Articulate Vlish readhead Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi, I hope this is a bug, its driving me crazy. After playing A1 and 2, in three I cannot reload a saved game in the middle of a fight. I have to wait until everyone is dead and this can take ages. Does anyone know a way around this please.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Well, you can try going to the main menu and loading a game from there, but there really shouldn't be a problem with loading a game from combat mode. You can't save in combat mode, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Um, you can load during fights in all Avernums, what you can't do is anything while everyone has 0 action points (everyone is charmed/asleep/paralyzed).

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Try pressing the escape key. On most keyboards it is on the top left corner and it shows up as Esc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish readhead Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi, thanks all of you, but I still cant reload during a fight. I think I either have a bug or I got an old copy when I bought it. I guess I will email spiderweb and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Apple-O on a Mac or (I think) control-O on a PC doesn't do it? It's probably a bug. —Alorael, who can't imagine that it's an old copy problem. Even the oldest version of A3 should have the same loading capabilities as A1 and A2.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I had the problem that it will only allow you to open the game during your move in the fight. The program ignores your commands while it is doing the monster's actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been able to reload any game during a fight, be it an Exile, Avernum, or Geneforge game, or even Nethergate. Ctrl-O is the correct shortcut for loading a game the PC, so it should work; if not, try hitting Esc and clicking "Load Saved Game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I've had problems with combat loading in BoE, where I'm surrounded by a horde of webslinging spiders who leave my party with 0 AP and refuse to attack, so combat is endless and I can't reload. I end up having to Ctrl+Alt+Del out of BoE when that happens. Are you experiencing a similar problem? Just trying to clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish readhead Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi, thanks all of you, but I cant reload even when its my turn in any fight so far, pressing esc works but its a pain, also there is no haste and a lot of other spells I should have even though I am level 9 and have high mage and priest skills for just starting the game all I have is far sight and light. Maybe the disc didnt load properly, I think I am going to have to delete the program and start again. Just finished upper Avernum, will be a pain to start over. Any ideas before I do that?

Are you in combat mode? Or in the outdoors? Where are you when you can't access all the spells? If you're in the outdoors, Far Sight and Light are the only ones that should show up for a mage, but that's the only situation I can think of where that makes sense. Unless you didn't actually learn the spells, in which case you should try giving them to your mage via the character editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yes, this sounds like a good time to try deleting and reinstalling the game. —Alorael, who does have to offer congratulations for causing the game to go impressively wrong.

Go to your skills list and click on "Mage Spells" on the bottem right corner. If there not there, then yes, the game screwed into itself.
