Curious Artila Cheeseball-Seven Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have Avernum 5 for the Macintosh, v1.0. I've been enjoying the game immensely, until until all of a sudden, on my second playthrough, disaster struck! All the items seem to have disappeared. I'm in The Dark River, and having just completed two of Melanchion's Tribute quests, I returned to Goro, got my two Dragon Keys, and opened one of the reward rooms. To my surprise, there's nothing in there! Thinking it a fluke, I tried another one, still no items. I opened a few boxes which I knew had items in them, and still nothing! I tried loading another save game, and it works fine. Can someone please help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 This happened to me once with Avernum 4, as a result of my using the "backtostart" cheat as a timesaving measure -- apparently it can somehow screw up the loading of items into memory. I had to go back to a save previous to using that; they were gone for good otherwise. Did you use anything like that recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Cheeseball-Seven Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Yeah, backtostart is the one cheat I use, most of the time. I guess I should probably stop, huh? Does anyone know if there's a remedy for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 My post about the Avernum 4 error is here . There doesn't seem to be any solution other than restarting from before the items disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Cheeseball-Seven Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well, thanks for the help! I hope Jeff fixes it in the next patch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Lucheiah Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 There's a good chance he'd keep it to demonstrate cause-and-effect lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
