Error loading saved games

[Moridin Nae'blis]

Hi all,

I have recently developed a problem which prevents me from loading up any of my saved game files. I managed to get up to about Chapter 2, so the problem has just recently occured. I installed the patch but still nothing.
Whenever I click "Load Game" or "Quick Load" at the title screen, IWD2 shuts itself down displaying the message:
"An Assertion failed in CWorldMap.cpp at line number 249"

I've tried re-installing it about 20 times but to no avail. I have BG1, BG2 and have played the original IWD on my comp too, so I'm stumped at to what is going on. It's a Windows XP, with 256 RAM, Direct X version 8.1 and GeForce2 Go Card.

Any help would be most appreciated,

file corruptions.
both the baldur's gate series and iwd series are famous for this.
first off are you patched?
secondly, sometimes the corruptions can be fixed by emptying out the temp files. so try emptying that out.
but i would venture to say that your corruption has occurred in your savegame. and there's no cure for that. except to start over or go to an earlier save.

good luck!
