I can't find Saint Leroy's Hammer. Is it in The Quarters ? If it is, then I need to know where the key is to open that area. ***Later*** I know now the Quarters Key ***Later Still*** Ok , now I know where to find the Chapel Key Looks like another puzzle to solve.

Thanks for your help Dragofer.

Thank you, thank you. I hadn't read the second letter so it wasn't "packaged". Now everything works! The only issue I have left is to "discourage the assassin"

Captain's Desk I'm having a problem

Do these health replenishing wells only work once ? I know there are 2 and may be a third, but I accidentally used one and then discovered when I returned that it no longer worked for me (and I really needed it to that time). Now I have to remember where the other(s) are.

I'm just reading up on Ver2.08 (thanks to nbohr1more for link) and it looks like I'm making the right move in updating, regardless of losing my saves (for the ?? number of times).

Its also located at the main menu minus build number. In my case the complete Version would be 2.07 / 64 #7932. I don't know if that changes anything. My plan is to go Ver2.08 anyway.

Thanks for the link and for your assistance.

It's impossible then to keep save games for prosperity with Dark Mod when version updates make the saves unloadable. So, seeing as Ver2.08 is out (it is formally released and not just beta, right?) I might as well go that route. I'm not finding a release link yet. Haven't really prowled too deeply for it though. Can you confirm it's out of Beta Testing and available to the general population?

Seeing as I never heard of Hotfix, chances are I'm already playing without it. But many thanks to everyone who tried to help. Looks like I'm going to have to examine 2.08 to see if its worth upgrading. Better to do that than try to fix my problem only to have the saves not work anyway after Ver 2.08 is installed

I have done nothing with the game. I didn't make any new saves, I didn't install any fixes. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a hotfix for 2.07 or an Unofficial Patch. I only now found out that there is a ver 2.08 (let me guess...installing it makes all the 2.07 saves not work).

Yes, I've been running 2.07 for quite a while and the most recent games I've played would be using 2.07

It's been a while since I've played Dark Mod FM's and now I'm realizing that all of my save's, regardless of Fan Mission, doesn't load and boots me to the beginning. I haven't changed my computer in any way, other than updates to Win 10. No video card change, no change in hard drive, nothing. Version 2.07 / 64. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your efforts.

I haven't been able to make contact with the Mission Archive built into the game. Its telling me it cannot connect to the server. I currently have 135 missions downloaded. Could it be that's all there is, as I also get a comment "No new mission packages available for download".

I guess that's the one I'm missing as I've gotten all the loot. Could you elaborate on this visual entity? Or simply point it out Never mind.....found your list btw....in that list, #5

Thanks for the link freyk.

I found the culprit that was deleting my executable for Dark Mod. This last time it also removed "TheDarkMod.exe, so I knew it wasn't WindowsDefender as that program wasn't running. On June 09, AVG quarantined TheDarkMod64.exe as a viral threat under the title IDP.Genereic. It did this again on Aug 31, Oct 07, & Oct 18. When I found TheDarkMod.exe gone last night I started to explore AVG and opened their Quarantine list to find my executables there. I checkboxed both TheDarkMod64.exe & TheDarkMod.exe and chose to "Restore And Add Exception". So that should resolve things for me. My thanks to duzenko and HMart for their help.

I could not find anything in Windows Defender that lists any files it considers(ed) a hazard and removed. But I still am going to turn it off, then re-install DM64bit yet again and see how long before the executable disappears again. If it does, then the problem cannot be Defender. And I'll have to look elsewhere. Or, I can always disregard the 64bit version and play the game using the 32bit version.

I'm in the process of looking into windows defender and if I find it is the reason for the problem I'm having, I'll post my results for anyone else having this issue. If I can't find a "vault" of files deleted, I may simply stop running it. I use AVG anyway and I think they update their virus catalogue faster than defender. I don't really remember why I have this redundancy running on my computer.

What I'm looking for is a reason why this executable keeps being deleted.

This is the third time I've fired up my computer to find that the executable for running the 64bit version of DarkMod has been deleted. I've had to re-install the whole game in order to get that executable back, and in the process of coarse I lose my saves. It doesn't happen right away. This last time I was able to play for a few weeks before TheDarkMod64.exe vanished. Has anyone else suffered this problem ? I'm thinking it might be a Windows Defender decision but I have no way of knowing.

I haven't seen a BSD in days? <seriously joking>

Everything is fine (I think). Right now I'm playing CoS2: A Precarious Position and its performing without issue. But I just downloaded the mission. I need to plow through completed missions to see if anything is misbehaving. I am aware that "Saves" are lost when you upgrade DarkMod, so that problem has an explanation. I'm not sure whether I can play a mission that was completed under 2.07 32bit and have the saves work under 64bit. Not having the Saves accessible is irritating but it doesn't affect play. And so far, the play is fine. What is CTD ? I'm gonna guess "Crash To Desktop"

The mission that gave me this error was CoS1: Pearls And Swine
