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,
