Patch 1.44, English version.

I'm in Act 2. I have level 3 access to battlefields in Act 2. However, when I go to the battlefields, the "leave battlefields" icon indicates that I only have level 1 access. Sure enough, all dungeons but the first are locked. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

When I return from the battlefields, my "enter battlefields" icon again indicates that I have level 3 access.

There are 6 dungeons in the act 2 battlefields. Did you check them all?

The 'leave battlefields' skill level is one because you can only get back to where you left in the main game. Unlike entering, where different level keys allow access to different dungeons, there is just one way to leave.

6 dungeons? I only saw 4. Guess I'll look again.

OK, I found the other 2 dungeons and was able to get in, so it's my error, not a bug on the main issue here.

The icon changing to say "level 1" access when I'm actually in the battlefields is still very misleading. The explanation given that this is because there is only "one way out" of the battlefields is totally unsatisfactory. I would have to classify this portion of the issue as a bug, albeit a minor one.

My battlefield maps don't work properly, which was a contributing factor in not finding all 6 dungeons right away. When I save and quit and then come back, my battlefield maps are blacked out. As I move through the BF, large rectangles of the map open up all at once. Once a rectangle opens up, it properly displays the areas I have and have not yet explored. Also, BF maps do not zoom in or out for me at all. I have no map problems outside the BF's.

Zoom factor is not implemented for the BF areas. Opening up in rectangles is correct - guess, this has to do with the way how BF are generated.

I'm not sure where I should post this, so move me if you must

I'm having problems - me, not the game; In act 2 with the battlefields.
I have BF key #6 but am denied access..so I have trekked around and am unlocking the lower levels first, which seems to work.
However, here is my problem. In what I have decided may be #4 BF-It's the rocky one, I have completed level 1 and level 2 but am not able to find the entrance to level 3.
Knowing I have missed something, I have spent about 2 hours today going over and over the level 2 and cannot find that entrance.
Are there any maps for the Battlefields?
Any help will be so appreciated.
Loving the game so far- no complaints from me other than I am getting dizzy on this one.

The battlefields are randomly generated, so there are no maps that you would find particularly useful. Some people have had entrances appear very close to walls or otherwise be mostly obscured. At least one I recall had an entrance placed in a room with no access.
AFAIK the level 6 key should open all dungeons, without needing to do them in order (though I've only been using the BF for the traders).
