Encoutered 1763 in VoS

GaryH · Post by **GaryH** » Sat May 04, 2002 8:12 pm

I have encountered a 1763 error and tried to fix it using the UK patch downloaded from Interplay's website. However, after installing, it does not seem to correct the error.

Detail of problem:

I'm currently making my way through the VALE OF SHADOWS and discovered when I entered 1 of the crypt (area 2 on the walkthrough to be specific) which was crucial to enter to get a key, suddenly, the loading bar stops! It seems to me that the cd-rom is trying process the data, but somehow is unable to do so, when I removed the CD and replaced it again, the game shuts down, PROMPTING A 1763 ERROR. Hence, I am unable to proceed on.

Would appreciate help
Thank You

First of all do you have IWD or IWD and HoW installed?
1.Is the cd clean? No scratches etc? Also is the patch the latest version?
2. Try deleting the files in the cache, Temp and tempsave folders, they sometimes get corrupted.
3. If that doesn't work, save your savegame files and try a reinstall.
If I think of any other suggestions I'll post them

First of all, there's only 1 patch and no other versions of it could be found. I've tried reinstalling the game but still to no avail....... argh!!!..... thanks alot anyway.

I was doing a little research on the error you mentioned. It seems that it's not uncommon. One of the other things mentioned was to reinstall using a different install version (if you have full installation, try mininmum or if you have minimum try full).
Someone else with the error installed the 1.06 patch and the UK patch(he had the UK version)
Another person returned the disc to the store and exchanged it, apparently the disc itself was corrupted.
Sorry, I wish I could be more help.
edit: the error seems to be a corrupted file according to the troubleshooting on BIS

Hmmm, i've also tried that. When I initally installed, i encountered an error when I chose the full installation, hence, i only managed to install using the recommended installation.

Anyway, I think I could skip the area.....if I could get the code to create the key, i think thats possible right (CHEATERSDOPROSPER: CreateItemXXX)?... The only thing is that i'm missing the code, do you happen to have it or something?

Thanks again

The code you want is KEYGATE

Pls help....damend fed up! I've changed the discs, but still, i encountered this error!!! i've tried installing the uk patch and 1.06 patch as well. I'm currently in Black Wolf temple level 1, approaching level 2, however, the loading screen hangs when i entered the door... is there any remedy on this, is there anyway which i can teleport myself to level 2?.. i.e, using the cheatersdoprosper thing? or something like that?

Thanks again for the trouble...
