    Apologies if this thread is a retread of an old one (please insert a link if thats the case).

    Alright, I upgraded from Co8 5.0.0 to 5.0.6 CMF patch (had origional + patch1 + patch2, then 5.0.0, then CMF).

    I made a fresh start, not using any old saved games. Everything is going great. I get my party up to a level where I can take on that room full of bandits at the back of the Temple... I haven`t gone into the temple yet, just cleared out that room, looted it, left nothing but cooling corpses.

    Like a good boy, I saved my game. Then I went outside to make the trek back to Nulb. BIG MISTAKE!

    Instead of changing maps to the outside of the temple, where that lone bandit guard once stood, I get a new, buggy as all heck map. It`s not the outside of the temple, but a map of a cave, something like the cave exit to the moathouse, but not the same.

    Actually, my party isn`t technically ON the map, but beside it. I can walk around the left, upper and lower sides of the map, but I can`t get into the map or on the right side.

    Also, when I change maps, I get the quest indicator sound... like I`ve just started or completed some quest, or something had been added to my log book. I checked my log book... nothing.

    I also can`t exit this map... thankfully, I`ve saved my game. So I reloaded my save and tried it again. Same bug. I quit the game, reloaded, same bug. I performed a cold-boot, reloaded, same bug.

    I saved that location as well, so I can pull it up anytime. The description came up as a cave in the Gnarly Forest...

    I saved screen shots of the map and my saved game list if that helps out.

    Lil`help

    That's the Orc Cave (or whatever). Happens cause the Worldmap locations have been changed around. You can still access the Worldmap from there. The update bell might be the map update? (have you done the orc hunt quest for the Hommlet village chief?)

    If it really bothers you, the fix for that issue is already in the CMF submission thread!

    Ah, ok my search didn`t pick up on that particular thread.

    But now that I check it out, there`s 44 pages of responses, 1300 replies posted... I hate to sound so noobish but what the heck do I search for within this thread in order to find the fix for this issue.
