    Question: Banner at the top of the page claims that the latest version is 7.3.2, but where can I find it? Latest I have is 7.3.1, and that's only because someone was kind to link to a post in this thread containing the patch.

    Hmm weird, the banner redirected me to a completely different thread not half an hour ago. Still, thanks anyway :D

    I'm assuming that it doesn't require a new game just like 7.3.1?

    Okay, as of 12:00 a.m. GMT July 5, 2012, the patch you see in the new banner at the top of each page is good.

    Those banners are now your one-stop location to see what's up with all the latest. Any new patch updates will appear there, probably with a mention here to go along with it.

    Like the old, the new patches can be used with existing saves. There may be a few bumps if you don't start a new game, but nothing game-stopping.

    Sorry about all the map issues ... you may be tempted to think that I just wasn't paying much attention while doing that but that's not the case. The powers of InfoRapid Search and Replace have proved rather disappointing in that regard. :thumbsdow

    At any rate, there will probably be other issues down the line (although I think I've got all the portal issues straightened out). Please continue to report any problems, thanks.

    I posted this question in the atari bug list since I could not determine the correct question to complete a search. It seems that this is the proper location for this question.

    I am having an issue with movement. If I select the whole party and click where I want them to go 3 things may happen.

    1 entire party goes where I want it. (good)
    2.The entire party stays put and wont move.
    3. a random number of party members will travel to my desired location.
    **
    Also the sound - sometimes it is fine/clear other times you can hear static.
    This also goes for voices? I don't think it is my system since the original ran with no issues.

    I just downloaded 7.3.0 and have also installed 7.3.1 fix. I am running the Anthology pack with B.Gate/I W Dale as well as TOEE. I only downloaded TOEE from the Anthology.

    **********
    I should also say thank you I have not played this since the original and only just found this game pack. I played the standard version to level 4 found the circle of eight and completed the download last night.
    I am very excited to play with the additional content.

    Are you talking about specifically when you are in Hommlet? We have removed pathnodes from Hommlet for the time being as a performance-enhancing measure, so if that's all it is, you should have no issues if you simply give shorter movement commands. If your characters start but don't complete movement commands, and/or if the game seems choppy and unresponsive, that's something else.

    I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3 (now patched to 7.3.2). I had been having more & more CTD's in 7.2. I'm also having lots of CTD's in 7.3, but was using my old save files. Most of the current CTD's are when I go into the Welcome Wench. However, reading in the forums, it looks like I need to restart the game with a new party.

    You cannot use saves across modpack versions.

    Yes when in Homlet.
    This is good thanks for the reply.

    I can assume the sound quality will pick up as well?

    Friendly warning: the recent patch likely causes disappearance of Extraplanar Chest contents. Not 100% sure that's the cause, but it's the most likely contender. Make sure you don't have anything valuable in there before updating ;) (good thing I use mine as a trashcan of sorts...)

    Those banners are very helpful. Now, I don't have to scour the threads to find these treasure patches :)

    Ausdoerrt, thanks for the tip.

    Here's more: the back room of Lazslo's house (NE exit) is marked as "dangerous to rest" (yellow).
