Character Stuck!

[juanfun]

I am playing Ancarian quest in the Underworld game. For some reason, the game won't let me go into the cave on the path to Shaddar-Nur. I also notice that since I transferred over to Underworld (from a saved game on the original game), many times buildings don't show up until I walk into them and some areas no longer have chests / barrells. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I recently re-loaded the game and this hasn't helped the problem.

by re-load do you mean that you reinstalled the entire game and used the same saved game, or did you start a new game? If you did not start a new game then try that since going from a saved in Sacred to UW will not work. Starting the campaign over is the only way to get it to work. if you reinstalled the game entirely and started a new game and it still does that then it could be the character you are using having some bug being imported to UW although that does not happen often.

Hi,

I'm very sorry to post on an older thread but since bugs and glitches can still pop up, I forgive myself.
I hope the forum admin feels the same way.

Anyway, I have experienced the exact same bug and I have some information about it.

1. The bug occurs when you upgrade your sacred from regular to underworld.
2. The upgrade will normaly not allow you to load your old savegames!
3. All old savegames will be broken. In rare circumstances one savegame WILL work! For me, it was the quicksave slot. In this case you are very, extremely lucky since now you can continue playing with your powerful character you put so much effort in! But here's when the fun starts. The glitches will line up and start annoying you or make you chuckle (I chose the last one, life's too short to allow yourself to have negative vibes).
4. The good news is, your character will remain unaffected! Yay!!!! Your char is saved! Export it! Only the world of Ancaria is affected.
5. Barrels and chests in towns and houses will have dissapeared. Nope, no extra cash for you!
6. Farmers will have the speech of soldiers. Slavers will have the speech of farmers, etc ... (very funny when you click a child and it says "I will crush you like a little worm!")
7. Some areas will be harder to access. Just like the cave threadstarter mentioned. There IS a way to get around it. Usualy you should just click behind the entrance instead of on it, your character will walk in its general direction and hop in!
8. The new sidequests for Ancaria in the Underworld-patch will not yet be available, from my experience.
9. The main quest and sidequests will remain unaffected. Quest-NPCs will have their normal speech. Even if your quest involves opening a chest, the chest will be there!

How to get rid of the glitches:
Export your charachter and start a new campaign. Voila, problem solved. This is what AREA666 already suggested and I can confirm it works.

I hope this helps anyone who might experience the above bugs in the near future.

Kind regards,
Roe

Thanks a ton for the confirmation! So sorry to hear you've had to deal with this one too
