    I am having this problem of treasure chest not opening up? I'm in the cave of the black mountain clan and there are a ton of chests that simply wont open and they are unlocked. It must be a bug but couldn't find any thread about it.

    Is this a known bug?

    Thanks

    I moved the thread for you. So, chests from the 2nd floor down, or only certain chests on each floor?
    Also, are you patched, at least to version 1.0.7.4? Simply doing that fixes a few bugs, and the UAP made by Drog Black Tooth fixes even more. However, there's a really good chance your save won't work after patching, if you haven't already, so you're better off starting fresh. Hmmm...just checked bugs that are fixed when the 1.0.7.4 patch is used, I'm not seeing anything related to treasure chests.
    Has anything like that happened to you before, or is this your first playthrough that got you to the mines?

    Thanks Grossen,

    Yea, I got both of those patches you mentioned (Upa091225 and 1.0.7.4) I tried both and my saved game still worked (really didnt want to start over). This is the first time I've been through the black mountain mines (just got the game 2 weeks ago for first time).

    I'm on the first level on the mine and there are alot of the little warrior guys and the much stronger rock dudes. It's kind of wierd how there are so many chest, but all these chest are located after being about half way through, not right at the beginning of the entrance. Because the chest at the start of the mine work and of course they are unlocked. I break the chest with my ax and the treasure just sits there and I can't even get the treasure. I just click the treasure and nothing happens, no dialogue or anything, like your clicking nothing.

    This sort of stuff happened earlier in the game maybe just a couple times. I wonder if it has to do with saving the game and then loading the game because it seemed to happen after I loaded my game the next day.

    Sux!

    That's pretty interesting. I wasn't able to find a way to recreate what happened to you, so I'm glad you found the solution.

    Hi I am now having this issue. I have played this game before but never experienced this problem. I was hoping that a solution had been found.

    I have narrowed this down further from the previous posts. The issue occurred as a result of my murderous rampage in the mine as previously described. i was in a series of rooms fill with kites and elf thieves after my blood, as well as hundreds of various types of trap. I know the 1.0.7.4 patch fixed an issue with corrupted saves due to items with bad data and was wondering if maybe the same thing has caused this issue? unfortunately i stored a rather large cache of valuables in one of the chests here to make my forraging simpler, and this has resulted in a large pile of trapped goodies. Not only this the glitch isn't limited to the old mine. I travelled to Stillwater and i can't even open bins in the street - it would appear that all containers are now unavailable to me.

    Please help me rescue my characters, i really don't want to have to start again. Although i use a set of three alternating savefiles to prevent issues like this, the amount of traps/enemies here resulted in a lot of saving to prevent endless waiting for fatigue to charge, so all my files are affected.

    Nick
