Hello,

I tried coping GOG Ishar 1 save to ishar 2 and import my party.
My team was imported but one wizard character is not able to open panel with spells.
When i try to click red orb next to his portrait, there is no reaction from game.
Normally when you import caster from ishar 1, you should be able to click on this red orb and have empty spell book.
I know caster after import need time to regain spells, but it in this scenario i cannot click to open his spell book.
Also, two characters have changed genders (unknow knight and Obarmon).
I have tried doing again different save, clean one, still the same.

Looks ishar 1 and ishar 2 have some compatibility issues, question both games are PC DOS disk versions, or one of them is from CD-ROM compilation?

Hello,

I have found what was causing the import issue.
When you start ishar 2 you have one starting character which is warrior (he uses party slot 1)
If you go to tavern recruit second character and this next one is also warrior (he will take party slot 2). Then after this step, if you try to import your save (in which two first party slots are used with mages), then both those mages won't be able to use magic. There is issue with updating character slots from current party members to ones with import save (between melee to caster type characters)

This issue is there because.......just before importing the save, same character slots, were used by warrior type characters.

But if you go with starting warrior character to near tavern and replace him with mage character - same slot (first slot) and then import, everything is good then and the issue is gone.

To summarize: game has issue with updating character slots during import, if they are already taken by different character type (issue updating from melee type to caster type)

Workaround is to replace starting warrior character with any caster type character on same slot and the problem is gone.
