    Hi !

    I installed ToEE and Modpack 8.0.0 a few days ago.
    I had to modifiy the register ("language = 9") because I used a French version of TOEE.
    I followed the instructions and all went well ... until this morning.

    A CTD occured. Then I couldn't reload my save game. I rebooted, and launched the tutorial. From the tutorial, I eventually succeded into reloading my save game. The game went all right. I saved multiple times, loaded multiple times.
    Then, another CTD occured when I was looting bugbears of the temple of air (lvl 2).

    From this time, I have never been able to reload again, even a previous saved game (I always keep a list of a dozen).

    Here is what I tried - with no success halas :
    - set administrator rights to ToEE
    - set exception (ToEE.exe and temple.dll) on the antivirus
    - unset autoframe of the videocard
    - summoned Azatoth : said he was too busy to help such a pathetic mortal

    Two weird things :
    - the tutorial works perfectly (and I can save & load)
    - Since the first installation a few days ago, I have noticed a bug in the character creation screen. The stats (STR / DEX etc.) are not displayed on the roll dice window.

    Any ideas ?

    Laptop Dell Inspiron 1520
    OS : Vista Home Premium SP2
    Intel Core2 Duo CPU 1,67 GHz
    4 Gb RAM (with 1 Gb dedicated to graphic card)
    DirectX : 10.0
    GeForce 8600 GT ; driver 186.21

    Did the module activate completely and successfully?

    I recommend re-activating the 8.0 module and reapplying the .01 patch again.

    Hello sirchet, thanks for answering.

    I am quitte positive that the module activated correctly.

    However, I haven't patched anything yet (but the official atari patches 1 & 2 for ToEE).
    I will try the latest patch + reactivate and let you know.

    Please remember to follow the instructions in the "Everything You Need To Know About TOEE" thread, it will save you loads of trouble.

    I hope to hear of your adventures soon.

    A few hours after I posted this topic, my computer crashed completely. It is recovering ... slowly.
    I just reinstalled SP2 and I am now doing the billion of updates since 2010.

    Eventually I hope to reach some stability :roll: ; then I shall install the patch and reactivate.
    Maybe my original bugs came from that.

    Fenril, In the thread "Dividing Long Combats" you wrote:

    Are the saves you couldn't load derived from combat saves at some point? That could be your problem.

    I thought about that of course.

    However, I always get 5 saving slot dedicated to "normal" save (as advised).
    One slot for "in fight" save ; one for "camp" ; one for "level up".

    I tried all those slots to reload, and none worked. However, I generaly got the beginning of the game, then after 1 second, CTD.

    So unless you tell me that saving in a battle may corrupt other slots that the "fight" save, I can not see the connexion.
