hi all,

so I just fought Trias in Curst, and the portal opens up; I step in, and my party gets teleported to a black area of the Curst Administration map (ie the map where I fight Trias). We can walk around in the black but nothing happens.

I've seen something similar on the internet, eg gamefaqs.com/boards/187975-planescape-torment/47818870/523646293

which recommend I talk to a character in my party before entering the portal, which I've tried. I've also tried after disabling subtitled cutscenes; no dice. Anyone have any ideas? I've been stuck here for a couple days

I'm running with pst-fix,pst-tweak,ghost-ui and widescreen.

Cheers

if there's no way to fix it, is there a way to skip it somehow?

How about doing the fight again and not talking to any item in the inventory, like recommended by Qwinn? Or did you try that already?
I have no idea what else you can do, other than loading a save or reinstalling the game. But that doesn't have to mean anything, I'm not particularly savvy with these kinds of things!

Good luck!
