Summoning problem...

Hi...

I have an annoying problem...whenever I cast a summoning spell (with Jaheira or my Sorceror) I can only summon 1 monster - if I try to summon more, the game tells me that I can only control 5 monsters at a time...well - since when did 1 become 5? The only reason for this - as far as I can see - must be that I've left some summoned monsters in various areas of the game - even if you rest they won't disappear until you return to that place...if you know what I mean? E.g.: I summon 4 earth elementals, and then leaves the place - they wont follow me. Then I rest, but the elementals doesn't get unsummoned until I return to the place where I left them...So what if I have some monsters somewhere in the game waiting to be unsummoned? Will they ever disappear? I know it's gonna be hard to find them again...

If anyone has a solution or has experienced this problem/bug, please tell me...

i've never had that problem- occasionally the game tells me i can only summon five monsters but i've summoned more than that- i think it doesn't apply to different types e.g.4 ogres and 2 ettercaps. also i think they disappear whether they're in the same area as you or not after so long. possibly a bug in your game?

There is certain areas I have had this problem.

The way I fixed it was to delete the cache.

this will fix some of this...but some places like the House where Anomen goes to get revenge for his sister has always keep the Fire Elementals summon there. I have always had to sleep and come back here to get them to unsummon.
