    Earlier in the game when it was just myself, Virgil, and Sogg; we went into the Tarantian sewers to retreive the fellows wedding ring and cleaned the place out while we were down there. Since one of the manholes is located by Vermillion Station and the inn is next to it; I had planned on using the chests where you kill the two thieves in the sewers as extra holding space. Last night I had nearly filled up the dresser in my room at the inn so decided to take stuff to the lair below. Everytime I click on a manhole to enter the sewers, my game locks up to the point windows tells me arcanum in no longer working. I have Virgil, Sogg, Gar, and Jayna in my party. Using the official and Drog patch. Is this an Arcanum bug or a Win 7 bug?

    Did you install the unofficial patch mid-game?

    Well, you may as well start a new game now. The lock ups will happen in many other locations, not to mention that other glitches will be caused because of the fact that the updated map data is different from your save game.

    Next time try to pay attention to what an installer tells you.

    *bangs head on desk* Yes, I am experiencing other bugs now. I went to sleep at the inn and now my character is no longer visible. Do i need to to a complete reinstall or just start a new game?

    Just start a new game. It's only the old save game that was interfering with the new data...or rather, the new data was interfering with the old save game data, to be more precise.
