this is not the only probem you might run into with the release version. There are quite a lot of bugs into it.
I would stongly advise you to get the patch and start a new game.
For example: In verdistis the game slows down (bug), some quests are more easily broken (Tingalf quest as an example and so on...
If you have a chance to get the patch, get it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
