    Every time I'm trying to go inside dragon cave in Darkmoor game crushes to desktop. I am using Mok's patch - can it be a reason?

There is a probable reason, but I'm afraid it's not good news

    Occasionally, for no particular reason that we've ever been able to work out, the savegame corrupts. There's no consisetncy in it and it can happen anywhere and at any time. For example, in a game many years ago, my party was in a corner of the caves under Castle Kriegspire, and I turned them clockwise to leave it. The game crashed to the desktop. I had saved just shortly before, so I restored the position, went to the same corner, and tried it again. Same result. So I again restored the position, went to the same corner, and turned them anticlockwise to get out of the corner. No problem, the game worked perfectly. It just makes no sense at all.

    If you don't have a backup savegame, try reloading the autosave. You might get lucky. Best wishes, anyway.

    I used savegame, tried to enter again - CTD. Tried again, cleared out some other dungeons, returned for hero promotion - CTD. So it seems I need to start again and may be use this time an older PC.

I recommend Grayface's patch. Most recent version is 2.3.1.

    I've used w/ Win7 and now Win10 starting w/ original disc(s) and any of the patched versions (v1.0, v1.1, v1.2 & v1.2 Moks. I ran patch against downloaded GOG game which seems to work though there are many superfluous GOG files no longer used. Doubt will work if you're running on Steam or GOG Galaxy.

    Make copy of current MM6 folder and rename to MM6-2.3.1 Grayface. Search for Grayface 2.3.1 patch and download into new folder then run, installing into this new folder. I use Firefox browser which asks me whether to download or run. Lots of fixes to make operate w/ Win7 and Win10 as well as commonize operation same as MM7 & MM8. Many fixes can be set back to current MM6 process (though not MM6 v1.0 version features!!!). Probably take care of your problem.

    I always keep a couple of backup save positions, typically when I finish a significant quest. I only need them occasionally – a corrupted save doesn't happen often – but it's a real pain having to restart the game.

    Good luck, and I hope the next one goes better!
