Ravenloft: Strad's Possession
 

I am trying to review this for the site, and almost have finished the review...but sadly I have run into a bug (at least I think it is one) I am unable to talk to the Burgomeister. In fact I can't even walk into his room, the doors open, I can see him sitting at his desk, nothing is blocking me, but the game just wont let me enter that room, or talk to the Burgomeister from the door.

I can't finish the review until I have played a lot more of the game, this is only at the beginning, so any help would be most appreciated...oh and Dosraider if you solve this one I will worship you for EVER!!.

Don't remember that bug, however, never got far into that game, I didn't like it.

BTW, do you have the floppy or CD version?

And: a savegame right before you get stuck would help ....... as I don't intend to play games I don't like .... :whistling:

I have both, the floppy one is for one site, the CD I got from the ISO cellar to check it out. Will make you a nice save inside the manison, from the floppy version that is.

I expected bugs, this is a SSI game after all.

That is everything in the save folder. If it wont work it was Save number 5, might have to go in that folder.

Ravenloft, point of entry to RL castle, the only thing you miss is a short blahblah talk and an animated drive towards the castle.
RLOFT.zip - 0.08MB
Contrary to you I won't up all the files separately forcing you download a whole bunch of files, but I've zipped the 3 savexx folders in one file. The 3 folders belong in c:\rloft\

That's what you will miss in a nutshell:

BTW, I had no problem whatsoever, but I have the original CD (of course) .....

Thanks Dos, guess I better get to worshipping you huh.

PoEs .... GIMME PoEs!

If I could I would.

Someone get this man some PoE's stat!!

Excuses, excuses, cheap excuses, as usual ..... :doh2:

Hopefully those savegames will work, I just noticed that there are a lot of new files in the 'work' folder with recent timestamps ..... :mhh:

I will give them a try tomorrow, I really should be in bed now.

Darth, PM.

I have noticed that my version is 1.00....not a good sign for bugs. Am looking for a higher version no cd game. Both your and my CD versions allow me to get past the blocked part, and both are not version 1.00.

Okay found another version, still 1.00 but with a Rloft.bat, something the one I got from this site didn't have, and I can now talk to the Burgomaster.

New problem though I have had people join my group, but as soon as I enter that first town they leave my party. No word of warning, just one of my two main part member telling me about how the person has just left.

Re-edit, I think from reading a few more reviews and walkthroughs that I need to go see the Count before I can have any party members.

V1.0 ...? Damn bugged, alas. :mhh:

Check your PMs. :whistling:

Thanks Dos, will look into that CD version, see if its smaller then the one I have.
