No no no. My problem was this:
1. Installed english game and hotfix.
2. Played all the way to Verdirditis.
3. Cleared most of Verditis, did a lot of quests.
4. Jumped back to base in Aleroth. Saved.
5 Got new patch installed.
6. Played a while all looked fine but..
7. As I returned to Verditis ie. a non-Riverton map all was black fog again, locks relocked, chests restocked. Quests stayed done so I couldnt return to Merchant guild Library since I had used the key and so on.
8. Looked around a little in town and left.
9. Played on and some saves later I returned to Verditis and the fog was cleared as I had left it at point 8 above.
So it was a one-time thing caused by the patch yes. Luckily I wasnt at The council quest or the game wuold be f#¤%&d! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
You know, I think that the english patches is second-rate : that is the german version gets all pro attention and then they put an english-speaking temp to fix the english one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> [color:"yellow"] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> I take this silly statement back since Larian Studios seem to already looking into the english patch. Still there have been some threads where English users complains about problems German users can not find <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> [/color]
Still a great game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
