[1.7.6] Crash on load in checkTileset

Even when disabling all but the official DLC addons, I'm seeing an error when loading a character save after starting up ToME4:
Code: Select all
ERROR:
Game version: tome-1.7.6
Addons: ashes-urhrok-1.7.4[O]
Lua Error: /engine/Tiles.lua:96: attempt to index a nil value

This occurs consistently for me, and even happens with a fresh character -- create character, start campaign, quit to OS, restart application, load save, then error occurs.

Hmm… you say you have all your addons disabled, but how many do you have installed? Because that sounds kind of similar to
this bug.

Ooh, that's interesting. I've installed several dozen over the years, many disabled by default.
I suspect I'm encountering something else -- I don't think I actually have close to 100 addons, I don't see a crash on character creation, I had no error when I disabled everything -- but it's definitely worth taking the time to prune some addons I no longer use and see if that resolves things.
Thanks!

Ok, I went through and purged a bunch of addons... and unfortunately no change in behavior. The create character - save - quit - restart app - load save sequence still hits the same error.

I wanna say this could be circumvented by launching as an admin? No clue what exactly is causing it tho

That does seem to be a workaround. Does its effectiveness suggest a better long-term solution? (My mind immediately goes to file permissions, but I'm running this on windows and am not familiar with what impact running as administrator has on that OS.)

Just wanted to contribute that I also experienced this bug, I worked around it by changing my tileset to ASCII so I could actually load my game. That not how I'd enjoy playing the game though. I confirmed that running as admin lets me keep using the modern tileset. The permissions issue may be restricted to that tileset.

Hi all, I have the same issue, running is as admin doesn't help, changing tiles to Ascii removes the issue but i dont like that game mode.
Any suggestions pls ?
Edit:
I tried everything, from deleting world.teaw, to uninstalling and deleting all game files...Nothing worked
Also disabling any add-ons didn't help.
What did help in the end was for me to disabling '
Use tilesets' option in the Video Options menu.
Im not sure what effect disabling this setting have on the game but hey, it is working for me atm.

Returning to this thread for the first time in a while because someone posted on reddit with the same issue, and I find this solution, which worked for me. Thanks!
