Hey Jpaul76 here is the thing thing, they went right on to develop DOS2 when they should iron out EVERY nook and cranny with DOS!!!!! Before this occurred , I absolutely adored this game to the maximum capacity and believed it to be one of the most masterfully created RPGs or games for all that matters,of all time!!!. However; I can no longer praise a game in which I can't complete. Most certainly I will not honor Larian as a reputable company when they indeed endeavour to release insipid drek, without first putting customer satisfaction at the very top of their priority list, and instead are overtly concerned with quantity rather than quality. I also have been made to wait for a particularly lengthy time increment and told by raze to send my save files to them and told he would have a programmer look into it.....this was a while ago. Just recently he told me that again, only THIS TIME he said the programmer told him NO expected TBA??? MAYBE there WOULD be a NEW patch if they would put ALL of their programmers to WORK on the problem that we keep writing about and STOP working on DOS2!!!!! Perhaps then a solution would magically appear. Ill tell you what though,to do that isn't worth it to THEM, to fix an ongoing problem isn't worth the effort and time it would take to nullify the problem and satisfy two customers. That is the truth of the matter.
