bug?

Post by jallis »

hi everyone! after i killed rayic gethras and went to collect my reward from renal, i couldn't initiate dialog, "he appeared busy". i loaded from my previous save, killed the bastard again and then it worked. well, now i'm having problems with mae'var. it's the same thing! i wiped out him and his guild and after a half an hour of battling i went to collect my reward, and again the guy was busy. i tried to load and fight the battles again, but it didn't work!!! i don't want to fight them again!!!!!! is this a bug or am i missing something. if this truly is a bug, then i think my adventuring playing baldur's gate is over.
i would really preciate if someone could help me. it's truly a shame that this is a very good game, but if it has so terrible bug then i won't play it any further. PLEASE HELP!!!

Did you download and install the latest patch?

i'm sorry to trouble you, i'm a newbie. i am truly amazed you answered so quickly. i guess this game is truly a classic, so many posts flowing in every day even though the game is so old! this forum has got quite a lot of gaming history in it. it feels like i'm standing before an altar of knowledge! ;)

Yes, the "guy is busy" thing is a very common error that occurs on certain systems (I know Windows XP is one such system but I can't remember the others), the latest patch very specifically says that it corrects (or at the very least tries to correct) this bug, so your game should work fine now.

Seeing that threads like this pop up almost once a week (no offense to jallis), perhaps it would be a good idea to make a sticky thread just for the "apperars busy" problem ;)
