    I'm using the new CMF patch and the Moathouse Back Door has disappeared. Is it supposed to be this way? It still shows on the map. Have I forgotten something?

    The secret door in the swamp? If it is missing, you have the secret door bug.

    This means going back, deleting old save games and restarting (a new game).

    Nope, just a little panic.


    After I left by the door inside the moathouse, it showed up outside.

    Either that's new, or I forgot it. Doesn't matter now.

    Trust me, if you don't find the zombies' secret door, you've got a problem.

    I've got a problem, then. Found the door because I knew where to look for it. It opened. But wouldn't let me use it. Same deal when I took the long way around and tried from the other side.

    So now...I have to uninstall everything and start over, right? Lovely.

    Sigh.

    NO! Just delete the old savegames, and restart!

    Hope you read this.

    Whew! Not seeing the "backdoor" is the classical indicater on that. Welcome to the Club!

    I don't understand the bug myself. I just routinely delete old sets of savegames in ToEE now. Which is unnatural to a natural packrat.

    Scryler,

    Just to be clear, you were using concentrated search from the radial menu, weren't you? I just got to the Moathouse with a new party, and needed to use a search to find the back door.

    I wasn't using search.

    Don't think it would have helped with the zombie secret door...since I could find it by clicking on it (w/o search), it opened, but wouldn't let me through.

    I think it was the secret door/stair bug.

    I've deleted all the save games, so it's moot (for me) now...unless it happens again.

    I also had the same bug and am trying to delete the quicksave ....save but can not.

    Anyone know where to find the quicksave file to delete?

    I also get some strange portraits. A female drow for the kid in Hommlet for example.

    Delete the save in-game, not with Windows Explorer or whatever. Don't know what to say about the portrait issue. You haven't messed with the FE portrait pack settings after installing 5.0.6, have you? Maybe Gaear can give a better answer on that one. :paper: <Reads scroll of Summon Moderator III>
