    Has anyone experienced the system crashing when going back to Dernholm to try to get Master Melee. I just finished cleaning out the Ancient Maze, and wanted to bulk up. I am on the most current patch, using Windows 2000, and have never had it crash until now.

    Heck, it only crashes when I go to Dernholm. No other city or location on the world map. Go figure that one out.

    It happens if you save too often into the same file. I found out while going to previous posts.

    Thanks so much. So I guess if I save the current game to a new file it should fix it. I will try. If not, at least I am done with Dernholm.

    I tried saving to a new slot and it did not work. I guess I am not going to Dernholm anymore. HELP if anyone knows what is up.

    i dunno...

    some ideas...

    try going somewhere else, do something there, then try going Dernholm again...

    make sure you're only running Arcanum all by itself.. close out every other possible running application in the background... that might do something.. maybe not, but give it a try.

    And I don't know, but does anyone know if saved game files are effected by updated versions of the game? If not, I'd say update the bugger to the newest version.

    No. Thats not what I meant. I meant if you save too much in the same file, it gets corrupted. Therefore make backup saves. As for your game, it cant be saved unless you do something to it(theres a post about it around here). Well good luck to you, happened to me too, and I had to restart.
