HI,

I have just got to the point in the game where all 3 artefacts have been collected to complete the dream area, but all the NPC's apart from LB are automations. I read the walkthrough and need to meet siranush, who is nowhere to be found. I don't know if some how the weird copy protection is activated, I answered the monks questions right and fedabiblios questions correctly.
Does anyone have a savegame I can download at this stage of the game? Thanks

(using latest version of exult)

eek. Sounds like savegame corruption to me. Try going into the npc editor and looking at some of the npcs you should be encountering. If they've all changed into npcs in the editor then you'll probably have to revert to an earlier savegame.

Just a thought for the developers, could the savegame corruption be something to do with attempting the Gorlab Swamp under a certain set of conditions? The only time i've encountered savegame corruption, the corruption occured just before/at the same time as i entered the Swamp.

Oops. That should read "If they've all changed into automatons".

Yes, it could be due to a problem in the Gorlab swamps. But isn't this the first report of savegame corruption there? Seems like most of the others involved Cove in BG, although I think we fixed that one.

AFAIR the other time we had a problem there was not a corruption but sth else that got fixed.

Yeah. I experianced a problem with everyone exccept Julia in Cove were Wislem the Gargoyal. But when you talk to them... they are sherry the mouse. Im going to start it over and see if its fixed.

Hi,
thanks for the info, i went to the NPC editor, and siranush is not there. I think I'll have to revert to an earlier save game.

I just loaded that savegame, and Siranush is right where she's supposed to be. She's NPC # 182, btw.

I do get the empty buildings, though. I'll see if I can figure out anything about that.
