Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Help, tha game crashes to windows at random places

Yes I can understand, plus that I would like to play every bit of the game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

well i certainly hope that works for you cuz quite frankly... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> it was a stumper! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

IT WORKED! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> Woohooo...
Finally, Raze made his tricks and found out that the problem was in the story.* files. So he gave me some files that work I replaced them with mine, I entered the castle, and before I do anything else, I replaced them again with the originals!
And so far its going well.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

WheW!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

NOOOOOO! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> The nightmares are coming back!
After we fixed the problem yesterday, I played the game a couple of hours(saving normally without any problem) and then I went to sleep a happy man. But today I have another story. I cant load any saved game neither from yesterday nor from any other day. Yesterday after I did everything Raze told me to do, to make it work, and played it a bit, I saved it and quit the game in order to check if it loads normally.And it did! So whats wrong today? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Gremlins??

Try deleting all of the files in the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\Dynamic' folder...

While its loading, when the proccess bar is in the end, it crashes to windows. I did try deleting all the files in the dynamic folder but still the same. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

What I also did was, created a new game, saved it, quit, then tried loading it and it was fine. At that point I tried loading my normal saved game and failed (crashed to windows again). Now trying to load the new game I created and again failed. It looks like something is corrpting all the saved games. The difference is that the new game when tries to oad it, the proccess bar doesnt even start as ooposed to the other saved games that reaches the end and then crashes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Check the number of files in the save folders. Can you try a save on a different system?
I still have the save you sent me, that I can email back.

I have 22 files on the latest saved game folder. I'll try my saved games on another system as well. I have the saved game I emailed you(on a CD) as well.

The number of files is correct, anyway....

Im having this same problem but it happens to me when I enter doors in the first town. Just started playing the game. It doesnt happen down in the catacombs just in town. It also seems to be random. It crashs to windows giving me the "div.exe has encountered problems..." message. I tried all the video modes and screen resolutions only to find the same response. But what is funny is this wasnt happening last night but its happening today.

Is there a glitch with the sound just before the crash? Try turning your sound hardware acceleration down a notch (click Start | Run, type 'dxdiag' and hit enter, switch to the Sound tab). See;
Roofs’ fade-in/fade-out crash

This is an old topic before the forum server/domain was changed, so any links to "lariancom.siteprotect.net" just have to have that part of the URL changed to "larian.com" to work properly.


Try deleting all of the files in the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\Dynamic' folder.
This folder is used as a cache for the game. Files are created / copied there from the save game folder when you load, and written / copied from that folder when you save a game. The files will be re-created as required the next time you start Divinity. If there was a corrupt file in that folder, deleting the files should fix the problem.

Troubleshooting Tips (& manual install procedure)

This is right the problem I fought and I won! Just when your process bar is in the end, move your mouse around a bit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

Oh man I hope you dont have the same problem I have. For the last 10 days or so I've been trying to solve it and it just wont go away. Mine started like yours, one day it was fine the other it wasnt. Something seems to mess up with my saved games and possibly the story files. Still havent figured out what it is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Yes the game has a funny sound when it crashes so ill tell my dad who is playing right now(likes to take the comp away from so he can play)that this may be the problem. He also change the display drivers this morning. Well thnx for the advice and I hope you get your mess figured out Boubounas.

Ok changing the display drivers has seemed to fixed the div.exe error but it still crashed once but without the noise or the error just went straight to the desktop. By the way the video card im using is radeon 9700.

Hi you, it seems that not only you have this problem whit sudden crashes. I have also a similar problem ... i can go inside the dwarven-king's throne room but if i want to get out and get my equipment back the game just crashes and goes back to windows ... also i have another problem but i dunno if it's a real problem ... my ghostresistance (i dunno if this is right) ist -100 , and poisonresistance is 100 points to much ... and if it helps with the crashing-problem, I tried to put my hole equipment in front of the throne room and got in and also out... but it had crashes when I was putting on my equipment again. I dunno what's wrong with my game ... but I can't go on ... I have to go to the dwarven-king for the permission to enter the dwarven-mines. Plz I need also help <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />


Sry if my english isn't very well, I'm a german ... so plz forgive me^.^

Toss a teleporter stone into the throne room, and you can teleport past the guards. If you are a mage, you can use the swap places special move with one of the guards inside. Alternately, you can use an area effect spell that does not need a target (such as Poison Cloud) to kill them without a reputation drop (cast the spell near them, but not directly on them).

For your resistances, it looks like you drank a super drug potion. The effect wears off after a couple hours (I'm not sure the exact time).


Welcome to the forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Thx for the fast answer, I will try it in a moment. And also thx for the problem with my resistance, I didn't know that the drug-potion will have such an great effect ... so enough of writing ... I'll play along now ... exploring the mines of the dwarves ;P

And again thx fo all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
