Load into black screen on Grushnak Pride - Lua Error

#1 Post by Gee »

I tried to enter Grushnak Pride and ended up getting stuck on the Generating Level screen. I had to restart the game, and upon restarting I now load into a black screen with no available UI, map, or character elements. A stack trace gets repeatedly printed out if I run the game from the terminal:

Lua Error: /engine/Map.lua:709: attempt to call a nil value
At [C]:-1
At /engine/Map.lua:709 checkAllEntities
At /engine/interface/ActorFOV.lua:59
At [C]:-1 calc_circle
At /engine/interface/ActorFOV.lua:58 computeFOV
At /mod/class/Player.lua:657 playerFOV
At /mod/class/Game.lua:1730 updateFOV
At /mod/class/Game.lua:1761 displayMap
At /mod/class/uiset/Minimalist.lua:1947 display
At /mod/class/Game.lua:1856

This is on Linux playing on Steam.

This is my first Nightmare character to get this far so if at all possible I'd love a way to recover this save.

I think we need this stickied somewhere...

I believe the fix is to load the save, then ask in in game chat for a GM to port you to a real location.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have any game chat UI elements on my screen, so I've posted in the discord asking for assistance.
