"Clicked on Upgrade menu Freeze"

Apparently it is time related, or at least not just saving.


"Installed game + patch + without running divinity
399 files and 22 folders"

You are missing a couple files from a fresh install. I deleted the files in the dynamics folder after running the game when I checked for differences.
Did you try my CRC files to verify your install? Maybe it is just a couple shortcuts missing, but that could also be part of the problem.


"Deleting files like you suggested, making copies and replacing them does not work."

I didn't think it would, but it was worth a try to make sure.
