Avernum 5: No items?

Author	Topic: Avernum 5: No items?
Cheeseball-Seven Apprentice Member # 8599	written Wednesday, December 26 2007 05:22 Profile Homepage #0 I have Avernum 5 for the Macintosh, v1.0. I've been enjoying the game immensely, until until all of a sudden, on my second playthrough, disaster struck! All the items seem to have disappeared. I'm in The Dark River, and having just completed two of Melanchion's Tribute quests, I returned to Goro, got my two Dragon Keys, and opened one of the reward rooms. To my surprise, there's nothing in there! Thinking it a fluke, I tried another one, still no items. I opened a few boxes which I knew had items in them, and still nothing! I tried loading another save game, and it works fine. Can someone please help me out?

I had to go back to a save previous to using that; they were gone for good otherwise. Did you use anything like that recently? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central "Slartucker is going to have a cow when he hears about this," Synergy said.

Cheeseball-Seven Apprentice Member # 8599	written Wednesday, December 26 2007 06:09 Profile Homepage #2 Yeah, backtostart is the one cheat I use, most of the time. I guess I should probably stop, huh? Does anyone know if there's a remedy for this? -------------------- "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."

There doesn't seem to be any solution other than restarting from before the items disappeared. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central "Slartucker is going to have a cow when he hears about this," Synergy said.
