Infinite bugs

#1 Post by PeterW »

Infinite dungeon with a very overpowered character.

I thought I'd try to get to level 500 while things are quiet :). That's not going to happen, but I MIGHT make level 300.

Around Level 250'ish I start getting out of memory errors and segfaults - I have 16G of RAM. It appears to be levels or data being saved and reloaded as it gets gluier the deeper I go. I suggest that saving anything beyond the current level and local caves is unnecessary once a player takes that first step.

I'm at level 291 - I can get a level or so before I crash, sometimes. Save is also very erratic sometimes taking an infinite time and being unrecoverable. (And yes I have a way around that).

The next bug is infinite category bonuses, which is nice in the infinite dungeon, well apart from when I meet my mirror image, that's a bit painful with him also being more overpowered than I am.

Simply add a category point, take it away and the bonus is increased. I'm not sure at what point that started happening but I deeply regret putting points into some categories to get the bonus up because it refuses to add the points to those categories which were obviously the ones I relied on the most :).

Third bug. Any objects that give a category bonus - the bonus will stack and you can get multiple items here. Most items the maximum you could get is a double bonus but there are a few things which have no limit other than your carry weight.

Otherwise, generally much more stable, very few of the lockups on level changes that plagued earlier versions up until L200'ish at least.
