I've played Exile III many times on the mac, but I switched to a PC a while back and started a new game, and I've encountered a couple notable bugs which I could use some help with. I'm running Windows XP, if that matters any.
The nastiest bug is that a couple of NPCs simply haven't appeared. None of them have been plot required yet, but the ghost in Colchis Ruins and the vampire Vahkhos both failed to spawn when I entered their dungeon, and nothing I can do can get them to appear. As a completionist I'd like to do both of those quest, but more importantly a fix is needed in case it happens to a major quest NPC.
Secondly, the game randomly crashes every once in a while. It's always triggered by me clicking on something, and the game locks up. When I start it again, the sound doesn't work, and the game can't get past the "Spiderweb Software" screen - the main screen is just white. This problem persists until I reboot my computer.
Any idea of what's going wrong?
