Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Missing Pyramid

After installing patch 1.41 I could live with the *Error* in place of quest item in my log book. But now one of my pyramids are missing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I had one on the ground by a merchant and one in my inventory. The one in my inventory is gone but the one on the ground is still there. I tried using the one I still had in hopes it would teleport me to the other. No such luck. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> The pyramids are missing in all my saves. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

I just don't know what to do now. I have hours and hours invested in game time and absolutely cringe at the thought of starting over. Can Larian fix this for me? Or am I doomed?

I read in another thread that if I were to start over these patches would work right. Or would I just be setting myself up for another game stopper with the next patch?

I don't want <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> to join my stack of "To Buggy To Play" games. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Do you have an earlier save with both pyramids in your inventory? The following procedure would probably work in BD, but I have not tested it.
Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files - written for Divine Divinity

The pyramids are missing in all my saves, and I have about 10 of them. I used the missing item work around in Divine Divinity. At this point I'll try anything. What have I got to lose.

Arianna,

I had the same problem and believe me, I tried everything. It seems the patch hosed my save games. None of them had my pyramids in them, and I had several other bugs pop up.
I've tried reinstalling, repatching, blah blah. Nothing worked.

Let me know if you have success. I'd love to finish this game but I'm not going to start over.

Well Raze the process worked and I now have 2 teleporters in my possesion. But... they don't work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> So I assume it's because I used a DD file. So maybe if I had a file from BD it will work.

I am sooo tickled <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> It seems that the patch only took the pyramids in my old saves if they were in my inventory, so I starting looking for a save where both pyramids were on the ground. I found one and following the "lost item" process from Raze's above post and the inventory from that save, I have a working set of pyramids.

in order not to lose all hope, why not check and see if both pyramids have accidentally been reset to their original start location? after all this is possible. otherwise hopefully, larian will be willing to release a fix that will reinsert the pyramids into whatever file / location they need to be so you can get them if placing them in the savegames is impossible. this is a big game breaker. especially if the pyramids are a must for certain things.

Sorry for the delay, I was interrupted. For anyone else with missing pyramids;

Teleporter pyramids (17KB) from a save after obtaining the pyramids in v1.41.

again, the procedure is described in;
Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files - written for DD, but essentially the same for BD

EDIT: this will probably not work, see below.

That works but the pyramids dont work when you use them.

I lost both mine but not to the patch, just from going from A2 to A3, this brings them both back but they dont function.

When I used a file from Raze the pyramids didn't work. But when I used the "lost item" process using the inv. files from one of my own previous saves that contained both pyramids, it worked.

I hope this makes sense.

Well this might be, but unfortunately I was most of the way through Act 3 and the pyramids are in Act 2. No way to go back.

It worked for me in Arianna's save. I'll get the teleporters from v1.3, to see if that makes a difference.

Well I loaded a Patch 1.3 save, and copied my pyramids to the new save where they are missing, same thing as the files you posted though, they are there but they dont do anything, and the game doesnt recognize that I have them.

I've been getting along fine without them all through Act 3 though, hopefully they wont be needed in Act 4 and 5 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Redoing this with teleporter pyramids from 1.3 and 1.42, it failed. I switched acts in 1.3 then saved, and re-saved under 1.42, then tried swapping. The difference may have been in the way various patches were applied or saves made. Arianna's missing teleporter was probably not due to the act 2->3 change, so maybe that is why it worked where other attempts failed. Maybe having 1 teleporter on the ground made a difference...

Sigh -- I have this problem too. Do I understand it isn't resolved yet? I'll check back to see if there's a solution posted.

With the 1.42 patch the teleporter pyramids no longer disappear entering act 3, but they are not restored if they already went missing.

I had the same problem when I loaded patch 1.44. I went back to the pit, which was unopened as if I had never visited it, and managed to go through the acquisition process as before. I was worried but it worked out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Strange... I had a German save from end of 1.3 - saved it into 1.42 and waited for the 2nd commoner => Act 3 => pyramids were there in English version 1.42.

Both were in my inventory.
