    [​IMG] Found Poquelin in his cave and he's easy to deal with (although rather verbose I thought). Lots of potions and cleric spells plus throw an insect swarm at him and summon elementals and invible stalkers, then just stand back and hit him with ranged attacks. Minor damage taken from his first flame strike. So of course he teleports out and I get the talking book. All OK so far. But then, we all get sent back to the icy village and the screen locks up. No characters can be selected and they all start moaning about standing about doing nothing and how tired they are.

    I installed the 1.06 patch and loaded the saved game but that didn't help. Is it meant to end like this??

    [​IMG] This is a v1.06 bug. That's right! when you install v1.06 it creates a bug that "pauses for movie" during the cutscene from Chapter 6 to Easthaven. You get froze! The only way to get rid of it is to get rid of v1.06. Here's how i did it....

    save your MPSAVE file somewhere (where you keep your saved games).

    uninstall and reinstall the game to original version. copy mpsave file to IWD directory. and play! you will make it to EASTHAVEN.

    Re-install the patch AFTER you've saved a game in Easthaven. You'll need the patch to see the end game movie and get your characters saved as IWD1, IWD2, for future use for importing, exporting...etc.


    Good Luck. This is the only way i've found to fix.....
