Hi there,
My spec:
Winxp pro
P4 2.4GHz HT
Gigabyte 8IPE1000 (865 HT chipset with dual mememory)
x2 256Mb 400MHz DDR
128Mb Leadtek A340 (FX5200)
Sblive Audigy
I have updated ALL areas: Including WinXp SP1, critical updates, latest sound and graphics drivers, version 1.33, and then 1.34. Even the mb and graphics BIOS....
This is my story of woe and misery:
Originally the game worked when I first installed it, but it suddently started crashing. When I clicked the divine divinity executable (via the shortcut or in windows explorer), the game would come up with a dark screen and then crash to the desktop.
I spent the whole of yesterday uninstalling and reinstalling, and finally in desperation, I reinstalled my whole computer (with updates). The game started ok, but now when I go to start a previously saved game, as soon as I click the saved game in the load window... the game crashes to the desktop. I also started a new game... same problem!
I AM TIRED OF REINSTALLING!!! I AM SICK OF THIS BUG INFESTED PIECE OF S*%T!!!
Really, I never complain about a game, and with a collection of nearly 300 games, I have never had a game give me so much grief. It seems I wasted my money here. Even the old bug infested, and complained about "Crimson Skies" works perfectly....
Yes, I have read the other comments about saved game issues, but none have helped. Anyone care to come up with something new, besides telling me to move on and play something else.

I forgot to mention...
1. I have DX9 installed.
2. I also deleted the saved games and tried new ones.
3. I also had the WHOLE +/- 2.3Gb previous installation backed up to another "backup" computer on my lan, and copied the old saved games back (same version)... but they also didn't work.
4. After doing a fresh install, I even tried copying the whole "run" folder back after it gave problems.
Actually, if it finally "worked" I am thinking of not playing the game UNTIL there is an OFFICIAL patch to sort this out... how many of you spend days on this game, and then suddently have a problem and can't finish. Thankfully mine has only been at the start of the game.

Anthrax....maybe there is a crossreferencing of the dX files....why do you have two different versions of directx? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> snobee.....did you check read/write permissions on the files that you copied? have you both tried configuring DD with no smoothness, and no test? apply and close... the DD configuration tool is not the best in the world, and could be part of the problem! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> hope this helps! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I don't play it in XP, I play it in 98 with no troubles at all, directx drivers don't even know that the other exists as the os's are on completely diferent hard drives.... I think that it maybe a direct x 9 issue!!!! but I'm not complaining as I can Play the game without crashes on 98 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I use Win Xp... Never had a crash.
I have DivX 9, btw. I remember I had the same error in Operation Flashpoint when I simply undercloaked my PC a bit in System Bios and the crashes stopped.
Snobee, you do have the last DD patch, don't you?

Deathatthedoor: Yeah, I have updated everything... that I know of.
I finally tried a 1.34 crack executable, instead of just the original... and it worked!!! But, my joy was rather short as whenever I attacked one of those drum warrior ork guys, the game crashed. The solution was to obviously not attack them, but then I came across some guy who I decided to fight in a boxing ring... the game crashed each time I went into the ring.
Well, that basically did it for me. There is no way in hell that I am going to play a game where I am just starting to enjoy it... and it crashes. Next thing it will crash at a point that is critical to the plot. I am disappointed. I don't know if I am wrong, but is it Larian Studios who developed the game? Well, I think I will stay clear of that name after this.

this couldn't be another noCD thing could it? or by copying, did you check that the files were not read only? i too have had my share of crashes, black maps, hanging on exit, monsters in the walls , but i still play the game too! I found most of my problems come from the config tool....and that playing with the settings to get the best results usually works..... except i still can't exit while the game is paused...i've got to walk a step or two then choose exit......or "freeze mister" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> despite all it's drawbacks, which are relatively few....i really enjoy this game... and will continue to enjoy this game ...that is till <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> and <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2 comes out....then i will have a choice of great games to play...... quirky or not..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Hmm... Why will someone use a No-CD crack unless he doesn't own the original game, eh?
I won't flame no one, of course. Yet it would've been easier if you said you didn't have the original. Of course Larian wouldn't like that, would they?

f**k off death!!!!! I own the original game!!!! I paid good money for it. What right do you have to say I did not buy the game!!! You didn't even read my post properly!!!!! I VERY kindly told to you I had tried ALL means to play the game. THEN when YOU, the twit from hades, asked me IF I had applied the latest patch, I politly told you I had, EVEN though the stupid [nocando] should have known the answer after reading my first post. WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT LIKE THAT. ALL I BLOODY WELL WANT IS A BIT OF HELP FOR A GAME I REALLY WANTED TO PLAY!!!!! IN MY DIVINE DIVINITY CD BOX THERE IS A FAN-MERCHANDISE REGISTRATION FORM, WHICH ALSO CONTAINS A FORM FOR A $4.99 DIVINE DIVINITY MOUSEPAD, A $2.99 DIVINE DIVINITY PIN, AND A $2.99 DIVINE DIVINITY POSTER, THAT MAY BE BOUGHT. DO YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THIS? BECAUSE I OWN THE BLASTED GAME MOR0N!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

snobee, please take it easy... I can completely understand your frustration and we are very sorry for this. Please contact the Larian Support: support@larian.com It's very hard for us to follow the technical problems in the forum. Furthermore this is actually not the intention. We prefer that you take contact with us via email. That way, you'll get a faster answer. If you want, you can still email our support, and explain your problem and what you already did to solve it. Give your systems specs, patches you applied, and maybe have a look if there's a file called error.txt in the Run folder where you have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> installed, that might contain very helpful information. Hope you are still willing to contact us. And again we apologize for the inconvenience.

IN MY DIVINE DIVINITY CD BOX THERE IS A FAN-MERCHANDISE REGISTRATION FORM, WHICH ALSO CONTAINS A FORM FOR A $4.99 DIVINE DIVINITY MOUSEPAD, A $2.99 DIVINE DIVINITY PIN, AND A $2.99 DIVINE DIVINITY POSTER All I got besides the manual and CDs was a registration card. What is the pin like? Is this through CDV? They currently have merchandise for other games on their site, but not for Divinity (of course).

Thanks, but if he told me I am, I should be one, no? I mean he wouldn't say it unless he was sure I was, would he? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Why is he so angry if he owns the game anyway? If it worked once it can work again!
