ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Heya!

New player here, I tried to search the forums and see if this has been reported. I asked earlier in tome chat about this, and someone told me its known bug. But I didn't find any topic for it (did browse many pages manually).

So, whenever my golem gets frozen, games crashes sooner or later. It happened with frost trap (i rested next to it, golem ran across the trap many times, until crash occured). Now it happens in old forest, where the treant boss pretty much likes to freeze up everything.

I noticed that the crash wont happen straight away, there's some chance you might be able to keep going several turns, until crash occurs.

Friend of mine told me that he doesn't have similiar problem, and hinted that he doesn't have reflective skin on his golem. I played b33 aswell with alchemist up to 30 lvl, and didnt have this skill. But now when I do, this shows up.

I'm not even sure if you can respec your golem skills, or do I have to start from all over?

I suppose you could set the Reflective Skin priority to 0 so it's never used. I'm not sure how the works with sustains, though.

Hello,

it is not the golem it is the effect that is the problem!

If it is just the golem that is frozen and not your character then you either need to take control of golem and hit the #5 button on the movement keys until frozen effect wears off or change the settings for the eye beam and skills that cause the problem to the off position!

I am playing a dwarven alchemist on the insane difficulty level and ran into similar problem with frozen effect!

finally figured out it was because you are not supposed to be able to heal or use skills while frozen!

I know for a fact that these skills will cause the game to freeze when used by your character or golem:

eye beam (golem) | Infusion: Regeneration | Throw Bomb

I am only pretty sure that these will cause the game to freeze as well but have not gotten around to trying it out!

Rune: Shielding | Rune: Manasurge

I never checked on the other skills available to golem or alchemist!

The simple solution for me was simply to save often when fighting an enemy capable of cold attacks and when only one was frozen make sure I was in control of frozen character for duration!

"Infusion: Wild" works nicely though to bad golem cannot use rune though!

This issue is what's happening. It also happens to arcane blades who trigger arcane combat while frozen. It's fixed for the next beta, and that linked thread has a fix you can put in yourself if you're willing to muddle with the code. Not very hard to fix manually.
