Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Suggestions Game Ruiner Bug found

I've never played Divine Divinity without cheating. Well, each new game is clean... until I save and edit. I'm happy there's an item cheat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

wow do NOT use this trick if u do look at your resistances lol mine was
-36521

That's a separate bug from wearing armour with the resistance skill (can't remember the name). Get the patch. That will fix it.

im not gonna use a patch (still playing without one single patch) because
then my save game will be broke and then i have to start all over <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

then im simply not gonna wear that armour

Freaker, why will your saves be broken? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> This is only the case for German gamers, who have the original version under 1.0.

If you have the English version, you can patch safely, as this came out in version 1.29. Though I'd still go the safe way and back up your saves on a different section of the PC additionally => just in case you encounter probs.

Wait!! Don't forget to zip and save a copy of your savegame somewhere else before patching.....
black map <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> back, ohhhh, it was painful... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

No, Jurak, this only happened if you had patched in-between and saved. Wait, what was it? From 1.31 to 1.32? Or from 1.32 to 1.33?

lol
but still i dont trust a patch midden in the game so i can do without it
that armour is stupid anyway the only thing i regret is if u dont have
the patch u cant kill the boss with scorpions or freeze and that stuff

(i realy dont trust the patch midden in the game if i was going to restart
another game then i would instal a patch, im so afraid il lose my save game.)

But if u can promise me that i wont have to start all over il instal the patch
the patch is good because u then can kill the demon of lies with freeze and
such stuff

so can u promise me that kiya???

You will not have to start over. I started the game under v1.29, installed the 1.32 hotfix after breaking Finnigan's magic lockpicks, installed the 1.33 patch when it came out (never encountered the black map problem) and completed the game under v1.34.

The suggestion to backup your saves before installing the patch was just in case there was a problem, but that is unlikely.

so if i install the patch and i continiu to play (save ,kill and so on)
there will be no problem ??

im scared because of this i dont now what it exactly means but...

Please read the following carefully: If you apply the updated patch and load savegames made prior to v1.33 you will encounter no more problems.

If you had loaded savegames made with v1.33 after starting a new game with v1.33 you will also not encounter any problems.

If you have made a savegame in versions before v1.33, then loaded that savegame in v1.33 and saved in v1.33, that savegame is potentially corrupt. The best thing is to revert to one of the savegames made earlier with v1.32 or before.

could someone explain that 3th part <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Some of the fixes and changes are only applied to a new game, but there should be no problems with an existing save.

There was a possible problem with the 1.33 patch, but that was fixed in the 1.34 patch. Since that patch version should not even be available any more, you will not run into that problem.

can u plz now then give me a link to the latest patch or something plz???

link: 1.34 patch

BTW, the black map bug in v1.33 involves;
[*] installing the 1.33 patch
[*] loading a save game from an earlier version and saving it again
[*] in some cases this could result in one or more of the world.* and/or shroud.* files not being written to the save game folder
[*] reloading a save with these missing files would result in the game using the default file versions
[*] since the world.* files keep track of items on the ground and quest opened doors/hatches this could cause problems (locations could be resealed and quest items possibly removed), though there were several workarounds for these problems.
