I'm at the point in my game where I've unlocked the fortress, and the game is freezing every time I try accessing the library to populate it with all data from previous runs. The percentage completion before the freeze varies, but I ran a couple tests to look at the Lua Error in the log. Both returned the error below. It looks like the game can't find a specific entry maybe? Also, I've never had this issue on previous characters.

Find world.teaw
Delete world.teaw
Library works !
it's in C:\Users\[username]\T-Engine\4.0\tome\save

Re: Fortress Library Freezes Game When First Accessed
Thanks, I gave that a try, but it didn't work. I also noticed that world.teaw is recreated once a save file is loaded, so I even tried deleting it after loading a game for good measure. Unfortunately, the game still crashed when I tried to access the library, regardless of whether I deleted world.teaw before or after loading a save.
Re: Fortress Library Freezes Game When First Accessed
Oh, so that's not the usual library bug and my whole knowledge of fix is copying what works for other bugs so can't help more >.>

Re: Fortress Library Freezes Game When First Accessed
I am having this exact same problem in 1.5.10. The te4_log.txt gives the exact same LUA error as the OP posted, character for character.
This has affected my 2 most recent characters that have gotten to the fortress. Though one is dead already. The only lore that I had collected that I know for sure for the dead one that I hadn't gotten previously is those about anti-magic, as it was the first character I had gotten to the fortress that was anti-magic. The second character is also anti-magic, but has also collected some additional lore about traps in particular from being a rogue. So I don't know if it's any of the new lore I picked up that might be doing it, or the volume of lore I have collected so far, or what.

Going to expand on this from with much of the same as I did for discord:
Deleting world.teaw does nothing. The "new" world.teaw generated after deleting it just makes the exact same file with same checksums.Accessing the fortress library causes the game to stop working for me in 1.5.10. For the last few days it would freeze the game whilst doing the synch lore thing anywhere from 23% to 97% on the progress bar, sometimes with hearing achievement sounds. And now it seems it won't load past the mid-20%s.
While using `--flush-stdout`, this is the lua error the te4_log.txt spits out when the game stops working:
This is what comes right before the lua error about 60% of the time, no matter the progress bar percentage the game stops working at:Code: Select all

I'm onto my third character since I originally reported this bug, and each of the three characters runs into the same issue at the fortress. The LUA error is the same, and deleting world.teaw still doesn't do the trick. I see that c2t first encountered the issue after getting to the fortress with an anti-magic character for the first time, and I can report that this was true for me as well. It's interesting to think that the related lore could potentially be the problem since a lot of people should be having the problem if it is, but it's definitely a common thread between the two of us. However, for me, only that first character was anti-magic.
Re: Fortress Library Freezes Game When First Accessed
So, I have figured out how to truly delete world.teaw. My issue with removing it was Steam, the Steam cloud, and how the game interacts with the cloud. Simply disabling Steam cloud doesn't work, and even is a non-option for me as the cloud cannot be disabled for individual games anymore. It was quite the involved process to isolate the cause and actually remove it for real. I will PM you a rough draft of what I am planning to post at some point to maybe help you with it if you are also playing through Steam.
All that said though, this doesn't alleviate the trigger for whatever causes the library thing to start happening. However, I'm not so sure it would be so simple to figure out. I do have the old world.teaw that was causing me issues if anyone is interested in that.

I'm posting to confirm that Steam proves to have been the issue for me as well. Thanks again for your help c2t!
Re: Fortress Library Freezes Game When First Accessed
For benefit of those finding this through search or whatever: information on how to delete "world.teaw" while using Steam and its cloud can be found at the one of the following:

Re: Fortress Library Freezes Game When First Accessed
I have a couple updates related to this that I thought I should post.
First, while deleting world.teaw does resolve the library issue on the current run, the issue recurs on subsequent characters. This is true even if I disable Steam cloud saves, as Cathbald suggested in the thread c2t linked above. I'm still leaving cloud saves off as it seems to be a good idea.
Second, manipulating world.teaw to deal with the library issue has other consequences: namely that it resets progress on achievements that are tracked across multiple characters. I was able to confirm that deleting world.teaw reset Reaver and A Fistful of Demons on my current character, and I would presume Pyromancer and Cryomancer are also affected. I checked achievement progress very soon after deleting world.teaw to allow the library to load. My count for Reaver was only 14, and my count for A Fistful of Demons was 0 despite finally getting the Doomelf unlock on this character. I tried restoring the deleted world.teaw from my recycle bin, and when I reloaded the save, Reaver and A Fistful of Demons were again reflecting progress that was more in line with what I expected (500+ for Reaver and 60+ for Demons).
As such, tracking multi-character achievements must be one of the functions of world.teaw, which is worth keeping in mind if you care about getting those achievements like I do. Of course, fixing the library also allows you to get the lore achievements more easily when doing a higher difficultly level for the first time, so if you are experiencing this bug, you may want to choose which type of achievement to focus on first if they matter to you. Personally, I'm going to make sure I get those kill count and damage achievements in Insane Roguelike before bothering world.teaw again, although I'll also check to see if the library works normally for me whenever 1.6 comes out.
One other note is that restoring the older world.teaw file on my current character reverted to library back to its unloaded state, where it again freezes the game. I also found that I now get a Lua error when trying to check known lore through the normal menu, though I'd suspect that's a result of messing with world.teaw so much.
Edit: I forgot to note that I also checked single character achievements, and those are not affected by world.teaw. Guiding Light, for example, was correct at 6 escorts saved before and after I messed with world.teaw. Other single character achievements had reasonable progress.
