Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Small game?

Hi all,

Ok, I am probably doing something stupid but I have no idea what the problem could be. I just bought the game and can start it no problems beginning in a bedroom with a storeroom next to it (something like that). The problem is whenever I try to go up the ladder to get out of these two rooms nothing happens. The character goes up and disappears, but the screen remains the same. Its like a new area should be loaded (or it should scroll to follow the character up the ladder) but nothing happens and I can't find my character anymore...

If anyone knows what could be causing this pls, pls pls help!

Thanks
Stew
