Frost Giants reaching through the monitor and hurting me!!!

noj · 07-15-2001, 06:41 PM

Those durn pesky Frost Giants!!! Here I am, in the Frost Giant lair. I have killed the one guard, I have killed Frostbite and his wyrmy friends, and I have freed the slaves. So now I am slowly working my way through the lair, or so I had thought. The first giant I attempt to kill, causes the game to close. Right after I kill him, as he is in his death throes, falling backward, about to land on the ground, the games closes and I am reverted to my desktop. LUCKILY, I had saved right before this happened, but it has happened three times now. Has anyone expierienced this problem before? Or know of any way to solve it?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

I had no problems with this area at all (other than dying a few times...lol), but I'm sure someone else had this problem and will help.

Good Luck and Good Gaming!

I'd advise first loading your save, saving to a new slot, then quitting the game out. Restart and reload the new save and try again? This works to fix some problems with the ring of free action and boots of speed (when nothing else will). Or try removing your Override folder then loading IWD again to kill frost giants. This was a fix for the common "end of the game crash."

Have you been using DaleKeeper or cheats?

The patch solved the problem. 1.05 has a fix for possible crassh in Frost Giant area. I am on dial up, waiting for my DSL to get installed, so I never downloaded the patch cause I'm lazy, and I can't get better than 28.8 connection. So I took an hour and downloaded it last night. Now its fixed. Thanks for all your help, the Giants be dead.
