ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello,

I was running a Skeleton Necromancer in the Arena gametype, the 60 waves version.
No error appeared at any time (great!).

My character had a few hard time but i was nearly at the end of the game and he was very powerfull, wave 56 started , there was that odd monster that had his eyes floating around as separate monster (i encountered him in a previous beta in the Orc Prides), 2 orcs assassins and i don't remember what.

My minions were powerfull and killed a monster in no time (helped by me activating the skill that boost them) , it was a matter of a few turns i'm sure for them to clear that round too.

But that monster they killed just leveled me up, at that point it wasn't really necessary, but still i went to the panel (my character was away from the monsters) with the skills and stats, assigned the points.
Then i pressed escape and went back to the battle.

Only to see a lot of turns being played one after another at insane speed (with me no clicking anywhere), and my character dead, looking at the game message log there was nothing unusual , every turns that just passed without me interacting were listed, every attacks, hits etc..
I thought that maybe for some reason one of the monster paralysed me without me noticing at long range , but in the message log there was no mention of anything like this.

Looking at the te4_log.txt does not show anything unsual either, and the game popped up absolutely no error message.

It is the first time this is happening to me (and i have played Arena a lot since the last beta and in the RC, except RC4 that had Arena broken by error message spam), and i can't see what could have lead into this, as leveling up in the middle of a battle and going to the skill/stat panel happened once or twice during this specific game.

I will play more of Arena and will try to reproduce that mid-round level up to see if there's a pattern, because without error ingame and in logs, i can't really be more helpfull in the description of that problem.

Ok, playing a bit more there's indeed something very strange , and very wrong, going on with the Arena gametype :

I just lost a character to none present on the Arena, being at full health and no enemy nearby (my minions being busy destroying them)

I screenshot-ed the message log so you can see


1st part of that new round, i'm roughly at the center of the arena, my minions are fighting and my character cast surge of undeath to buff them.


2nd part, battle between my minions and the enemies still is going on, i'm not involved at all there and none hits me


3rd part while battle continue i shoot darkness at a slinger to weaken his health, a minion finishes him . None hits me.


4th part, still nothing going on against me, the invoke darkness skill gets back online, my minions are still going strong.


5th part, i'm still completely unharmed and untargeted.
My minions are focusing on the summoning honey tree, they don't seem to need any help, they're good.


the summoning honey tree is destroyed, still nothing is happening to me, i'm at full health and nothing wrong is happening, this round is going to be won easily by my troops.


None is attacking me and the last summoned monster is killed by my troop.
Meanwhile the last enemy still alive, a shadowblade manage to blind nearly everyone, including me.

And ... i die, none attacked me, killed by a storm wyrmic that wasn't even on the battlefiled in a single turn without any report in the whole message logging mentionning my character taking any kind of damage.

My character also took a multitude of turns instantly without any action from me and my character died.
This is very frustrating and has happened twice now (on different characters).
There is nothing that I can notice triggering the effect/bug and it always results in the mobs just beating me to death.
