    G'day...

    Some day's ago i decided to replay IWD2, but now I keep running into the same problem in "The Ice Lakes".
    When i walk towards the Cave the game turns off and gives me this message: http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/2307/errorwc6.jpg = the text in the pic, if you'r to lazy to click the link.
    An Assertion failed in ChDataTypes.cpp at line number 261
    Programmer says: Uncompression Error: -3

    I have the latest patch installed and the following mods:
    Chosen of Mystra store mod
    IWD2 Adventurer pack

    Now, is there any way to "fix" this or can someone possibly give me a save game where the person has just entered "The Rivers Caves"?

    The error is listed at http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/IWD2/technical_faq.php#5

    However, the solution was apparently posted on Interplay's forums, which are long gone now. :bad:

    Maybe someone here remembers the issue or has that Interplay forums thread saved, so that I could add the fix to our list?

    Thank's for your answer Taluntain!
    I managed to "skip" this problem for the time by cheating my way to the River caves, but I'll keep an eye on this thread and post if I find a way to fix this. (But I doubt that I will find any other soulution)

    Hmm, I have never encountered that error before and I have been though that segment loads of times. Sorry, but I don't know the solution.

    I kept getting an error similar to that in Chult when trying to enter the Yaun-ti Temple. To fix it I had to use DaleKeeper to remove the initiate robes from my characters and place the in their inventories.
