- I'll ignore the smart-ass comment/dismissal re: *real* solutions, and
- attempt to help. Did you follow any of the other suggestions, such as not
- placing more than 8 items in a sack, and not putting one sack inside another?
- Also, you should never place an item in a closed container. Open the container
- first. I realize how easy it is to do this without thinking. I catch myself at
- it all the time. According to Origin, one problem might be that the program's
- "inventory full" message is not triggered when an item is moved to a closed
- sack, leading the player to assume that he/she possesses the item when in fact
- he/she does not. You might also try stowing some of your sacks, packs, etc.
- *before* moving to a different level. Hope some of this info helps.
