DLCE skulldoon bug

ok, i was in the arena in skulldoon, and i beat the gladiator, and saved my game. when i reloaded, i am now stuck in the arena because the door is closed and i cant get out. My last savegame is a long time ago and i really dont want to have to reload from that point. I know next to nothing about hex editing my way out. any ideas? can some one help?

BTW i am running DL CE

Thanks

You tried climbing out?

Several places, if not all, in any version of DL is dangerous to save inside normally locked doors.

yeah i tried to climb out, i can backflip onto one of the flaming skulls, and climb up to the rope barrier around the walkway, but from there i cant go any further. I'm afraid the only way out is with a hex fix for location, but i have no clue how to do that. Any one who might know for the ce version, i would greatly appreciate it.

This has happened to me twice. In 1.4 and 1.5. Both times occurred when i was at a low level, the first time I entered the arena, had to fight the Minotaur with the Great Crusher Mace, and saved more than once while pausing and drinking lots of potions. In the first case I found it impossible to by climbing, backflipping, etc. I had to go back to my last save game. I learned my lesson after that and I always save just before I enter Skuldoon for the first time. I also avoid saving in the arena. The conditions I mentioned above might have occurred by pure coincidence, but maybe not.

BTW Hex editing location can be a nasty affair that ruins your game. I always save differernt files as I move forward, thus I am never more than an hour away from my last usable save game if one gets screwed up.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

I actually sent my file to the hex master(don't know if he would want me to give out his name), and he placed me right outside the arena when he sent it back, so the only fix for it is a hex fix. I'm just thankful that there are fellow gamers out there who are willing to help out....

I am saving about every 10 minutes or so now...

I'm glad it worked out for you.

I have been saving at every event almost and have been incrementing up from save 01. Sooo, the count is at over seven hundred now and that's not counting numerous saves using the same number during every exploiting event I came across.
