    IF YOU READ THIS IT MAY SPOIL YOUR GAME A BIT(it has something to do with amulet of N'Tala)

    Hey guys!
    I've never encounterd a bug like this(i guess its a bug).I went to StillWater,got amulet of N'Tala,did quests and some other stuff.BUT!When i headed to Shrouded Hills,then absolutely EVERY...I MEAN EVERY SECTOR i encounterd a monster(kite scout,bears,ailing wolves etc.).It is very annoying.Since i'm level 22 it is espescially annoying,cuz they are too weak to me and they waste A LOT of my time.And instead of getting to Shrouded Hills in less than 30 secs,it took me about 4-5 mins.I don't have teleport spell or anything to travel quickly.And oh...it didn't happen only, when i went to Shrouded Hills,but even, when i went to Hardin's pass and to Quintarra.Doesn't matter where i go,every sector i see a monster.
    I've never seen anything like it...have you?And can i get rid of this problem somehow or do i have to make new game,cuz it takes jsut too much time.[/url]

    Are you playing A:WIP 4.something?

    I did remove the limits for the random encounters.

    If this is a stock game, then yes, you have an odd bug which might not show in a new game.

    When you say every sector, do you mean that literally? Like you'd be traveling for 1/10 second or so before you an an encounter, or only every 2-3 seconds or so?

    I don't know if that's so much a bug as it is just really....really....really bad luck. Maybe.

    How were you able to resolve it? Did you re-install the game? :???:

    I've heard of such a problem. Perhaps, it's related to hardware. Anyway, there's a workaround if it's really annoying. Add '-norandom' to the game's shorcut, e.g. "C:\Sierra\Arcanum'Arcanum.exe -norandom". With this, you won't be getting any random encounters at all.
