Steam version update - game no longer works

[Runding]

Did anyone find a true solution to this problem? I've been playing for 3 days now and when I first came back I tried the method shown of deleting my POL file and verifying game cache, it got xi to work but things after that were just weird. Half the time monsters and targets wouldn't have the right name and instead would be replaced by something else in the zone. That was no problem I dealt with it, after that however I decided to go do Promothia missions and was in the aqueducts. At that first ladder when I tried to climb it it showed text about one of the magian trials with no option to go up the ladder. After this I tried several times of deleting and reverifying the game cache to eventually get in and now just crash anytime I try to climb the ladder. So I completely reinstalled the game this time, but still getting the same problems, anyone have any solutions?

edit: Still nothing /sigh guess it's time to completely reinstall again... 2 days wasted now.
