[b42] Game freezes during "Saving" progress bar dialog

[Strannik]

Twice already (with different chars) when I was changing levels the game just frezzes during the "Saving game" progress bar dialog. Music keeps playing but other then this there is no activity and I can't do anything. Bith times I 've waited for about 3 minutes, then I had to start task manager and kill app manually. (had to do "end task" twice each time because app was not responding)

Advice/tips/suggestions?

[darkgod]

next time this happens, save and send me the te4_log.txt file (BEFORE restarting)

Will do. Although I can't save when the game is frozen. I can send you the whatever save file I'll have at that point (hopefuly game freezes *after* completing the saving process and not during it) and te4_log.txt.

I've got the same problem.

Happened once while entering the world map from the eidolon plane, and then with a new character entering Derth town from the world map.

Entered map, game hung on saving at about 22%. Had to kill it.
Restarting and loading the save game brings up the town map but then just hangs again.

Still get the music and the game cursor, whenever the window has focus, but doesn't react to anything, and doesn't render the window again if you minimise it or move anything in front of it.

Both characters were Cornac Rogues.
Running on Vista 32-bit, GeForce 9600M G.

Silly question; how can I send a log file?

Could this be related to this?

[darkgod]

dunno need logs :/

You can zip the log file and sent it to me, darkgod, the internet sign, te4.org

Both times that it happened to me were shortly after I'd been killed and asked to resurrect elsewhere. The first time it happened immediately, when I was returned to the world map. The second time the world map worked, but as soon as I entered the next map (Derth town) it froze.

[mohirl]

Just reproduced it again:
- created a new cornac rogue
- first monster I found, I stood still until it killed me
- chose to be resurrected elsewhere
- froze at the world screen

[edit]
The death thing is irrelevant, just happened again with a character that had never died. On the world screen coming out of a town.

Darkgod, sent you log file and save files, as requested.

This also happened to me on the first install, it should be noted that a fresh install seems to have squashed this bug, so i'm not sure if it's related to a bad install or if it's actually a bug in the game.
Also on a side note, on the first install I unzipped with 7zip, on the concurrent times I installed I unzipped with winrar. I don't know if that would fix the issue or if something unzipped improperly causing the problem or not, but it's worth mentioning.
