to get my attention, and I'm not going to miss anything based on the reply to field (which I generally don't even look at anyway).
