Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Would it give trouble when i install a patch?

No, your maps will not be black again.

The black map bug was a potential problem under certain circumstances in the 1.33 patch, which was not available that long. The current/last 1.34 patch fixed that problem, so you should not have any issues installing the patch and continuing with your existing save.

If you want to play it safe, you can zip your saved game folders, install the patch, and then and un-install / re-install without the patch if you run into any problems. Each save is a separate subfolder in the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\savegames' folder.

errr im actualy far in the farmlands so...
and thx raze but im not that good in computers so i dont now how to do the trick u told me but if u say so that it will not happen i will install the patch then

Just FYI, to zip files/folders in Windows XP, you can open Windows Explorer, browse to the location, select the files/folders Right click and select Send To | Compressed Folder. You could also just copy the saved game folders to another location, but compressing them would save space. To extract files/folders again, you can right-click-drag-and-drop the zip file to a folder and select something like 'extract here' from the menu that pops up when you drop. Alternately, you can double click on the zip file to open it in a folder view, then select the files/folders to extract and copy them.

For Win 9x you would need a third party archive manager (ME has a very basic extraction function built in). In most cases they add options to the context menu mentioning (un)zip, archive or compress/extract. If you do not already have one installed, see this list of freeware archive managers.

err, wow ur great with computers raze
i knew it from before but ur real good with it
probaly something easy for u but you can see u got skill

It wasn't easy at first, but there were enough annoying 'features' in Windows to motivate me to search tips and tricks sites, etc to find out how to add/remove/change things. Then I started playing around with various programs and utilities, sometime to fill a specific need, sometimes just to play. After that, a hard drive crash (and related problems) encouraged me to learn about hardware....

Huh so u dont do computer stuff for ur profession (to make ur living)?

I have had computer related jobs, but I learned about computers primarily by tweaking, fixing and upgrading my own computer first.

I'm still waiting to hear if your patch worked or not? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
