Strange Problem... Please Help!

moiraine sedai · 10-05-2003, 06:09 AM

Hey everybody!

I was just recently starting my first 'Lord of the Rings' style party, and was going to give Aragorn his level up (from lvl 2 to lvl 3) after completing the first quest, and it was all going dandy until I hit the Accept button. The game just locked up. I thought it may have just been the random jam, so I reloaded and tried again. It still freezes when I hit the accept button.

I rebooted, thinking that would help. To no avail. I am running out of ideas. I have HoW installed, have TotLM around somewhere (but not installed yet) and have never encountered this problem before.

I'm going to try a reinstall next... The funny thing is, I had no problems when Gimli and Legolas got to third level. Any ideas?

Aragorn has 2 in Great Swords and 2 in long bows... Would it have anything to do with giving him his level up in town?????

Thanks in advance,

Moiraine Sedai

If it helps you to know, I just leveled up 4 of my 6 characters whilst in Kuldahar.

If I were you - back up all your save games and reinstall the IWD and HoW. If that doesnt work, install TotLM and see if that helps.

Failing that, you may have to resort to an earlier save game (a pain in the ass, but sometimes the only option!).

BTW - Lord of the Rings party - a nice idea!!

just wondering, how would that help? Have u tried giving ur disk a clean? It might have a bit of dust or something on it which is causing the problem. If that doesnt work then i would say a reinstall might, hopefully

oh rite, sorry if it seemed as if i was annoyed, i wasnt

Sorry guys! I figured out the problem... I deleted Aragorn and recreated him, except this time I didn't use Dale Keeper to give him the ability to use his tracking ability twice a day. When I used DK to give him the experience that his former self had had, everything was fine.

So yes, I have learned that to mess with DK is like playing with fire... And poor Aragorn got burned.

Thanks for the assistance anyway, though.

moiraine,

Regardless of any problems you are having, think you are having or (worse) don't yet know that you are having; it would be a good idea to install TotLM, as it is the complete patch for IWD/HoW.

What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party On!!

moiraine sedai · 10-10-2003, 10:41 AM

Thanks for that, Noble Nick.

Believe it or not, I have never played TotLM before. It's supposed to be an add on to HoW, right? Does it add any new spells? Oh well. I may as well find out for myself. Thanks for the advice, though

Cheers,

Moiraine Sedai

moiraine,

It does add some adventuring areas (which are challenging and fun); but the reason I suggested it is because it is the complete patch for IWD/HoW. I don't think TotLM does any spell additions or game re-balancing.
