Question about the start (of the game)

Ferd Jones · 02-28-2002, 07:35 PM

I have just recently purchased this game (2 days ago), and I found the patch. I did a full install, and applied the patch before starting. Now, when I start a game in Valeia, I can't go to the Town Hall or the Magic shop. I now have L3 characters and am in the crypt, and I STILL cannot get into the Town Hall. I know there are some quests in there, but when I mouse over the building, nothing happens. Also, I can't go out the right gate, only the left. According to the walkthru in the manual, I should be able to do both. Anyone else here seen this before? Did the patch do this? Or does the game just not like me...

Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to the board, Ferd!!!

You're running Win2K or WinXP, aren't you?

You have a common problem which can be solved. Read through Saz' techie help desk thread (second from the top) for posts on the Win2K town bug. The solution for either OS is the same.
You'll also find the solution on the last page of the Best Tips thread which is about Virtualdub.

Hope you will be going into all the shops and town hall soon!!

Keep us posted!
