"Missing RPCs, still an bug?"

Posted by hbk21god on Sep-04-02 at 07:17 PM
I downloaded and installed the 12/23/01 patch back shortly after it was released.
I recently started a new game.
I have completed at least 1/2 of the game and recruited Myles many times, but now Myles is no where to be found.
I went to the Mine Tunnels to see if Tantris is still there for recruiting and he is missing too.
I am now afraid that if I release VI that she will disappear also.

If I remember correctly this problem of recruitable NPCs disappearing was fixed with the 12/23/01 patch.
Is that memory correct?
Could there be some other answer to my problem?

Neither Myles nor Tantris died while in my party or while assisting my party in a fight.
All recruitable NPCs disappear after releasing them and walking out of sight of them, and almost always return to their original location until now.

One thing I noticed is when I was in Trynton and I was about to drop Myles and recruit Madras(I think it was Myles that I was going to drop).
I noticed that after I dropped Myles both Myles and Madras disappeared.
I dropped Myles just below Madras, at the bottom of the walkway up to Madras.
I also tried dropping Myles in the hallway leading into the area of Madras and the same result occurred.
Then I reloaded and dropped Myles along side Madras and then both of them stayed put and I recruited Madras.

Is there a magic spell of locate person in Wiz 8?
Is there a way to verify that I correctly installed the 12/23/01 patch?
Is there any other check I can perform to try and diagnose the issue?

Has anyone else continued to have this problem even with the 12/23/01 patch?
Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Some people say if you drop too many RPCs in the same spot, they will disappear. I have noticed that Myles doesn't always go back to the fountain area, so he may be lingering around somewhere. Or if he was poisoned when you left him (or got so in a fight helping you) he could have died from that.

There is no locate person spell.

After I released Tantris, he turned up in Marten's Bluff, in the courtyard. He may be there in your game too. I guess he doesn't need to hang around in the outpost after sending you to meet Z'ant, so he goes back to base from then on.
