Heart of Winter - no disc in drive error

Post by gvorkl »

I recently bought the Icewind Dale 3 in 1 box set. It has been running beautifully. I also installed Heart of Winter. After almost completing the first part of the game, I have tried to enter the 'Heart of Winter' part and I get the error 'Icewind Dale No Disc in Drive Place DVD in drive.' I have tried both disks but neither work. I bought the game new just a couple of months back (August 2011) from a reputable game store chain in Australia.

I did an internet search on this problem and it seems to be common. Usually I can solve game related problems quickly, but perhaps because the game's original release was so long ago, I cannot find a clear solution. I understand I may be able to fix it by editing the icewind.ini file

After playnig my way through most of Icewind Dale, I was really looking forward to the Heart of Winter part ....

I would be very grateful for any help!!!

I remember that I had some kind of problem with HoW discs too...it was very long ago but as I recall it had something to do with a patch(trials of the luremaster?or not?sorry I dont remember)...

apply the latest patch or try rolling back to an earlier version if you have the latest patch

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I bought this new and very recently. It is still being sold as 3 in 1 box set. It says in the notes it includes the version 1.42 patch. I cannot find any more recent patch on the internet.

It is very frustrating as the whole game ran perfectly until I tried HoW.
