There are some weird dungeon glitches in the dungeon in Fountainhead (and possibly others). The map shows walls where their should be none and other hard to explain weirdness. I've tried playing from the original floppies to make sure that it's not just a bug with the Amiga port, too.

I assume you use the english version right?
Could you help me and verify if the german version has the same problem?

I've tried it in winuae using ips floppy images from SPS with the copy protection intact and using the game's built in hdd installer. It works correctly this way. Does this mean there is something wrong with the copy protection removal with the whdload pack?

fine.
it was a bug (missing feature) in the kickstart emulation, the game reads and writes the save game file with the same file handle, that wasn't supported and lead to data corruption.
I don't think so but it's possible that the savegame has been corrupted. for safety it's maybe better you start with a new party?
