I just found out there was a Dungeon Siege 3 when I saw it on Gog, and I jumped at the chance to own the earlier two games. (realized the expansions for them weren't available, but I think I have that covered now).
I decided to play DS3, because I never had before, and while I don't love it, it is a nice game, and something new. However, after about 4 hours of gameplay, I have run into an insurmountable problem.
I have reached the Swamp Battleground, and have rescued Phineas, and he is attempting to raise the land bridge via Geomancy. However, I say attempting, because every time the cutscene plays, it starts raising the bridge, then suddenly freezes and almost locks my computer up.
I have had no problems elsewhere, with the cutscenes or the game itself, even at high texture/video settings. I put the settings on the lowest, and it still does it. I tried restarting my computer, and that didn't work. I also tried reloading the game, starting from an earlier save, making sure nothing else was running, etc... and nothing worked.
I looked online and couldn't find anything that would help me, and sadly, this means that I won't be able to go any further, because this is part of the main quest and not a side quest I could skip.
Has anyone else had issues like this?
While reading a bit in the forums here, I have found out that the DLC I downloaded potentially has problems (I don't use galaxy), and may be missing some files? Could that be an issue, because I think this DLC, from what I read online, is one that inserts itself into the game, rather than being a separate campaign you access from the menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really want to finish this game, but as it stands, I can't.
