So it happens again. During the Cult of the Unseeing Eye Quest the same bug as discribed below in an earlier forum post happened again. As everything about the quest is finnished underground and I go up to the Sewers and there things are partially reset and the fog of war is back. Im really frustrated about it happening again and i dont want to play it all over again without knowing if it will happen again. Last time i replayed froam an earlier savegame, but this time its a lot of playing time back where teh bug doesnt appear and i cant really know if it will happen again.

Can anyone help me?

Origanal post:

Hi, im playing a multiplayer game with 2 of my own Characters. After solving just a few quests in the big city i went to the de'Arnise Keep with Nalia in my party as well. After ive entered the keep and slayed a few Trolls i got out on the front to lower the Drawbridge and get the assistance. After the fight i re-enter the hold and suddenly the fog of war is back. As i explore it the monsters are back to. I thought it was just some minor bug and I finished the Hold Quest and got to be the new Lord of the Keep. Afterwards i returned to Athkatla and the Fog of war was back here to and quests seemed to be partly unsolved.* Also in the Adventurers Mart and other shops the items sold are reset to the state before player interaktion and the bonus merchant from the patch is no more.

Does anyone know a sollution to this?
I have the latest patches installed ande the G3 fix package installed, nothing else, no cheats or other mods.

I would be very gratefull for any advice since I really want to replay the game again. Thanks // Gustav

*Example: at the circus fromt the guard tells me he is gratefull for dispelling the illusions inside and grants me the extra reputation, but as i enter the circus is under the illusion as before solving the quest. If i try to solve it again (all monsters and the main Villian is there) it doesnt work and i get trapped inside the circus with that goo

I would try a reinstall as there us obviously something wrong. If you've only got the official patch and G3 tweaks I really don't know what it could be. Your saves should work fine on the new insall as long as you install the same stuff. I'd go with a full install the the official patch and then the G3fix pack.

Hmm.. If im correct you reinstalled the game already, after the first time the problem appeared? If not, try to do so (worry not, game saves shall remain unchanged)

If this wont fix your problems, then i would blame (check) hardware / drivers. Im not familiar with BG multiplayer (never managed to get it working...) so cant help you much..

But you should try playing the game via single player mode, and just adding your second character with CLUAConsole commands.. To CTRL + Q (recruit cheat) to your party. That's what i do when i want to play with many chars, and playing single -MIGHT- work?

tested

tested reinstalling but the bug still happens with the old save, can anything be made to get the old save working or do I have to replay?

how do I do if I want to check hardware and/or drivers?

could try playing it single but that doesnt help me with the save just (perhaps) in the future...

Hmm.. Try doing this.

In your BG2 folder there's "mpsave" one. Enter it, and copy the folder of your last saved game into regular "save" folder (if you dont have one yet, create it in BG2 directory).

Run a single player game and load the copied save game. (thats basicly how you turn multiplayer chars into single player)

See if you still have the bugg.

thx for the tip, but have already tested it, no difference

Try clearing your override. I had a similar bug once, with the partial area reset, and this helped.

hm...

Gues i should try but wont that corrupt the game otherwise? Or inflict other changes?

Edit: Gues i got my answear, if u do that u cant even start the game. U sure that was the sulution?

Yes, it was the solution. You could try deleting that specific area-file.

well as said if u delete them all the game cant start... about deleting a specific area; wich area? Havent been everywere, but outside everything seems to be corrupt so then should all areas be removed?

Try deleting the Temple District. You can get its code if you are standing there and press "x", to get your location.

Temple District is AR0900.
Sewers beneath temple district are..
AR0701 i believe.

Other then that..


AR0201 Ghouls village under Temple District
AR0202 The Unseeing Eye Cult Hideout
AR0203 Temple of the Forgotten God -- Amaunator (Unseeing Eye Plot)
AR0204 The Forgotten Believers -- Temple City (Unseeing Eye Plot)
AR0205 The Beholder Hideout (Unseeing Eye Plot)
