I recently took the time to download the update to 1.1. I've been throught the game up to the point you find Ursa, and have taken time to build my skills and such.
Anyways, my problem is that once I added the update, it broke my game. I'm not talking about not being able to use my old save, I mean that I can't make a new game.
The first thing I did was, just as a test because I'm curious, is I told it to load up my old save game, figuring it would cause an error and crash or something. I just wanted to see what would happen if someone did this, not because I thought it would open. What surprised me is that it opened fine. I didn't do anything though, thinking it might be a fluke and that if I saved a new copy, it would break it and I wouldn't be able to import my character into MP.
Next attempt, I start up a new game, skip the intro because I could recite it line by line now. (I've played a lot of starting characters to test out things) I get to the start area, ride the platform to QK1, and when it touches down, the auto-save bar pops up. After it finishes, Mantri has disappeared and his items are lying on the ground where he was standing. I've seen that happen once before, but only the very first time I started, because he didn't want to join me. Once I left the screen and came back, he was gone and items lying on the ground. This time, I didn't even have a chance to speak to him.
ANyways, I figure something botched, so I start another new character. Get to the difficulty settings, and after choosing hard, it pauses for a second, and goes back to the character select saying that the map could not be loaded. It does this twice more before letting me start the game. This time around I get Mantri to join me like normal, skip the walking to village scene, and get the auto-save before fighting Karkadan(spelling?). I walk up to him to start fighting and he turns around and starts kicking and punching poor little Mantri in the head. I have to skip this scene too, and I end up with Pooka standing there with low health. So I click to walk away, she dies, and I have to start again.
Does anyone know what would be causing these problems? Should I actually sit through the scenes I've already seen? Should I delete my old save games? Do I need to revert to 1.0 for now? I just want to play this great game some more, and any help is greatly appreciated.
