hmm from yo u saying the wrong singing stones I guess you still in land 1 I believe that the villagers should pray to those stones in land 2 and they will become artifacts but as far as I remember they should pray to them also in land 1 and did you move these stones around and gained little believe so the villagers will have a reason to pray to them ?
maybe you have any other artifacts in those towns so the villagers don't go the singing stone and if you are in land 1 I believed that when you will get to land 2 and take with you the singing stone it should work as sometimes thing work weird in land 1 also do you have patch 1.2 installed ?
well, there is only the singing stone in the town but the people doesn`t seem be aware of it and i got patch 1.3 (which includes the previous patches).
btw can you use commas please , its a bit difficult to read :blush
The "DUDS" can make good artefacts but there are only 3.
When I play through the game now if I want singing stones as artefacts for future lands the easy way is to get the vortex open before you complete the "musical stones" quest then throw "live" stones into the vortex they will regenerate until you leave or the quest is completed.
hm, im pretty sure patch 1.3 includes the previous ones:
The v1.3 patch adds support for the P5 glove.
It includes changes from the previous patches,
but is not compatible with v1.20 in multiplayer games.
source : gamespot
plus i got readme`s for all three patches in the bnw directory.
i never got any bug or problems EVER, even with XP
By all means be safe ...
B&W1 v1.0 had a couple of issues when saving a game, that sometimes caused a crash.
V1.1 fixes them but the previous saves were still usable.
V1.2 adds some MP improvements but the saves stay the same. 1.2 is 1.1 plus the unsaveable MP bits.
V1.3 allows the use of the VR glove no other changes.
So there should be no problems. If there was a problem I am sure LHS would mention it in the "readme.txt" files installed with the patches.
.
From memory the order the patches came out in was 1.1, 1.3 then 1.2.
.
B&W2 is a different story.
No not yet ..
Heres a picture showing a "statue " as a fully charged artifact.
.
The dancing worshippers have have finished charging this statue and it can be put to full use.
New artifacts have no power...
Then they will start to glow after some worship either sitting or dancing...
Full power as above.
Of course they are beginning to be full atrifacts, but unless you messed up big time. The stones will not be charged fully until the very end of L3 or sometime in L4 this is the usual.
They are only fully charged when a player symbol appears , the glow just means they are charging.
.
Something like this....
0%...Just an ordinary object.
1-50%.....faint glow ....usable but small charge.
50- 99%...strong glow ....usable but medium charge.
100%...player icon apears.........fully charged and ready for use.
