#7126 [Rasaad, ToB] - Really annoying sound and graphic glitch (OHRDARK)

Ever since the shadow plane fight (Rasaad's ToB quest) I've had this really annoying bug where every 5 seconds or so a symbol appears underneath Rasaad and Keldorn and makes a loud "wooshing" sound. It's literally every 5 seconds or so, and it appears to be connected to their immunity-granting items... when I take off the shadow plane +2 ac cloak I gave to Rasaad it stops happening to him. Likewise, I have to remove all of Keldorn's immunity-granting protections to stop it from occurring to him. As soon as I re-equip, it starts up again.

Also, the symbol appears underneath EVERYONE and the wooshing sound happens whenever I quicksave. Again, pretty annoying.

edit for more info: I removed them from my party and sent them to the pocket plane to see if that would fix it. Nope, even when they're out of my party they're making the same annoying sound. For reference, the symbol that appears beneath them is similar to the symbol that's underneath Cespenar (the white, shiny kind of symbol). The sound it makes is similar (if not identical) to the sound that happens when you beam up to the pocket plane.

    it is PC.

    I looks like it has something to do with the shadow gem you can pick up in one of the carts, but even if I drop it, I keep blinking.


    (BALDUR.gam) Uploaded file type is not allowed
    (BALDUR.SAV) Uploaded file type is not allowed

    I don't know how to upload, but i can mail it if you want.

    The gem has no properties so it must be something else. I would need some steps on how to reproduce this exactly or the saved game. You should be able to attach it if you zip your entire saved game folder with 7-Zip or a similar program.

    okey here it goes.

    @etagloc, I don't suppose you have a save game from before you completed that quest?

    It appears that the Play 3D Effect from OHRDARK wasn't removed after you completed the quest.

    Oh well. It was worth asking. I'll play through it and see if I can replicate it.

    @etagloc,

    In the mean time, if you wish to continue playing without the effect annoying you, you can use EE Keeper to remove the Play 3D Effect items (located under the Affects tab) that have OHRDARK as the resource. Or you can use the one attached. you can just use CTRL+R to remove it; assuming you have Debug Mode enabled.

    @Troodon80

    awesome, thanks!
  • MilochMiloch Member Posts: 863
    It is as Troodon80 says - there is a glitch with the ohrdark effect (fixed internally - no need for any further steps here). You can remove it with Dispel Magic or editing it off your game characters (or I can do it and reattach the save if you like).

    May I ask that this topic be renamed to what was more descriptive originally, i.e. with Rasaad ToB in the title. We should really follow this practice with most bugs of a specific nature. I almost didn't find it again because it was merged and probably didn't originally see the topic it was merged into for the same reason. We all have our development areas, and while sound glitches in general are not my field, Rasaad ToB glitches are. Thanks.

    Should be fixed in the next patch.

    This is also happening to me, and it is quite annoying. I will try to follow the suggestions above, and hope that it solves the problem.

    This is bug #7126 (Play 3D Effect from OHRDARK continues after quest has finished) which was confirmed fix in the last internal builds. The workaround is quite easy (ctrl+R in debug mode or cast Dispel Magic on the affected characters), so please don't post here unless that really doesn't solve the issue for you.

    Can you explain how to do it when debug mode is on and what is OHRDARK? You can't possibly assume everyone knows what you're talking about...

    Hi @ThunderSoul‌
    If you have Dispel Magic available you don't need the console.

    The first post in http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/24795/hotfixes-workarounds-and-how-to-activate-the-console explains how to enable the console. It also describes what needs to be done for each affected character.

    If you still have no joy, zip and attach an affected save and someone will do it for you.
    Thanks
