I am confused. How do I install the patch then? I thought dowloading it and opening it with winzip was enough. I am not that technically savvy so forgive if this sounds retarded to you. As far as the magic world, I am in the scene where the jugs are and also the imp house. I already went through the gate, killed all the wasps there, walked up the steps to the house and tried opening the doors both with the key I have in inventory and with lockpick level 5 and none worked.

Then you don't have the key. Try walking around with CTRL pressed (not ALT) and see if any valid targets appear. There may be a wasp trapped behind something.

Ok when you have downloaded the patch just click on the symbol of the patch at the place where you have put it on your computer. You do not need winzip at all for this.

Afterwards an install manager should pop up. Just follow the instructions.

BTW: Do you have a savegame before entering the imp world? If yes try to replay from this point.

The patch is an executable file, so you just have to run it after downloading.


Did you follow the procedure in the Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files post, especially saving under a new name and backing up your original inventory files?


There are 6 keys and 6 jugs in the imp world, but almost everyone has one jug which remains locked and an extra key.

I installed the patch but nothing has changed. I pressed the ctrl and alt keys and there are no hidden targets nor any objects on the ground. I do have an earlier saved game but I will have to play 10 days in a row to get to where I am now. I am so disappointed but I may play from there anyway. I just hope I don't have more problems.

I tried following the procedures in the lost item guide but I save in the same folder (not a new one) because I did not care if I lost some items. I just wanted to get the key to the house. But again, after I opened with WinZip and saving in the saved games folder of divine divinity nothing changed once I got back to the game. I did not have a key for the house. I had the extra key that did not work to open that last jug just as you mentioned.

Raze, do you have a hex-teleport for inside the house?

"I tried following the procedures in the lost item guide but I save in the same folder (not a new one) because I did not care if I lost some items."

Even all the equipment you were wearing, and possibly quest items? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
When you switch back to the game, you need to re-load in order for the change in inventory to take effect.


"But again, after I opened with WinZip and saving in the saved games folder of divine divinity nothing changed once I got back to the game."

Those files need to to be placed in the specific saved game folder, ie '..\Divine Divinity\Run\savegames\NameOfSave'.



"Raze, do you have a hex-teleport for inside the house?"

Yes, and I offered by PM to do the required hex editing if Cvmiami wanted to email me the data file.

Since the link is broken, here's how to fix this: load a save before you killed Ragon, then either land the killing blow on him or at least damage him yourself instead of using purely summons.
