A fatal bug near the end (***SPOILER***)

    [​IMG] *** SPOILER ***

    Hi, I have a problem in the Fortress Of Regrets. After convincing the Transcendent One to merge with me, there is probably supposed to be some in-engine cut scene. However, the view slides to the right and then down, to the black area. Nothing happens after that, the show ends here. All controls are disabled of course.

    I'm using the 4CD version and I have tried it unpatched, with official 1.1 patch and with the latest unofficial patch, with the same results.

    This is the second time something tries to stop me from finishing this masterpiece, the first problem was entering the mortuary before going to the fortress. I didn't try dying (my mistake), and so I left the game unfinished for several years. Now I have the 4CD version and THIS happens :)

    If anyone can help, I'll appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    Actually at this stage you should get a "movie" cutscene, not an in-game one.

    I'm assuming you've tried rebooting your system and the problem still pops up. Also, there are several paths you can take in the conversation to convince him to merge - do all of them end with this same problem?

    If none of this works, all I can think of is to copy the CD to the hard drive and make sure none of the files are corrupt.

    Sorry, can't think of anything more useful.

    Thanks for the reply.

    There is a movie cutscene, right after the conversation. Then the Nameless One walks to the right, the view scrolls with him. When he stops, he probably casts some spell, and the view still scrolls until he's not visible anymore. Nothing happens after this.

    I've tried two paths in the conversation leading to this situation - trying to unmake myself by my will, and telling him I know our name. No difference.

    Even playing from my HDD didn't help, it looks like the CDs are ok.

    Yep, he's casting a spell, and this should be followed by dialog. I suppose this is a problem with the script for this cut-scene not playing properly. I have no idea how to fix this though, sorry. You could try quitting the game and deleting everything in the cache and temp folders. Other than that... technically you should be able to finish the game by a method that doesn't involve merging with TTO (as they shouldn't trigger the cut-scene), or alternatively get someone else's save game from the Fortress roof and see if this bypasses the problem. I can't find my savegames, so I can't help you with that. Sorry!

    It's been a long time since I've looked at the game files, but you might be able to find the movie in your files (e.g., with Windows Explorer, if you're on a windows system) and run it from there, so you can at least see it.

    It's in a proprietary format, so no you can't.
