Had a random crash on entering a zone and now I can't reopen that character (can still open others). It seems to load normally, then sits at 100% for ages , then goes to a black screen and never progresses from there (I think going to a black screen may relate to if I press esc/alttab or such?). This is the bottommost stuff in my log file, not really sure what else might help. This was my first time playing with addons (although a few fairly mundane QoL things). Here's the bottom-most stuff in my log after trying to load it

Code: Select all

Welcome to the forums Dabor,

Which addons are you using? (i.e. does disabling any of them help). Which zone did you crash in?

Thanks for hopping in. A mod on the discord helped me - this was loading into Heart of the Gloom, my addons were just a few of the most common QoL ones - turn separated, escort AI, and that one QoL tweak pack. Sadly this character was unsalvagable, it corrupted like a third of the way into saving.

I had ANOTHER character get stuck at 100% loading later, but that was fixable just by removing .tmp from the .teag save file, but it's still worrying I've had this happen twice in a row, but all I can really do is just make my own manual backups every 30-60 mins in case something corruptions. I'm not having it happen on other games and there's nothing in the addons that should repeated corrupt saving only for me, so it's possibly just an oddly specific PC issue or program interaction.

I've had problems with the Turn Separator mod causing crashes in one particular zone (can't quite remember if it was Heart of the Gloom or not) - try disabling that temporarily.
