Same question about the rather confusing note:
"There was a problem in patch 1.4 with the regeneration of the inventories of traders. Because of this problem after some time the game crashes. Patch 1.42 fixes this but because of a technical issue it's impossible to totally upgrade savegames made with version 1.4. As a result, some magical items which are lying on the ground might lose their properties when applying patch 1.42."
Does this mean objects I placed on the ground, objects in areas I have already been in, all objects on the ground for the remainder of the game or what?
Trying to decide whether to restart or not, and I'd rather not, but I certainly don't want to never have a magic object on the ground again.
