    Hello I was enjoying a run through iwd2 when i realized i could no longer import without my systems freezing( i have to hard reset if i dont quickly tab to task managmener and delete iwd2.exe)

    It started when i made a test save using dalekeeper beta. ever since then i have not been able to export then import without crashing. I have traced the cause to the .res files (just character descriptions) that are automatically created when i export a char. deleting the offending .res files allows me to import but this must be repeated each time a .res file is created (anytime i export anyone).

    Im already at the horde fortress and i really dont to restart the game. For some reason this issue doesnt happen from a fresh game. Im mostly sure the cause is file tampering caused by dalekeeper but i have not been able to trace the cause to anything other than .res files.

    has anyone dealt with this before or has some experfience altering game files?

    after a little testing, it seems the game will crash when ever i import into character slot 3- if that character has an associated .res file. still no permanent solution though.
