Make sure that you are applying the correct patch for either IWD or HOW, depending on your installation ala Aerich's instructions. Using the HOW patch for an IWD only installation or an IWD path for an installation which includes HOW will cause serious problems. Also make sure you install any patch(s) in the correct order.

One other possible solution IF you have a high speed connection is to download the TOLM expansion. This was a freebie expansion provided by BlackIsle and contains the latest patches - HOWEVER it REQUIRES that HOW be installed. Do NOT try installing TOLM without an HOW installation!

Unfortunately, with BOTH BLACK ISLE and Interplay out of business, any tech support for problems such as these is non-existent, EXCEPT for forums such as Ironworks!

I did a search for you on this (search under POQUELIN), and it appears that you have an IWD installlation only. If so, here's a potential fix:

Move the CONTENTS of the OVERRIDE folder to a temporary file (don't delete the folder! just move the contents to some temporary folder where you won't lose them) before the battle and then replace it after you are transported.

Installation of the HOW expansion fixes this problem.
