I recently found out Divine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> from a friend and got interested in it so i borrowed it before i buy my own copy. I installed and configured it smoothly. The problem is when i start playing the game, the sword loading in the loading screen didnt appear but the game loaded. After Selecting a character, I went to a dungeon full of torches. The objects that supposed to be in the room (bed, barrel, worn out sandals, ladder, etd...) is not visible ecxept for their texts. Can someone help me with this?

my system is an old one but still good enough to play this game (i guess <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> )
Duron 750Mhz
512 PC-133 SDRAM
10 GB Western Digital HDD (7200 rpm)
GeForce 4MX 440 64MB RAM
Windows XP PRO w/ SP1
directX 9

Were there any error during the install? It certainly sounds like one or more files are corrupt.

It installed without any errors. I also installed the latest patch (1.34 english) but the same problem occurs.

The installer doesn't necessarily catch and report all corrupt files when they are extracted. There is a file verification procedure in the link I posted before.

IIRC, there are only a couple torches in Joram's cellar. Do the walls and floor appear to be displayed properly? How about the game menu? Can you see the mini map (hotkey M) or auto map (hotkey A)?
Sometimes having caps lock (or num lock) enabled can cause a problem going up or down ladders, etc.

walls are replaced by torches. the floor is good. I tried manual install but the problem still persists. i'll try to use the CRC checker first to further isolate the problem. pls. continue posting further solutions just in case <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> thank you.

Someone had that exact problem with torches in the old forum. IIRC, I think it was due to a corrupt file, but don't remember any details from that topic.

if you could remember the old forums' title, or even better the solution, it would be greatly appreciated. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

The old forum is no longer available. The Larians updated their software and server, and I don't know if they are still planning on bringing it back online (there were problems with the size and/or stability of the database).

Someone (want credit?) had the old forum ripped to CD, and searched for this. They found one topic with this problem, but the person never replied to say which, if any, of the suggestions helped (basically, the suggestions were to delete the files in the dynamics folder and try re-installing the game). I must have been thinking of a different topic when I recalled it being identified as a corrupt file.


Items replaced with torches, posted by Ryppe in the old forum;

Ok, I don´t know how to start really.. Well, for starters.. This game is one of the greatest this year, my gratest thanks are directed towards Larian. Thanks!
On to the boring part..
It´s a really wierd thing actually.. Some stuff ( a lot of thing) in the game. The graphical images of items and small thing like hay-stacks and pots and so are enchanged with torches(!). This is really annoying Most items dropped my a recently slayed monster just lies on the ground, and since it´s a torch, I can´t pick it up.
In the beggining of the game I did not notice this at first. But it became obvious when the entirle wall on Stormfist Castle is built with TORCHES! Even the images for cave openings, ladders and most area-exit-activators are also torches.. this results with that I cannot exit or enter certain areas. At first this was hillarious, but now.. it´s really starting to annoy me since I have done all the small thing I can but to continiue in my quest I need to visit some areas that are closed at the momemt becasue of the torches.. What is this bug? Is it only me that suffers from it? Can I fix it? If so, how?
If I should post information on what version I use and so on I will do it if I get responce on this thread.

well i have the same problem.
Sometimes when enemies drop something, its a torch and i cant pick it up. Most of the items in the doktors cellar are torches.. included the cure flasks.. but i can pick those up.

Now i need to steel sir patricks deed (with the levers) and i cant do it because the levers are torches and i can only switch em once :-(

Guess its a bugg or something.

Greetz,

Buzzex

It really sucks when great games like Divine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> are filled with so many features like bugs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> After so many installs and reformating of hard drive, I finally had DD work. And I have to buy my own copy just to get it work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> . Anyway, thanks for all the help you gave. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
