I was thinking about giving Arcanum another try, with those long evenings coming.

Shortly after starting the game I started to wonder: shouldn't Virgil be talking? Apparently something is wrong and I get no voice? Music and effects are OK.

Patched to 1.0.7.4 and UAP091225, WinXP.

I was unable to find anyone reporting a similar problem on forums such as GOG or VOGONS.

UPDATE: problem solved, apparently this was cache-related (the game unpacks content on the go, so it must be able to write new files).

Case closed!
