Crashing in the Jungle

Post by Apollo17 »

My IWDII game has operated without any major problems until the point of getting into the temple in the jungle of the "crossroads". At different times and places in the temple a message pops up stating assertion error: "shield equipped with bow", and then it crashes completely out of the game. Then I need to start again from outside the temple and go back in.
(Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to equip a shield and bow!)

When I save the game from inside the temple, I cannot load those saves later on. The same message appears before it crashes.

I have the version from the Ultimate Collection, so it should have the 2.0 patch.

Any ideas what could be causing it and what can remedy it?

thanks

The latest patch should fix it. This is an issue that was fixed by the official patches.

Or if you need a workaround (because you don't want to patch for some odd (read "apocalyptic bone guard") reason), make sure that when you put on the apprentice robes as disguises, you never have a shield equipped anywhere on a person with a bow or crossbow. In my first time through, I just removed all shields.
