Freeze at Places of Power

Hello all,I'm an absolute noob- please be kind. I've encountered a problem where the game seems to freeze when I activate the Place of Power near the cave in the Outskirts of Vizima. I lose mouse ability, none of the keys work, and there is no selection for what to do. I know that this early in the game, I should only have Power of Magic, but there is no option at all. I have to ctrl-alt-del and shut down the game.There's probably something really obvious and stupid I'm missing, but any advice is appreciated.

Hello absolute noobie Ceilan if this a physical copy of game you could always do a reinstall of game and yes you have the ability to keep your saved games but make a backup just in caseIf it`s a digital download then you could do a file integrity check to see if you have missing/corrupt files

Wells that's terribly annoying. I have the Steam version, Enhanced Edition. I tried out another Place of Power, the one inside the crypt, and had the same problem.

did you do a file integrity check

I looked around Steam's site but I don't see how to do that?

Thank you very much for that. I did the check and it said all files validated... I'm confused. Just avoiding them for now, nothing else I can do.

the game just waits for you commandtry to press 1 or 2 ( the keys i mean ) so that you select an option ( even if the options are not shown on screen )

Just popping in to note that I get this freeze at the teleports, too. But I will try the 1 and 2 suggestion.

Ok, I tried pushing 1 and 2 and basically nothing helps. I have to Ctr-Alt-Del and shut the game down to get out of the freeze. Very frustrating. Oh well, I just can't use the places of power and teleports it seems.
