    [​IMG] Has anyone else had the Windspear/Keep areas made unable to enter once they have been added to the map? I spoke to Firkraag/Nalia and got the areas added, but was sidetracked with other quests. When I finally got around to going there (before leaving for spellhold) I found that while the icons were there, it wouldn't let me go there from any place on the map (including outside the city). Any help (besides "Restart the game") would be appreciated.

    Never heard...

    Ok, let's start with this question:
    Do you have ONLY SoA and official SoA patch installed?

    Or you installed something else on it?
    For example, TDD?

    That happens to me as well, quite often. I just travel around, to the gates in Athkatla usually works, until I can enter the areas again.
    It should work, if something isn't messed up somewhere. I could be wrong, but I've managed to solve it in my games just by travelling around.

    well, normally those areas are activated when you visit the area City Gates in Athkatla. Thats actually the only thing I can think of...

    That's what asker posted. And I asked if he installed anything besides SoA and official patch. That question goes to you too Amber!

    Desu, those areas ARE NOT activated with simple visiting of City Gates.
    You must learn from someone for those locations to activate them (for example, paladins can get a quest at Radiant Heart).

    But the point of Gobbledok's question is that he did activated those however he can't visit them. And he obviously visited "outside" the city.
    Now, City Gates should make all those maps - visitable. Why it hasn't happened in his case, we'll see when I learn what has he installed.

    Just don't tell me you messed the saved game. Touching the "worldmap" file in the folder where saved game is, tends to remove possibility to visit certain places.

    [​IMG] Hmm.. *thinks* I'm pretty sure I experienced this before I started *messing* with the game. Then again, I could have used some nasty little editor without thinking twice about it. Hmm, the more I think about it...

    Argh! Thought that was just something that happened for everyone. I've always managed to deal with it without much trouble so I thought it was nothing really... Well, hopefully I'm older and wiser now.
    Thanks for pointing it out and getting me to think. (I'm really sure I'm gonna get yelled at now)

    Hmm... *more thinking* uhm, no. I had nothing installed except SoA and the offical patch. But I guess I've still screwed up with that editor mess.. :o

    [​IMG] Thehehehe, I knew it... Felt it deep inside my soul...

    You know that old one:
    Deep, deep, more deep and the most deep inside there is something hiding in every human being.
    -----> sh*t
    :p

    Anyway, zip your game, mail it to me, I'll try to fix it (no, not with :-X, but with nice plain hex editor so nothing else will be screwed if I mend the areas).

    But I promise nothing! This is not a normal bug.

    You could just use the MoveToArea cheat if you can't fix it.
