Hi,

With one party I got to the ice temple before realizing I had made some horrible build decisions.

So I made another party and in the Horde Fortress as soon as I got on floor 2 the game crashed. I forget the error message, but I can reload. I went back a saved game and it still crashed.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled and leveled up a new party. The same thing happens in the Horde Fortress level two.

I know that there was a long time ago a problem with slowing on level two, but it is not the same. It is crashing the game.

I am running the version 2.01 with the patch added.

It started having errors I think when I didn't know if the patch was added and I just went to a site with IWD2 and tried to install the patch even though I already have it. Now I learned my lesson and I think when I messed with the game it screwed things up.

Well I try to give info so someone can help me. I am on windows 7 and I have the game through GoG (good old games).

I really love this game. Can I back up my characters/saves and try a reinstall?

You do not need, nor should you install, any official patches with the GOG version. If you reinstall, do not add any patches. Run the game just as it installs.

Yes, you can back up your characters and save folders and copy them to your new installation.

Thanks, Hickory. I wasn't able to get the saves back. I figured out that I had installed the game in two places. So I deleted both installations and installed yet a third time.

Hopefully this time around the process will work.
