Save Game Bug

Remove all ads!

This will definitely remove the extra variables, but it may mess with the dialogs a little (making dialogs come up when you have already had them, and such), but you could go into ShadowKeeper and delete all of the variables, except those with names that you can recognize, that should help with dialogs and such. It should get rid of all the extra people loading in your games.

 

Jsut shoot the d*mn thing! Sorry Slappy , I hope you find a solution soon!

 

Thanks again everyone. I think I'll give it a real bash over the weekend when I can spend some time on it. I like the idea of deleting (destroying) all the variables (sounds like a job for Minsc. I'll make a back up first of course.

 

Final (?) update I didn't get to spend too much time on this over the weekend (I blame Duskai and others for keeping me amused in the chat rooms for too long). Anyway, I didn't manage to find the cause of the problem (but did manage to cause the game to keep getting into diaogue loops) so have decided to just perservere through to the end of this run through with the bug intact. I've nearly finished in the underdark so not much further to go.

Thanks everyone for all your input (and yes I have bought the first wheel of time book to read during autosaves)

 

Good thinking!
Buy the other books already, because you'll like 'em!
I'm in the fifth book now and it's great!

 

nah nah

read the Drizzt ones by R.A Salvetore

give you some good tips on the Underdark if you read the Dark Elf Trilogy. One of the best sets of books i have read in a long time (apart from LOTR which will rule for all eternity in the books of all time).

 

This will probably be my final update on the subject. Those you've been following will remember that I decided to just put up with the slow load times and play through to the end of this run-through. Well, progress has been a bit frustrating especially on the -'run back and forth between auto save points' quests. I did manage to avoid some autosaves by by using the console command 'movetoarea'. Anyway, I am now ready for the final showdown with a certain vampire and the game is taking 45 minutes + (I give up at that point) to load. So I think I'll give up. Maybe one last go over the weekend - get it to load while I have a bath and breakfast or something.

Anyway, the point of the message is to warn future travellers - if you see this bug developing you might want to just quit and start a new game, unless you can handle 45 minutes loads.

 

Just a quick update with some good(ish) news. Since my PC upgrade I have managed to partially overcome this bug. I now have 256mb ram (up from 128) and this seems to help the loading and playing speed. The game is still painfully slow to load and then play through Bodhi's lair but it is now possible. Once you get out of there it then speeds up considerably. It is still sluggish but playable. Anyway, me and the girls are now off to take out our anger on Irenicus.
