So the enemies decide they want to attack me now instead of ignoring me as I kill them. Great! I go to load my save game, and now the game quits to desktop. Try again - quit to desktop. Any solution? This game is one of the buggiest I've ever played on first release, and whoever approved it for release should be embarassed at the poor job they did. Oh, I've given up on using the battlefields. Dungeons unpopulated... and now there's no boss monsters in the most recent one I went into.

Try deleting the files in the dynamics folders; '..\Beyond Divinity\Acts\Act1\Dynamic', '..\Beyond Divinity\Acts\Act2\Dynamic', etc.
These folders are used as a cache for the game. Files are created / copied there from the save game folder when you load, and written / copied to those folders when you save a game. The files will be re-created as required the next time you start Beyond Divinity. If there was a corrupt file in that folder, deleting the files should fix the problem.

Someone else with a similar crash problem found that they could start a new game, skip through the DK's conversation, then load the previous save without crashing.

Unfortunately this didn't work. I can go back to an earlier save but it's quite a way back - since earlier save games got corrupted as well with all the enemies standing still and not attacking. But loading this earlier save will at least get the game running, though I can't be bothered to play through the same area again which would take quite some time. I'm waiting for a solution or a patch....

the moral of the story is "save often"

i sympathise. i've had to restart a different game, Prince of Qin, 3 times because of game breaking bug issues. hopefully we don't find this happening here. thanks for the heads up about the quicksave. as a general rule i never use it, for some reason, but now i definitely won't. the abandoned level 2 and 3 battlefield 1 dungeons was disconcerting enough.

Quicksaves are good. Using quicksaves as the only, or primary, save method is not so good.

And there was me thinking that the purpose of the quicksave, and having 5 of them, was to make saving a quicker progress. Now I can't play the game at all. If there's no patch to fix this by the end of the week - Friday - the game's going back. It's been more trouble than it's worth.
