I've played DoD (with three expansions and hotfix3 installed) for a few hours, saved game and quitted. Then, after loading my save, I'm seeing strange black screen instead of PD layout while teleporting there. Interface and character windows are on their places, game sounds as usual and I can even see pop-ups with descriptions of items lying on the floor of PD - but nothing more. Only interface, cursor and pop-ups. Teleporting back and there again is possible, but PD remains blackscreened. Windows XP SP3 x86, savegame attached.
Another savegame behaves the same way. I've applied hotfix4 with no effect. At the same time game saved before applying hotfix3 displays PD correctly, so I suppose there is something in hotfix.
I created a new non-permadeath character to see if I'll experience PD blacking in that case (both previous characters were permadeath). After some testing I discovered that no blacking occurs if a character is non-permadeath. Moreover, after loading non-permadeath save other saves start working as intended, but only during current game session. After exiting to Windows and relaunching the game PD blacking in permadeath saves reappear.
I posted this, but I have now this issue with the black screen. I just went a level deeper (Level4). As said in my previous post, I have the hotfix 3 + 7 over it. Restarting the game does not change anything. Here is the savegame, within and outside the Pocket Dimension. Hope it helps.
