View Full Version : I think I'm bugged with the ore...
I am at the keep section now in chapter 2 and have never come across any ore veins.... I came here and looked on the maps and even though I see a spot on the walls that looks like it would be an ore vein, nothing registers or happens.
I brought the dwarf along hoping he could see them but still nothing. I hit the z button and still nothing.
Not sure what version I have of the game. I bought it at Target a couple months back.
Besides this set back game has been very fun.
Thanks for any help you could give me.

Even in the initial release and early patches, some of the ore deposits would not register, but if you aren't seeing ANY of them something is wrong big time.
Did you buy just NWN2 or NWN2 and MotB together?
Have you fully patched the game? If not, you should update the game using the autopatcher.
Are you running with any custom content? If so remove it - it might be causing conflicts.
Are you running a no-cd crack? If so, remove that as well. They are EXTREMELY unreliable.
What is your game version? In other words is your game uptodate ...
Latest version is 1.13.1409 :wtf: :confused: :confused: :rolleyes:
Foolish me.... I just started updateing using the patcher.. Seems I had version 1.0.
I'm not using anything but the game I bought. It has nwn2 on one dvd and MotB on another. Haven't downloaded MotB yet, figured I'd complete NWN2 first.
Going to try to visit the ore again after I catch up on patches. It's taking awhile because I haven't done any patching yet.
If worse comes to worse I'll start over but use the cheats I have been reading about on here to speed me back to where I was.
Thanks for the help.

Since you've already gotten to the keep part ... go ahead and recruit Calindra (she's in Port Llast) and talk to her just to see what she says. If you have truly missed the ore veins, she tell you. It's possible that you just missed the quick 1 liners you get for finding the ore.
I'm not sure why this problem seems to be cropping up so often again. I played unpatched thru chapter 1 with no ORE problems, restarted and patched to v1.03 with no problems either. Confusing to say the least.
At any rate, the patches should solve the problem.
BTW, I would recommend installing BOTH NWN2 AND MOTB and THEN patching. THe patches that are applied are slightly different and as long as you have BOTH of them, save some heartache and just do the complete install up front. :D
Has anyone else experienced...finding the ore deposit, clicking on it, and getting a dialog. Then going back to Crossroads Keep, report in with whoever you recruited to do your mining and then go in to upgrade your greycloaks swords or armor and be told that you don't have enough ore.
I've found 4 ore deposits and gotten confirmation from my miner at the keep and still "not enough ore to upgrade my greycloaks"
This is the only playthrough I've had this...strange.
Nope, not since patch 1.06.
The only strange thing I experience is that a few ore veins register even without clicking on them, i.e. you just stand near them and you get the Ore Vein found message.
I think there is one such in the Bonegnasher caves. :vine::D

I've seen that reported before on the official forums but I've never had it happen to me. 4 ore veins should be good enough to do at LEAST one upgrade since it only requires 10 to do ALL of them.

I don't recall ever actually clicking on them. Just walking close to them gave me the Ore Vein found message.
Nope, I clicked on them. They high-lite with Z and everything.
Tried it with an empty override also, still no luck.
I hate sending my greycloaks on special missions without good gear. How will I ever explain their deaths to their families. heh heh

Are you using ANY custom content (haks, overrides, UI fixs, TonyK's AI or a no-cd crack)?
If not, the only thing I can figure is that one of the globals isn't being set properly for some reason, or that a script is busted or not firing properly. Check out the known bug page in the crossroad keep section - there is a fix to set one of the global variables for the number of ore veins found. You might give it a try. There is also a thread on the issue somewhere else in the forums.

And the best armor and weapons the smiths can craft for your Greycloaks is crap anyways. Scale Mail+1 and Bastard Sword +1? And they get to fight Trolls? Come on, no wonder they drop like flies. :D

TonyK has nothing to do with it; I can personally vouch for that. No-CD cracks are a no-no! :D The globals fix should work. :D:vine::D
Correct. I didn't notice this until after 1.13, but hadn't played OC for a while (probably 2-4 patches). Most recent versions of the game require you to interact with the deposite to "get" it.
Yes, except for one in Orc Caves, Eyegouger level 1, here (http://www.thieves-guild.net/index.php?pid=239). It's the one on the left side way up in a niche, kind of, where some orcs spawn in. This registers without even touching, just by approaching it. :rolleyes::cool::vine::D
Thanks for all the feedback folks.
I certainly am not using any crack:wtf: ... no cd crack heh heh.:D
As for custom content, well... I confess, I'm hoplessly addicted to community content, although I've attempted the ore situation with an empty override with the same results.
I think we've MORE than answered the OP's original thread. Locking this down.
