Ok, so I figured it out, but there's some serious communication issues on your guys' part. I don't say this to be mean, but because it's true and needs addressing.
1) You tell us to attach the files in your "how to report a bug" topic I linked in my previous post.
2) When making a new post here, there is NO "attach files" button. (True in both Firefox and Chrome!)
3) Only when you go to alter an existing post, do you get a "Full Editor" button. (True in both Firefox and Chrome!)
4) Only in the "Full editor" do you get an "Attach" button. (True in both Firefox and Chrome!)
5) Instructions on the "how to report a bug" topic say to combine a) a summary of the bug, b) a screenshot, c) instructions on how to reproduce the bug, d) a save game, and e) a crash report as a zip file
6) Attachments in this interface are only allowed to be a touch over half a megabyte (507KB).
7) The relevant save game is 3.23MB and a zip compression only does about 2% compression! (I haven't even combined it with the other items I've been instructed to provide! )
All that said, obviously 3175KB > 507KB so I can't get the save game to you by following the instructions provided.
So please fix your instructions and means by which we get what you need to you! The sooner, the better for all involved!
I'll attach the crash report for now.
And since this isn't obvious, thank you all for the great games. I've played BG, BG2 + Exp, IWD, IWD2, PoE + WM1&2, and now PoE2.
I apologize if I'm coming off as harsh above. I guess having a long history of good games from you guys has raised my expectations.
C'est la vie
p.s. Now that my post has been approved, I could edit > full editor > attach files > yada yada. Here you go.
