ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello

I've been trying out tome - problem is the game crashes when using save files. That is
: when using ctrl + s, when I think there would be a load screen when you die, when trying to load a file from the boot screen.

I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty - and have installed through synaptic gui & had this problem - and then uninstalled and compiled source manually and still same problem.

If anyone has any tips to solve, please let me know.

Thanks!

are you talking about using a savefile to restore a character after they died?
It's been years since I did that, but I believe I had to also change a line of text in some other file each time I wanted to restore a character. The game designers frown on that sort of thing and try not to make it too easy to play that way.
Some people recommend simply playing with the Cheat Death option set to on instead.

This is a known issue and it had been fixed in CVS.

Guys I think we'll need to release 2.3.6 soon.

Yep I'm getting this as well... It looks like Linux buffer overflow protection does not like some of the code. Or something.
