(.892) Dissappearing inventory and nudist NPCs

[alesch]

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but after getting the new version of M&B I've found that NPC's like Constable Harek, Ramun and some of the nobles show up in their underwear. Also, whenever I enter or leave an area it seems like there is a very high chance (almost every time) that a random object will go missing from my inventory. I started a new game, went to Zendar only to leave without any weapons. Trying again, I lost most of my armor.

The game also demands that I enter my serial key every time I open the launcher. I've no idea if that's related at all.

I'm surprised no one else has posted this yet, so I have to assume it's just me. Could it have anything to do with Vista maybe?

It's just you !

Very seriously !

I got 5 versions of M&B installed - including .890, .891. .892
and none of this happen

Just the serial key thing indicate something is wrong
try uninstalling everything completly, then reinstall.
if it doesn't work, ask for tech support... don't report that as a bug

if it really existed, don't you think the boards would be flooded with that issue ?

I mean, there are hugue threads with 100s of bug reports in all 3 lattest beta version, and not a single mention of that...

tech support is the board just above this one, not "rat catcher" but "Apothecary"

try looking if someone had a similar problem too

 

[Tief]

Just download the complete version and reïnstall that should do the trick!

Tried. Didn't work.

Tried. Didn't work.

Your key might be corrupt or something. contact tech support 

We're just players 

I think archonsod is an official admin

You are not alone in regards to missing objects from your inventory, characters wandering around in far from flattering underwear and having to enter my serial key every time you open the launcher. Also I can not pass level 2. Each time I advance a level I find that my attribute points have all gone back to 1 and I only have 1 point to add to any.

I've reinstalled the game several times and still no luck.

I am running Vista as well and I've never had any serious problems with earlier versions of this groovy game before when I was using Xp.
It's a shame as this new version looks quite grand to say the least

 

[Archonsod]

If your using Vista, you need to be running the game in Admin mode for your key to register. If your still having problems after that, I suggest you contact Armagan directly.

 

[steeerpike]

Excellent. That seems to of done the trick.
I am glad it was nothing serious.
Thanks for the advice

 

[Radiation]

Doesn't happen to me.
It'll be fixed soon with any luck.

 

[Archonsod]

It's not a bug

 

[alesch]

Well when I leave Zendar having losat all my starting equipment and trying to fight river pirates in the buff... it sure feels like a bug Anyway I should be an admin on this computer, seeing as it's mine and I'm the only one with an account on it. I'll try using the proper Admin account though. Who knows?

 

[alesch]

Fixed. Killing Vista's UAC seems to have fixed this problem.

Maybe this thread should be moved into tech support. Apparently the bug report should go to Microsoft so they can make Vista play nice.

Not that they would I'm sure.
