Here is the relevant quote for my problem:
If you have made a savegame in versions before v1.33, then loaded that
savegame in v1.33 and saved in v1.33, that savegame is potentially
corrupt. The best thing is to revert to one of the savegames made
earlier with v1.32 or before.

Now,ive updated to this damned v1.33 very early in the game and ALL my savegames right now are from that version.Im standing in the council of seven
room,ready to hit the bell of gathering.After i do and after all the cutscenes
i get the black map problem,described in v1.33 bugs...Cant move or do absolutely anything.Im basicaly screwed here because i have no recent or non
recent savegame before v1.33 to revert to.This is making me real angry,i've played the game over 2 weeks,spent many hours each day on it,my mage is very developed character - he's almost level 37 even before hitting that bell...
Im actualy considering sueing the larian studios over this,unless they can offer me a reasonable solution,because i've payed money for this and ive spent
A LOT of my time on this and i should be able to finish the game,thats what i paid the money for...
Right now my request to forum users is: before i go on trying to resolve the issue with the developer team,maybe someone would be kind enough to share their
savegame just before becoming the divine one? Im real anxious to see the devils of the Black Ring smirk
Thanks

hello. welcome to the forum. actually this problem is not uncommon, it may be different, but do you have a no-cd hack, that is one of 2 or 3 reasons that happens.

ah, same time Carrie, sneaky <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for welcoming me,and yes - i do use the no-cd patch,although i wouldnt call it a "hack",because hack is something illegal and im simply playing my game without the cd,not doing anything illegal or breaking any copyrighted laws...If you say it could be the reason for the black map screen,the question is if i go back to playing with cd (i've only replaced the div.exe with patched one) will it solve the problem? And if so,where can i get updated div.exe for version 1.34 ? ( i've overwritten mine)
Thanks

your welcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


We just call it a no-cd hack, or some people call it a no-cd crack, though it does imply you hacked it on, many people do this who have not stolen it, they just (like you) don't want to use the disk, I was accusing you of stealing it. just try puttin ghte disc in, if that doesn't work, reinstall it (your savegames should stay, if not, you can put them to a floppy or save them to harddrive).
Raze should know more than me about the maps.

when you installed your cd crak did it not make a backup copy of div.exe somewhere else?

if not zip your savegame folder and move it somewhere else and reinstall.....
really quite simple!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

That did the trick!
Reinstalling and not using the no-cd patch worked,i got the divine one movie after hitting the bell of gathering and i was able to move on!
Thanks y'all for the help <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
