Is there anywhere that has lists/details of the fixes in the Co8 and moebius MOD packs? I know C08 used to have a web site with this informations for MOD pack 2.00 and 3.03 but those links don't work anymore. Also, does anyone have any idea why I suddenly and inexplicibly lost the inability to loot corpses? I suddenly developed this problem when facing the balor (I couldn't pick up his gem). In order to pick it up and to rest and provoke a wandering encounter and could somehow pick it up in mid-combat (?????). When I started a new game, I went to kill the goblin with Black Jay's Ring and couldn't loot it's (or any other corpse). I unistalled the game, reinstalled it and had the same problem. I uninstalled again and reinstalled with patch 1 and still had the same problem. I uninstalled again and reinstalled with patch 1 and patch 2 and still had the same problem, and the game wouldn't close properly after that either (always having some error or another). I installed the fan patch (Co8 version 3.04) and this problem has gone away, I just want to know if anyone knows what happend and if I'll ever be able to play an unmodified game again? Thanx in advance for any assistance. By the way, greater spell penetration coupled with magic missle (and some extra wands) is a great way to attack the balor, his spell penetration has to be checked for each missles so some are bound to get through while other times a whole spell can be wasted. Hope that helps someone out there. Cone of cold is a good way to open up on him at first too.
I believe the problem was caused by the windows xp sp2 patch, and direct x version 9.0c, going back to sp1 should fix the problem and allow you to play the un-modified version, but quite frankly with all the mods that are around at the moment installed, this game improves tenfold.
