Author	Topic: A3 reloading during a fight
readhead Apprentice Member # 6956	written Sunday, March 18 2007 09:04 Profile #0 Hi, I hope this is a bug, its driving me crazy. After playing A1 and 2, in three I cannot reload a saved game in the middle of a fight. I have to wait until everyone is dead and this can take ages. Does anyone know a way around this please.

You can't save in combat mode, but that's it. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

I think I either have a bug or I got an old copy when I bought it. I guess I will email spiderweb and see what they say. Posts: 30 \| Registered: Friday, March 24 2006 08:00

It's probably a bug. —Alorael, who can't imagine that it's an old copy problem. Even the oldest version of A3 should have the same loading capabilities as A1 and A2.

Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Sunday, March 18 2007 21:23 Profile #6 I had the problem that it will only allow you to open the game during your move in the fight. The program ignores your commands while it is doing the monster's actions. Posts: 4643 \| Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00

I've been able to reload any game during a fight, be it an Exile, Avernum, or Geneforge game, or even Nethergate. Ctrl-O is the correct shortcut for loading a game the PC, so it should work; if not, try hitting Esc and clicking "Load Saved Game." -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Monday, March 19 2007 05:40 Profile #8 I've had problems with combat loading in BoE, where I'm surrounded by a horde of webslinging spiders who leave my party with 0 AP and refuse to attack, so combat is endless and I can't reload. I end up having to Ctrl+Alt+Del out of BoE when that happens. Are you experiencing a similar problem?

readhead Apprentice Member # 6956	written Monday, March 19 2007 07:14 Profile #9 Hi, thanks all of you, but I cant reload even when its my turn in any fight so far, pressing esc works but its a pain, also there is no haste and a lot of other spells I should have even though I am level 9 and have high mage and priest skills for just starting the game all I have is far sight and light. Maybe the disc didnt load properly, I think I am going to have to delete the program and start again. Just finished upper Avernum, will be a pain to start over. Any ideas before I do that?

Are you in combat mode? Or in the outdoors? Where are you when you can't access all the spells? If you're in the outdoors, Far Sight and Light are the only ones that should show up for a mage, but that's the only situation I can think of where that makes sense. Unless you didn't actually learn the spells, in which case you should try giving them to your mage via the character editor. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Go to your skills list and click on "Mage Spells" on the bottem right corner. If there not there, then yes, the game screwed into itself.
