    Hello, I am new to this board but not new to Arcanum. My character is 25th level and the game now has a bug in it I have not seen before. When I load the game it asks me are you sure you want to quit? When I press no several times it kicks me back to Windows. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it?

    Thanks!

    Welcome aboard, Lazarus.

    I have to be the bringer of bad news here. Your save is corrupt and not much can be done about it. Your game not being as patched as it should be is the reason behind this situation. Either load an earlier save or patch up you game and start anew (avoid mixing old saves with a patched game for they are not compatible).

    The most bugfree version of Arcanum is 1.0.7.4 (latest official patch) + Drog Black Tooth's Unofficial Arcanum Patch v091225.

    Thank you for your help!

    I have donwloaded every immaginable patch before I started playing, but I doubt I will reload the game anytime soon.

    Thanks!

    Well, there's your problem.

    The patches are like a house of cards: you have to stack them in the correct order or it all comes tumbling down.

    Wasn't this a really old pre-1.0.7.4 bug?

    Which patches have you installed and in what order, Lazarus?

    That's the only time I've heard of it. The 1074 patch fixed it, if memory serves.
