ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Good day,

Hoping someone has the knowledge I need to get this game working for me. I've only played a handful of dungeons over and over and over again due to death/crashes/and saves not loading. I currently have 2 characters at level 15 a level 12 and a level 14 that won't load. If you'd like I can try to get the error reports for each of them ... If you need anything else from me please let me know. I have no idea what I'm doing here, or what exactly is relevant

PC Specs
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K (3.20 GHz)
RAM - 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)
Edition - Windows 11 Home
OS build - 26200.6901
GPU - Nvidia RTX 4090



But Here's an example:


Lua Error: /engine/Target.lua:49: attempt to index field 'source_actor' (a nil value)

At /loader/init.lua:217

I tried loading another save that hasn't been loading... I found this a ways up in the logs from where the error is recorded. Hope it means something to someone that can help. I also posted the portion that gets submitted below.

I'll post the error that was sent to Dark God here as well. I don't know how much to post... so I just took from the error to the bottom of the log file. (I astrixed out the port numbers... no idea if they're important. Let me know if you actually need them)

Welcome to the forums WinNowLoseLater,

Do you have any mods activated? (aside from DLC like Ashes, Embers or Cults). Can you try running t-engine-debug.exe and loading your game with that?

@AstralWanderer
No I do not. I wanted to get some unlocks and get a good grasp of the game before messing with any kind of add ons or anything like that. To be fair, this game looks like I'll have years worth of entertainment just from the base games. I just have to get past these problems. I did try a new character and made it to level 8 before the game crashed.. and I had another dead save. (Sigh)

*Edit* Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm praying you guys can help me through this. I am not good when it comes to trouble shooting things like this haha.

Sorry, I had originally read your response while at work. I looked at it again just a moment ago and saw that you had asked I try it with T-engine-debug.exe.

I tried the save I had posted above and unfortunately I got another error. I'll give the other saves a shot just to see if any of them can be saved this way. (Will update this with an edit)

Edit - This save doesn't give me the option to send an error report. It just freezes the game at 100% loading. If I click around... the screen resizes and flashes a few times but then it goes back to a black screen and I get the main menu music. I wasn't able to use steam to close the game down (as I was running the t-engine-debug.exe). I had to use the task manager. It refused to close from the taskbar.
