Avernum 6 error

[Jim DiGriz]

In Avernum 6, whenever I pass through a town or click on a non-hostile, I get a message:

 

"Talking error: Dialogue script broken or absent."

 

, and the dialogue window does not appear. I have exited the game, rebooted, and gone back in, but keep getting the error. I'm playing with Windows XP on a Dell, with the version of Avernum 6 that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago from the main website.

 

It looks like my next step is to uninstall/reinstall Avernum 6. But before I do, I have two questions:

 

1. I got the key for this when I called Spiderweb last week. If I reinstall, do I need to re-register? If so, how do I get my key back?

2. How do I save my save file? Or is it not affected by the uninstall?

 

Thanks,

The registration and save files should be in other locations than the game folder for Avernum 6. Uninstall/reinstall shouldn't affect them.

 

The saved games should be in My Documents.

Thanks. I uninstalled Avernum 6 with Add/remove Programs, rebooted, reinstalled it, rebooted, and I still get the same error message. A previous save file does not have this problem (plays normally). So the problem looks to be with the save file. Can someone from Spiderweb tell me what to do with the save file?

Unfortunately, if a save file is corrupted, there's nothing that can be done. You'll have to go back to a previous save.
