Hospital Guard gone (Chapter II)

Greetings! So, I've got this weird thing preventing me from playing further - yep, the hospital guard is not there at all. Noone to bribe or dazzle with my shiny new city guard ring. I am pretty sure he's never spawned on his post. The prisoner is waiting for me at the hospital, I can't enter in Shani's footsteps (someone on the forum managed that, apparently), and the game is stuck. If someone could give me an advice on how to get into the hospital, it would be greatly appreciated!

If this is a Steam version then verify the game cache files . Other than that you can try reloading an earlier save .

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, it's not a Steam, but a cd version, and I've got no earlier save

Well there are a couple of options here . One I can send you one of my save files from the beginning of Act 2 as it doesn`t sound like you`re that far in . The other being you can send me your save and maybe but definitely no guarantees I can find why the guard isn`t spawning .

You can always get your free backup copy from GOG and give it a try.

I know, I know, I'm suggesting this all the time. I just happen to be a GOG fan.
And a reinstall can sometimes fix problems. Also TW1 is said to be sensitive to antivirus software, so you may want to add the folder to the list of exceptions.
But these are only advices from an amateur, I'm no technical expert.

In general it is a good idea to save manually from time to time. Those saves can come in handy later in case you want to go back for something you've missed.
