[b26b] Yet another game breaking bug

#1 Post by jenx »

I am finding 26b so buggy that I am not going to play it any more. At least in previous versions, you could finish the game! My latest problem is that the game suddenly decided not to draw any dungeons correctly. There was basically no lighting, and I couldn't work out where the walls were. The minimap also only drew in walls in fully lit rooms.

Frustrating... :(

Any problems reported in the log file? I'm sure DarkGod would appreciate some information on how the game broke to stop it breaking in future. These are all beta releases remember, and it's important that the bugs are found and squashed now.

I'm sadly on board with jenx here. It might be some kind of bug with adventure mode, where you 'return' to a level which it can't draw (whether from Eidolon or from the special level of Trollshaws). Nothing at all in the log file and I can't get the game to run at all with a gdb wrapper :(. But right now it's unplayable except for the Arena, and I have never succeeded in passing the master slingers there...

I'm in the same boat. Areas that I re-visit are randomly turning into empty blackness. Including Towns. Like Last Hope. Where my poor temporal warden cannot tell anybody now about the staff getting stolen, because Last Hope is now empty and black, and its name a misnomer. I've given up on b26b.

Okay, I emailed you a .rar'd folder called Dale. It's this level 6 Sun Paladin:

Her Trollmire turned to black emptiness.

I'm hunting down the problem, but I found a temporary fix, if you enable saves per level it should work correctly (it wont fix broken saves but it shouldnt bug out anymore)
