ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Looking forward to messing around with the beta this weekend and in particular the necromancer rework. I had a question, though - does the restriction against undead races still apply to the new Lichform prodigy?

I had a BSOD issue in the Old Forest a while ago. I found that disabling weather effects solved it, though only on subsequent saves - at the time a zone's graphics settings were fixed the first time you walked in. Is that still the case?

I can confirm that this fix solves my BSOD issue.

Sure thing!

Could you run the game with gdb please ? http://te4.org/wiki/tome4-running-tome-gdb I did this and set logging on but the only thing the log had in it when my computer locked up was this Starting program: C:\Program Files\Tales of Maj'Eyal\t-engine.exe [New Thread 980.0x7ac] [New Thread 980.0x19c] ...

That's not really a bug, though, is it?

Same problem, unfortunately. I'll attach the new log in case it has any new information. I really appreciate the help.

Also please post the te4_log.txt file after your computer restarted (and before firing tome again)

Here's my te4_log.

Argh! I don't know what could be doing it, the old beta did and still does work fine.

Moving from the last beta to the RC, my computer now locks up and restarts whenever the game tries to save itself. I'm running Windows XP SP3.

Does the new Release Candidate change the way saves are written or stored?

Is there some way around this? Maybe a short-term workaround would be to use ASCII mode to go through the problematic levels? Or have you tried that already? Is there a way to turn on ASCII mode without loading up a save? Because my save is right inside the Old Forest and it crashes within seconds ...

I'm getting this same issue, across multiple characters. My best guess is that it has something to do with the graphical environmental effects in the Old Forest, but I tried disabling everything I could in the video options menu and it didn't help. Is there some way around this?
