Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Errrrrrr, whats up with this wierd stuff:(

Ok I played through teh game fine with my mage. Now I restarted as a survior, and Ive encountered two things so far which dont let me play. First was in merchant town under veridas. The one merchant that sells books and scrolls, name starts with a K. Well anyways when I try to buy from him, I crash to desk top, dont even get to see what he has. Second when I load into veritas, It wont let me SAVE or go back to previous area, even if I say yes.


Whats going on??????

maybe this helps? Sounds as if your saves are corrupted.

Raze, Verdistis, tech help
Check the number of files in the saved game folder (in '..\Divine Divinity\Run\savegames'). Missing files might cause the game to crash when trying to load. A new game should have 22 files, after going to either Verdistis or the Dark Forest it should have 27, after going to both it should have 32, and after getting to the wastelands it should have 37.

Ahm, I've got rid of problems after deleting according to Raze the content of\Divine Divinity\Run\dynamic and then defragmenting my partition. I had a few problems with test saves/corrupted saves I wanted to experiment with.

Thx kiya, Ill try razes tip in that other thread, and report back.

Errr didnt work:( ...itll suck starting over, sosidering this time I spent more time getting good gear and money.

I dont see why the tome sellar crashes me, I never even knew he was there when I beat the game with my mage(he woulda made it a lot easier)

About Verdistis, have you counted the files? Raze mentioned a certain number (27)? I'm sorry, but I found no new help besides the links and sublinks in my previous post.

Before I deleted I had 38:\, now I have 38 again...And this time ive only been to Main area and V...so shouldnt I have noly 22~~?

Actauly I should have 27.....raze or kiya, is it possible for one of you to list each file, after being to all 4 places(37files). The 38th file it puts in mine could be the one messing it up?

Errr, well nevermind My save game folder does have 22:\, and since I cant save when entering Ver, it will never have 27:\

These were my files when I stood in front of the Demon of Lies

[color:"yellow"] so the files specially for Verdistis are:
extfree. x0, x1
map.v0, v1
objects.x0, x1
shroud.x0, x1
world.x0, x1[/color]

If Dark Forest comes: those 5 files are added by x2 or v2
Wastelands is with x3 or v3
and the end dungeons are x4 or v4

Can you save immediately before entering Verdistis? The game will disable saving if it thinks it is in the middle of a cut scene. After taking a couple steps in Verdistis, the guard should wake up and start a conversation. Does this start and end properly for you?

As for the crashing with Kistandalius, try deleting all of the files in the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\Dynamic' folder.
This folder is used as a cache for the game. Files are created / copied there from the save game folder when you load, and written / copied from that folder when you save a game. The files will be re-created as required the next time you start Divinity. If there was a corrupt file in that folder, deleting the files should fix the problem.

After this, try starting a new game and see if the problem persists. Use iZakaroN's SaveEditor to bump up your constitution and run to Ars Magicana, save and try talking to him (and maybe see if you can save in Verdistis). If not, try your latest save. If the new game works, but the latest save does not, there may be a problem in the saved game folder itself. If neither work, it may be a problem with Divinity, in which case re-installing might help.

Troubleshooting and Manual Install Procedure

Ill try the new char thing. Well I can save right before pushing yes to go to ver, but once I go in, I cant. Yes, I walk a couple steps and the gaurd talks to me, but i still cant save afterwords. Ill respond if it works..

Ill try reinstalling, and repatching now:\. Nothing has worked so far.

Ok reinstalling didnt help, and ive went back through with all my characters to check!NOW none of them can do either of those two things. sigh:(
