The Open Cave

I am having several problems with the game, some of which have already been mentioned. I am on my 6th avatar and the only journey cloths that don't reset every time quit or get kicked off the game are the ones on Elder Gira & Kemo. I also get the occasional server 5 & 6 shutdowns, especially when moving between ages. On Ghreesen it usually takes several tries to got into the control room because I keep falling through the big gear, leaving the camera in the crack, or I get bounced back into the crack. I had a similar problem in the original game (Uru complete chronicles) and persistence was the only solution that I found. After all you only have to use the crack once per avatar, but it's still annoying.
My biggest problem is that I can't get into the Bahro caves, I've tried 3 of the 4 entrances with the same result, I disappear from the entrance cave, get some transitional bars, then the screen goes BLACK and a Microsoft message comes op telling me that it has stopped the EXE file and asking if i would like to send a report. Is this last problem on your side or mine (or both)? I've already upgraded direct X, C++, and Phys X . any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We don't exacly know whats the problem with the Bahrocaves. Some people have the same problem, but the most players can go into the Bahrocave. For now we didnt find any connections between this people.

I've tried a few Bahro caves and never got there. No matter if Minkata, Pod, or Garden age.
But I keep trying anyway

Last night, out of boredom and frustration, I created a G Z test dummy and ran the single player levels with it. The first thing that happened is that my cleft pillar acted like a relto page, I pressed the palm print, but it did not open until I left (for my Ke) and returned, then the book was available so I could run the cleft and talk with Yeesha's image. Gahreesen still has the control room glitch, where it takes two tries to get in and turn the power on. The other levels were fine, except that the caves still crash my program, and Microsoft still offers to file a report. I tried all 4 anyway, I even brought fireflies and my cat into the Garden Age entrance, to no avail. Yes, the Er'cana control room is still down, so I can't make pellets to feed to the alga, or touch the last shell so I can crash in yet another cave. I found the 30 G Z markers, but without Great Zero in Nexus, I can't calibrate My Ke.
I am glad you got the CoD back, and the project has a lot of potential, but without the caves or pellet room it's becoming somewhat pointless to me. However, I must be patient, stubborn, or crazy, to have played the game for this long, and I plan to continue testing your new creation until either you get it fixed or my computer dies trying. If you can think of anything that I can try at my end to fix my killer coves, please let me know. I thank the creators for all they have done, and wish all good luck. Fred the Cat

I too can't get to the Bahro caves still, yet I noticed some others could.
I'm not complaining, honest. The fact that some could get to the caves when before, they couldn't, is progress and I am glad to see it.

The goto command now works again in Er'cana, so getting to the last shell is possible.

you'r idea worked, sort of. I Ki'd goto pellets from the control room & warped to near the J. cloth, touched it, then tried to turn the power on, the camera warped back to the control room leaving me blind. I booked back to the cloth, climbed the ladder, got the backpack, dropped down next to the power switch and turned it on. Then I walked through the shell and crashed attempting to enter yet one more cave. thank you.

Well, I cannot help with the Bahro caves anymore. They are working just fine for me. Anyway, I know there are some people who cannot enter them without crashing. I tried a lot and suggested a lot but nothing seemed to work yet. I'm quite out of ideas, atm.

I have some good news though. We are currently working on Er'cana and we found out a way how to temporarily fix the issue with the control room. Maybe you'll be able to see a new patch soon!

Mystler, are you running Windows 7, or Vista? I was wondering if the cave crashes could be a platform or hardware issue. I run updated XP home on a transitional Intel gamer, it has a Pentium 4 dual core 2.4 32 bit processor, 15,000 Mb. ram, an A G P 8x Nvidia 6200 video card with 256 Mb. ram, and Sata 1 or 2. Although it does not like some older games, it does most things quit well, including the Sims 2 and several other versions of URU and MAUL. To find out if it's a platform issue someone could create a poll with 4 categories -X P, 7, Vista, and other. with a yes, no question in each is to if they have crashed trying to get into caves. I checked the Er'cana control room after I got an update, it was still down, but will check again soon. thanks for what you have done, the CoD is fun, esp. jumping to odd corners and levels.

The controlroom in ercana is not yet working on the TOC, but I finished the fix now and its working on our testserver. I think it will be uploaded tomorrow.
