ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hi, ToME newbie* here!

I've been playing for a few days now - unfortunately my first character to make any real progress seems to have a corrupted save file. When I load this save the game consistently crashes. I can load all other savefiles without problems.

If it's relevant my character and his alchemist golem are standing in the portal room at the bottom of Reknor. I'm running the 64-bit Linux version, offline. In terminal it comes up with a segfault, just after the line: I can paste all the other terminal spam if it helps. I did try disabling sound which made no difference.

Is there any hope for Jim the Alchemist and Thatcher the Golem? I'm open to savefile hackery if it helps; I'm not too concerned if the game calls it cheating as a result. If not I guess I'll just put it down to YASD!





*Although I did play it back when it was in Middle Earth - seem to recall hilarious levelling exploits with the potion of detonations that alchemists started with.

However, if it isn't a lua error, it might not be easy to fix when its a mystery crash.

Have you tried flushing the log output http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=43181 or disabling shaders?

Thanks HousePet!

I submitted it to Stunt's site. Couldn't find any lua errors in the log file.

Interestingly, it did load after disabling shaders. Shader demon hiding in the swirly portal thing, with a critical segfault attack? I'll back up the save and see if it'll crash in other places.

Edit: Thatcher the Golem appears to have been possessed by the demon - it's wandering around with a green/blue gradient hovering over it

So I saved in a different area; re-enabled shaders and restarted game. No further problems on loading. May avoid saving near swirly portals in future.

One of the shaders causes random peoples computers to implode for no apparent reason.
