ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

When I get the quest for the hidden tunnels, the first level is fine. But when I take the stairs down, I get a totally black screen and the only thing I can do it quit the program. I've had this happen twice now.

fixed

Yeah it happened to me also. Got to remember to read the bugs list (it was posted earlier) before I start a character.

Once I hit the same bug (thieves tunnel, lvl2), is there any way to restore character to normality, or do i need to practically abandon the character?

It's dead Jim.

If you kill -9 (or whatever the Windows/Mac equivalent is) the t-engine process, and the load the last successful save, you should be back in the wilderness, standing on top of whatever town/dungeon you last left.

Unless you disabled autosave.

It's even better. While trying to do >something<, anything really, i tried hitting various keys, resizing window, etc etc, and with one of those things (yea i know i'm helpful here) i managed to get the game to save while in the "black screen on 2nd level of thieves tunnels" state. So the game is actually saved there
