Hello and HELP!

Jaguar · 07-15-2005, 04:53 PM

Hello fellas...

I've lurked around here quite often and I'd like to first say that you guys are a great bunch of guys. I've seen you huddle together to help the newbies out and offer your expert advice.

Now I have a slight problem maybe somebody can help me with. I'm playing IWD (not HoW). I've installed the ease-of-use-pack and I'm starting to get an error that says, "Assertion failed in CSTORE.cpp" It's happened a few times in combat but it's happening everytime I try to buy something from the storekeeper in Severed Hand.

If it's a bug and I need to uninstall the patch I will, though I do like the fact that I can take my characters past level 10...

Thanks for the help, fellas!

Hi Jaguar, i just had the same problem..see the 'More patches than elastoplast' thread for the solutions offered, i managed to sort mine out but i'm not entirely sure how/why it worked as it did but hey..i'm not complaining !!I'm a newbie myself, but welcome to the forum...I feel that we're both in good hands here
Cheers,cocobolomike

Hi Jaguar, [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] welcome...

I have to admit that I haven't used any of the IWD mods or ease-of-use packs, but this thread suggests that mods should be installed after patches.

Also, it's possible that the EoU pack is incompatible with IWD without HoW, or that you have a version that is supposed to work with HoW/TotL.

Perhaps some of the folks who get more technical than me (Azred, Dundee) can give you some more specific info. This is a new one on me.

Edit: I just did a search for "CSTORE" on the forum and only found cocobolomike's recent thread, so your specific problem doesn't seem to be in the archives.

Ah, I just saw it...should've lurked a little closer. And I agree, we are in good hands here. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your quick reply, Aerich. I appreciate your help and I'll thoroughly read through Chocobolomike's thread.

Thanks again, fellas.

Welcome to the IW Forums, Jaguar and cocobolomike. Enter freely and of your own will.... [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Ok, ok. Time to be a little more serious...or maybe not.

Since I'm at work I can't look into cstore.cpp. Not even I can install IWD on my work computer; someone in IT and/or management might frown upon that. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

However, I'll look into it when I get home. Best-case scenario: I simply e-mail a copy of that particular file to you so you can paste it into the override folder. Worst-case scenario: you have to uninstall/reinstall IWD and any subsequent patches/mods.

Thank you, Azred. I look forward to fixing my game...and listening to NobleNick's signing. Is he a bard or something?

No, but he loves bards, as do many who play the game. Azred just likes to confuse the new guys [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Welcome to the forums!

Jaguar · 07-17-2005, 08:25 PM

Ok, how 'bout this...

I'm just gonna uninstall/reinstall the game without the mod. I can't stand not playing. Will I have any problems keeping my savegames? Will it automatically prompt me to keep or delete the savegames?

Thanks again,

Jaguar

EDIT: Ok, uninstall/reinstall does keep your saved games. That's good. The mod was still there so I tried the game and I'm still getting the same error. Next step is to delete the mod folder and reinstall it without the bags of holding. I think that might be the problem, since it won't let me into the new store. I gotta work tomorrow so I'll try again after work.

Jaguar, would you mind e-mailing me a copy of your current saved game? This will help determine whether the problem is with your computer, your installation, your mods, or perhaps something else.

Really, really mysterious.

Jaguar · 07-20-2005, 12:36 PM

Looking under C:/Program Files/Black Isle/Icewind Dale, I can't seem to find my saved games. I assumed there would be a folder named Saved or something but now I'm just confused. I've looked under every folder and don't recognize anything as my saved games...

Help?
