I started the game as multiplayer because I wanted to play with 2 characters sorcerer and monk and have 4 NPCs join me... though of course I'm playing alone with no one joining.

Problem is quickload shortcut doesnt work. Also loading game is much longer because now I have to click the checkmark next to each NPC (6 in total) which is annoying. And when I thought I could live with that I discovered that on loading the formation order is completely changed. Now it's very annoying to have to rearrange my party every time I load.

Anything I can do in this case?

I belive that you can place your multiplayer save file in your singleplayer save map and you can load it as a singleplayer game...

thus taking care of all theese problems.

Now why haven't I thought of that?
Wonderful bjorn, it worked beautifully. Thanks.

no problem! glad to help
