Hey everyone, I played Arcanum a long time ago but never finished, and recently brushed off the ol' disks to play all the way through. I've made it to Caladon and I believe there is a bug that I can't remedy - Vincent is not where he should be. I checked around online to make sure I'm looking in the right place - location 10 on this map: http://mikesrpgcenter.com/arcanum/maps/ ... ewers.html I got the blade to kill Vincent and legitimately accessed the back area of the sewers and killed everything down there, but when I went into the area where he should there was nothing but swag. I suppose my next step will be to reload to when I first came to Caladon, but I thought I'd see if it was a common bug before I went to the effort to replay through all that. Thanks for any advice!
Ah, That would have been good to include. I have your latest patch installed on top of the latest official patch (as the instructions indicate, I believe...)
Ok, I'll report back when I've made it back to that point. It probably won't be until this weekend. Thanks!
So I reloaded to when I entered Caladon and immediately played only the Vincent quest - got to the same point with the same issue. I've uploaded the 4 files that correspond to the save game here: Slot0002.bmp Slot0002.tfaf Slot0002.tfai Slot0002quest.gsi I'm grateful for any help/advice you can give!
I suppose the only thing to do is reinstall the game - I checked again and I definitely don't see him there. If I preserve my save game directory and manually restore it once I've reinstalled the game, will I be able to continue the game I've started?
I gave reinstalling a go, and the problem seems to be resolved. I had installed and uninstalled some other patch in an effort to get a virtual LAN game going with a buddy (he had installed the patch and we were hoping to resolve our issues by making the game versions identical) - my guess would be that that was the cause of my issues. Thanks again for your help!
