Buglet - character selection - inactive characters?

Mox · 02-05-2002, 04:25 PM

Hi, I'm playing SoA and have the latest patch. I've looked for how to resolve the probelm I have but found nothing

Anyway, I have restarted the game from a quicksave in Act 1 and only the top two characters in the right hand pick list are active and only at the same tinme - not as individuals. I have three other characters who appear to be alive - speaking to me and the normal verbage [img]smile.gif[/img] but I cannot make them active. Only by doing a shift left click on them and HOLDING DOWN the shift key will they go where I want.

The other saves I have all show the same behaviour - even on saves with four characters - the top two are active in conjunction and the bottom two only when "forced".

Help? Please? Anyone seen this or know what I have to do to fix it?

many thanks

Mox.

I get the same prob sometimes but the only way I know to fix it is to reboot my computer (works everytime)
Good luck and hopefully they come out with a fix for it!

Cheers Kiwi, tried that, a few times... no joy

At least I know now that someone other than myself has seen it. Anyone else?

Talking theorticaly, this behaviour could happen if the 7 key was stuck. But that would show up in other progs as well.

Try starting a new game and see if it happens then. If it does youll probly need to re-install. If it dosent your savegames have become weirdly screwed, I doubt youll be able to fix them.

What I ended up doing was a reinstall as all my saves were affected. Obviously the savegames were saved, so to speak, but all was well - full character selection functionality was restored.

HI ho, hi ho, it's off to.......

many thanks and may the health potions stay with you.
