ToEE

Started a new game and it's going great. What's the crack with looting corpses? It seems to take ages for loot to appear?

I don't remember specific issues with corpse loot, other than the fact that selecting one body from a pile of fallen foes can prove to be something of a pixel hunt chore, but I do know the game leaks memory with a vengeance. I saved, quit and restarted often for this reason. Otherwise, you'd scroll the screen half a dozen pixels and the thing would lock up for a minute or more. Yep, ToEE is buggier than a VW Beetle bash.
 

There is a known bug with looting corpses. Basically, without the patches, you can't. I think this is a Windows XP-specific bug but I'm not sure. With patches 1 and 2 it should work fine.
 

I've run all three patches however you still seem to need to rest for 24 hours before loot turns up! :( Maybe it is XP specific.

I've just entered that moathouse thru the secret door and killed the bandits and their leader however me cannae loot the a-holes!........yet.
 

So are you clicking on the bodies to loot them? The loot doesn't appear on the ground next to them, you have select one of your characters (it has to be a PC, not an NPC like Elmo) then click on a body to loot it. Sometimes it's hard to find the right spot, but I find if I click on the body's hips it usually works.

If that's what you're doing, then I don't know what the problem might be.
 

Yeah I'm clicking on the bodies alright; about 100 times! :confused:

Still don't work though but what the heck, rest for a few sessions and pick up more XP when you're interupted by the wandering bad guys.......bonus! :cool:
 

There is a looting bug induced by changes to DirectX9.0c (the game didn't have this problem when originally released). The third official patch fixes it, or, better, the last Circle of Eight patch (forget the name, but it's not Moebius, but later) fixes it along with unlocking a number of other things.

If enough time passes, the bodies disappear leaving the loot on the ground, but that is not the way the game works when running properly -- you're able to directly loot the bodies and a lotting menu appears when you click on a blue-highlighted body.
 

Ahhh, I've given up on this game! :(

Just about wiped out the moathouse however when I tried to get to the upper levels it just died on me, like totally!!! When I tried to reload, it wouldn't so I reinstalled the game however when I tried to load me saves it came up with a message saying sorry these seem to be corrupted.....BAH!!!! :confused:

Btw - I downloaded those 3 patches and there was no noticeable difference.
