Thanks a lot for your support. I haven't found any special patch for the dvd version. And yes applying the patch to 1.34 broke the cd check but as my english version was a CD version I could use the english cd to overcome the copy protection of the dvd french version. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> But that solve nothing still the same bug.

Well I uninstalled anyway and did a fresh install from DVD, still the same Traits problem with female characters.

So I pick my courage and try decrypt the hexa post you linked. My big worry is that what he describes isn't exactly what I saw. He mentions somewhere in the file :
00000004000000000000000000000000000000A032000008000000 - wizard female

I had that but some values wasn't 0 plus I hadn't the A032. I gave a try anyway and replace as he suggest with a male version :
00000002000000000000000000000008000000 - survivor male
Then save the file start the game and load it... It worked, I get a male, probably the survivor and I had traits back and in french.

Cool cool the only think that worry me is that the initial value wasn't what he mentions. Yes I did all of that on a copy of the savegame.

That said this traits problem in french version is related to this small part of the file. I'll try dig it a bit more to see if I can continue look at a nice [nocando] and have Traits instead of having to support an ugly one just to have Traits. hehe Also if I can modify only a bit of this string and keep other and have Traits I will prefer.

All of that is so weird it's like if no french player tried a female character or quote the problem. Perhaps French prefer male asses! Weird! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Again thanks a lot for our great help.
