Hello friends!

I've browsed the forum and yet I haven't found the solution to my problem. I ve seen countless of issues being solved but haven't found an answer to this one.

My system is Windows 7 64-bit laptop from 2015, 4 GB of ram DDR3, Intel Pentium N3540 with integrated graphics.

Thanks to nicoDE's patch (who I emailed and whose answer I m waiting for, but since so much time passed I doubt he ll see it :( ) I've fixed the ''Mill axe freeze'', but no matter what I do and no matter what I apply, another issue persists and its game breaking.

And I ve really checked this forum, this bug unfortunately seems unique..

I ll copy the e mail I ve sent to nicoDE with more details:

Hello Nico!

I really hope this e-mail will reach you and that you ll have time to look this up and answer to my game playing issue, I'd immensely appreciate it.

I guess this is probably a shot in the dark, but I feel like this e mail is my last hope and I don't want to give it up yet.

I've bought KQ VII and VIII via GOG.com and never expected KQ VIII to end up being such a buggy mess..

So far I ve browsed the whole GOG.com forum regarding KQ8ME issues and amongst all of them I didn't find the a completely functioning solution.

Thanks to your patch I managed to skip the ''mill axe freeze'' when the game freezes after the henchmen cutscene, but nothing functioned so far about another issue.

My game freezes when I jump onto the mausoleum before the cutscene where Connor is supposed to jump down and slay the enemy with a crossbow. When the freeze happens music is still playing, I can toggle the menu, but Conor is just standing frozen, and in the bottom right corner a spinning mask of eternity logo is placed with it only spinning and spinning like its trying to load the cutscene but nothing happens.

This is bypassable simply by entering the graveyard from below and fighting the monster head on, but this bug repeats later and this one is game breaking.

Later on when Conor uncovers the waterfall passage and enters Castle Daventry he freezes completely again in the same way immediately when the area loads. There s simply no way to move him and the only way to leave the game is by CTR + ALT + DEL. It's the same thing, no errors, no crashing, he s just completey frozen, not moving at all and the spinning golden mask spins indefinitely in the lower right corner.

Could you maybe know any possible fix for this, and can I make you a log of some kind that could help you determine the issue?

What's your opinion guys? If any of you still play? I m all ears and kinda desperate as you might see lol.

Thank you in advance!!!!
