Help! Cannot go back to docks district-have save file

orgolove · Post by **orgolove** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 12:20 am

Hey there.

I have NWN 2 with MotB and SoZ. Patched it to the latest, and began playing the original campaign. My OS is Vista 64bit, and graphic card/HDD space was is more than enough.

Everything was going smoothly. The City Watch building burned down in the docks district, and the City Watch there told me to go to Captain Brelaina's office in the Merchant Quarter.

So I did, talked to him, watched the Lord Nasher scene, then went back to the transition beacon.

The world map loaded fine. I clicked on the docks district, then pressed "travel."

The game loaded all 11 of 11 modules, then crashed, with the only message being "This application has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc etc.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Neverwinter Nights 2\nwn2main.exe caused an Access Violation exception in module nwn2main.exe at 0023:005f4e16.
Read from location 3c3c3c3c caused an access violation.

I would appreciate your help in either telling me how I could go about fixing this, or just download my save file and go to docks district with it, then re-upload it to me.

Please. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't help with the access violation, but I can offer up a few things to try... if you already did, than sorry for being repatative.

1) Try dispelling any animal companions etc. before traveling back. I've noticed that there are some random areas where having an animal companion will cause the game to crash.
2) There may be some side quest associated with one of your companions that isn't loading properly... try sending them all away before hitting "travel." If it works you can pick them up again later.
3) Try rebooting your computer.
4) If it's not too far back, try an older save... yes I know it's annoying... been there done that.

If I have any success with your download I'll let you know.

Thank you so much.

I tried the reboot and tried going back to an older save.

As I'm not to experienced with NWN2, I don't know how to "dismiss" a companion...

When I went back to the older save, I did try swapping out the sorceress for the dwarf, but same problem occurred in the same place.

No companion had an animal summon out. The game had been working perfectly fine up to now...

This may sound stupid but try this - make sure that only one of your companions is selected before you hit the blue in order to initiate the world map and then try traveling somewhere else, and not the docks. Then if that works, then from there, try going to the docs. Also, sometimes the graphics options can help - check no shadows and then try. Sounds odd but it helped with some of my problems.

I just tested this.

And it seems like there's something wrong with my game as a whole!

Every transition from the world map, whether I go to the merchant district, shandra's farm, or anywhere else, whether it's from this particular save file or another save file, the game crashes after loading all the modules!

What could be the problem?

I tested for a long time, and it seems like there's something wrong with the merchant quarters more than anything else. Even from a completely different save, when I go to the merchant quarters then come back out, It has the same problem. Hmm...

Guess I can't play nwn2 anymore. Oh well... gotta return it.

Oh, and here's the error log...

Can anyone please try out the save file on their computer and see if you can leave the merchant quarters via the world map into anywhere else without crashing?

THat's all I ask... if someone can do it, then I know that I can try to reinstall the whole thing before I do anything rash...

I don't have SoZ right now, so I can't help with it I am sorry.

Hmm, the fact that you can't go anywhere else is not so alarming - sometimes the game allows you to go to only one place - like from Ember to the Gith caves - if you tried to go anywhere else, the game would close then too.

You should definitely go to the official NWN II forums, and post this as well. Maybe there is someone there who can help you out. I found solutions for quite a few of my problems there.

Or, you can copy your saved games somewhere safe, uninstall the game, install again just NWN II then patch that, then install MoB and SoZ and try returning your save games and playing.

I thank you for your help...

I mean not that The game isn't mechanically allowing me to not go anywhere else... I mean that the game crashes whenever I want to exit the merchant square via the world map, in such a way that:

1. I click any destination, any 1 from just the dock district to the farm to the high cliffs.
2. I press Travel.
3. Each part of the module starts loading (according to the lower left text display)
4. You know that whenever you enter a new area through the world map, it goes something like " 12 out of 12 loaded, module unloaded, module loaded, module location updated 1 of 2, 2 of 2"? The game crashes just after the "12 out of 12 loaded" step...

here's the link of the save again.

Anyone, with all 3, please help me...

... If no one wants to download the save file, would it be possible for someone to upload just one of their save files within neverwinter? Right at the beginning when you arrive? I just want to see if it's a problem with the save file, or if it's a problem with the game itself...

Please?
