    Yeah, I have been trying this but it isn't working. I cannot change from 5 PCs at all. Even if I set the front end at 3 or 4, it stays 5. If I set it to 6, 7, or 8 it stays at 5. If I try to use the book in Hommlette the character appears, but I cannot interact with him/her.
    If I drop back to 7.3.3, then I can set the max party size to whatever I want.

    I downloaded 7.4 today and set my frountend at 7-1 and had no issue, if you switched back to 7.3 and tried and then back to 7.4 you have already tried reactivating the module so not sure what the issue is except it seems unique to your computer. Remember is you go over 5 charecters on the frount end it will still only show 5 boxes when you form your party but if you add more then 5 they will be there when you start adventuring.

    Strange - I've encountered this once in a blue moon with all versions of Co8 modpack but NEVER twice in succession!!

    I have always found that when this happens clicking the left-hand mouse button once or twice freed everything up.

    I cannot comment on your specification as I am only running XP (beats Vista not running though.....)

    So every now and then my roll history window starts to give me distorted text.

    [​IMG]

    It doesn't seem to be harmful (Though sometimes it makes certain text unclickable) but it looks really creepy. Anyone know what causes this? It occurs in 7.3.3 as well.

    Gaear: In the process of doing a full reinstall to load 7.4, I gave vanilla (straight from GOG) a look before installing the modpack. The creation screen rays from the upper left were present there as well, so it must be a video driver issue. Full screen is back in all it's glory, to include now working at my monitor's native 1600x900 resolution. Thank you again!

    You're welcome, but it was nothing I did. ;)

    Also not anything we have ever done or will do. Die rolls and what the rolls window displays specifically are core engine stuff that we never touch, nor can we in any practical sense. That problem has been seen before, and I would guess it's just that some core mechanic has been corrupted somehow. I would suggest a reinstall if you ever run into it.

    Thirdly, not anything down to the mod and almost surely something particular to your system. If the game worked with 7.3.3, that means it can work with 7.4.0 so I would just fiddle with it until it does. See the Co8 Modpack Explained thread for some good general tips on what and what not do do with your game, like not installing to the Program Files directory with Vista or 7.

    Hi manz. What are the differences between version 7.2 and 7.4? New spells, new location etc? Or new version contains only bugfixes?

    Actually, it was the instructions from your specific post in the widescreen thread that showed me how to get 1600x900 to work. You may not have thought them up originally, but you at least put them in a convenient place for me to find, so you get some well deserved credit either way. :thumbsup:

    Yep, read the thread

    Installed in C: under Atari/temple of elemental evil/

    Oh well, back to 7.3.3 I guess unless someone has something not in the Co8 Modpack explained thread

    Thanks for the try though

    When the cursor locks not much you can do

    Maybe I should slap together a machine from old parts just to run ToEE under 98

    That could be fun in and of itself :)

    Co8 ModPack Release notes.

    Look for the version you have and compare to the version in question.

    Click on the yellow text.

    I'm curious, Gaear, are you planning on expanding/adding the new content in Verbobonc in future versions of the Modpack? What else is planned for 7.5/8.0?
