Here's what's happened to me, twice.

I return from Ammon Jerro's Haven and I talk to Ammon Jerro and do pretty much anything I want (talking to characters, rearranging items etc). I turn to exit the Phoenix Inn and Sir Nevalle talks to me, all is still well. Here's where the problem starts and the list of what I can and what I can't do:

I can open the inventory, the character sheet and the menu and I can right click succesfully anywhere I want.
I can't left click anywhere and the action bar on top of the screen shows that I have clicked somewhere as if to walk, though the character doesn't walk.

I've searched for a while across the net and couldn't find anything to help me. I think I should mention that I have an AMD processor due to the fact that I've read that some problems are AMD-related. If you need any more info let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Accidental Pause?

Hi Snowflake,

I had something similiar happen a couple of times. On a couple occurrences the problem was that I had accidentally hit the space bar and paused the game and never noticed it. I'm pretty sharp aren't I :laugh: .

There was at least one time it happened and I had to reload my last save to get around it. I basically exited the game then restarted it from my last save. I noticed when I got back to my desktop that I had received a notification from Symantec that there were updates available for my antivirus program. I also had a Microsoft Word document open on my desktop and it probably just did the backup save of that open document. Those two things caused my game to hang and that wasn't the first time or game that it happened to.

Games are getting far more sensitive about any CPU usage while they are being played and end up causing games to hang or BSODs (blue screens of death). The problem lies in the programming and the developers taking too many shortcuts to fix problems so they can get the game out on the market.

I would suggest exiting the game and restarting from your last save game as it will clean up your memory when the game reloads. i know it has worked for me.


Wish you Luck,


Kel

I had most -if not all- of my programs closed when I played the game but that didn't seem to fix the problem in my case. I thought of freeing up some more space on the disk, and after giving it 4 more GB the game worked! :speech:
I'm not sure I can understand why as there was enough space for save games, but I shouldn't question the whims of the Multiuniverse, should I? :laugh:

Thanks for aiding me.
