Bug: Fog of War and Monsters back and Quests partly undone

Post by Bescheid »

SPOILER! Small one about Circus and de'Arnise Keep perhaps, the parts with criticall info is made black


Hi, im playing a multiplayer game with 2 of my own Characters. After solving just a few quests in the big city i went to the de'Arnise Keep with Nalia in my party as well. After ive entered the keep and slayed a few Trolls i got out on the front to lower the Drawbridge and get the assistance. After the fight i re-enter the hold and suddenly the fog of war is back. As i explore it the monsters are back to. I thought it was just some minor bug and I finished the Hold Quest and got to be the new Lord of the Keep. Afterwards i returned to Athkatla and the Fog of war was back here to and quests seemed to be partly unsolved.* Also in the Adventurers Mart and other shops the items sold are reset to the state before player interaktion and the bonus merchant from the patch is no more.

Does anyone know a sollution to this?
I have the latest patches installed ande the G3 fix package installed, nothing else, no cheats or other mods.

I would be very gratefull for any advice since I really want to replay the game again. Thanks // Gustav

*Example: at the circus fromt the guard tells me he is gratefull for dispelling the illusions inside and grants me the extra reputation, but as i enter the circus is under the illusion as before solving the quest. If i try to solve it again (all monsters and the main Villian is there) it doesnt work and i get trapped inside the circus with that goo :)

PS. I'm swedish so my English might not be perfect but I hope the issue I have comes out right..

Give it time. We're not a huge board, just an enthusiastic one. ;) If you really need an answer in a few minutes, go check out the Bioware BG2 forum.

I had the same problem with circus about 20 dead Melissans ago. To the point.

You have only the fixpack installed now aye? Was there any other mod / patch / baldurdash EVER installed on your current BG instalation?
When two mods / patches aint working with each other, simple uninstalation may not be enough to fix the problem.

If you had any other mod installed earlier on (esp. Baldurdash!) you may need to reinstall the game.

"Nice" that someone had the same problem atleast. Since I installed the game new this time I only have the official patches (one SoA and one ToB) installed and the G3 Fixpack (only Core Fixes). So there shouldnt be a problem, or? I have full install btw but that shouldnt change anything.

PS: sry about me being hasty just looked like people, really did get answears fast here :) . Great forum anyway thx

Hmm.. Have you, by any chance, installed SOA patch after you upgraded the game to TOB? It causes many problems.

In any case, since you have only one mod, i would reinstall the game. Make sure to perform a full instalation (it realy makes a difference and maybe - just maybe - it was the reason of your problems?) and maybe pick scripts fix option from G3 fixpack aside from core fixes.
