Problems with 1.4 version

    Scenario:

    - I installed the game, then installed 1.3 and 1.4 patches, OS is Win XP
    - the game wouldn't start so I had to disable hardware acceleration

    Now there are several problems:

    1) certain animations like a flaming object or certain spell effects like stinking cloud make the game stutter it's hardly playable, is there a way to fix that?
    2) when a character is unconscious and loses 1 hp every round I can't seem to heal him, healing spells etc have no effect...
    3) and now the worst: my Sorcerer (lvl1 Monk/lvl3 Sorcerer) just leveled up to lvl4 Sorc, an interface popped up where I could choose a lvl2 spell, but afterwards even after resting I had no option to cast a lvl2 spell, only the level 1 spells and cantrips were there. He's not level drained and has a CHA of 16, 18 with equipment. WTF is that?

    I would normally say to rest, but you covered that.

    1. Sorry can't help there. I'm using windows 7 and haven't experienced any such graphic glitches...yet.
    2. As far as I know you don't use healing spells. Stand over the fallen character with a different character who has some points in the heal skill. Select the standing character, press S(I think? for skills) select heal and then target the fallen character and depending on the roll you may/may not heal that character.
    3. I have noticed similar glitches with stats for me as well. All I can suggest is to save often and re-load. Or..download one of those editors you see here at Sorcerer's Place and go in and change the stats, spells, etc of your characters if you feel there's something wrong.
