Game Stopping Bug (Stone Walls)...

The True Phoenix · 03-07-2009, 11:49 AM

Well that's just fantastic... The game has managed to autosave me on a waypoint which is now BEHIND two massive stone walls where I'm meant to be advancing... Is there a walk through solid stone walls spell I'm not aware off?

I was fighting the salamanders, died against the king as I was trying to solo him with-out minons, reloaded and found myself near where the gnomes are but of the two paths I can take to get back to where I'm meant to be are giant stone blockages... WTF guys...

Copied from the Discussion Area as well as I'm guessing this would be more where it needs to be...

I have exactly the same problem in the same area....
I was trying to get the elves down from the elevator when I exit the game...After loading the mission I ended up at the gnomes area with a big pile of stones blocking my path....the map shows that the path is open while it is not...see for your self

no save points after that place to load from....and no alternative paths available.....and the autosave is stuck at this point...no older save games available......The game is just stuck there!

NOTE: This happened after absorbing energy into the crystal ball which made the place collapses...the problem is in repeating the same area after dying or game restarting...logically the place has collapsed so I can't pass by...a solution would be placing a save point after that place or openning the other path blocked by rocks too

Whatsup these days with people not looking through the forum.

Solution:
if you have used the crystal and engaged the salamander king and died you most likely visited also the small teleport there. What you do is, go to a teleport and chooses wasteland main gate 3 (or anything with a three) notice you can not only go up and down in the list of possible teleports but also sometimes left & right. By doing this you will be teleported beyond those stones. In the case you havent visited the teleport or so, I have bad news for you, unless they patched it. Otherwise try getting a safegame after those stones. For such a savegame look around the forum.

well i didn't get to the savepoint you are talking about....so i guess i will just delete the game...I don't want to repeat all of that!

Ignore my last post (as in this one, I figured editing it would be better).

I just checked my email (should have done that earlier I guess).

"I do see a bug actually. Ill get to fixing it, but it could take until Monday. Sorry for that delay.

Hanneke"

So good to see we will have a solution soon

And the solution from the other thread:

The gate order is this: Gate 1, gate 3, Gate 2. This is the order in which you unlock them and if you have all three gates in the list, use Gate 2.

Luckily, the bug can be solved with just playing. If you have only Gate 1 and 3, Go to Gate 3, defeat the elves, go down the ramp the king is rolling over, walk near the stone blockade. Salamander king, if he is around, will fall in the water, and hit him there. He will jump up and break the stone blockade.
Next challenge put some minions on the pressure stones (there are 3) and walk across the water. At some point the king falls into the water again. Hit him, he'll jump up and forge a path ahead again.
When you walk on, you unlock Gate 2 and have to trick the salamander king into the water only once more.

I'm going to try it myself as well (although the staff here were also nice enough to do it on my save games).

I charged the crystal ball twice so far and I am stuck between the first and the second plate....If any one can offer a savedgame passed that point or at that same point without the bug it would be great.
